I’m pretty late to looking at and buying preloved designer, but in recent years, since we couldn’t go out and check out everything new and shiny, I turned to the past. And I have been smitten!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I own a few luxury designer bags from up to 15 years ago, and I can very safely say that the quality of luxury designer goods then and now are quite different. It seems trite to say this, but the quality appears to be better in the older, vintage bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a few people ask if I could share some tips on buying preloved luxury designer bags, so here’s a few things you should bear in mind. The preloved industry seems to be booming now, but I’d advise proceeding with caution, because so is the counterfeit industry \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Shopping preloved luxury designer bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Back in my day, used products were called just that – used. Or secondhand. I do think preloved does sound better LOL! \ud83d\ude00 There also used to be a bit of a stigma surrounding buying a used item, implying that you could not afford a new one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the realm of luxury designer bags, not being able to afford a new one in these times, is pretty much a fact. I have noticed that prices of designer goods have been rising very quickly, with price increases year on year, to what I deem to be a ludicrous amount these days. I’m not even talking about the more luxurious brands like Hermes or Chanel or Louis Vuitton. Even mid-tier luxury brands like Coach cost significantly more than I think they’re worth, and for someone who’s familiar with their older products, I can safely say that the quality used to be miles better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe this sharp rise in prices of luxury designer goods is what has spurred the expansion of the preloved fashion industry. It’s given people the opportunity to own a luxury designer item, but at a more palatable price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn’t necessarily use the words “low price” or “cheap” because that definition is dependant on your own perceptions and how much you can afford or are willing to spend. But in many instances, if you are looking for a luxury designer good, the prices are more palatable than buying a new item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d noticed in the past that countries like Hong Kong and Japan have many preloved luxury designer bag stores. I’d even picked up a little bargain in one little store in Hong Kong in the past! But I’ve also noticed more stores popping up locally (that seem a little more legitimate than the ones that used to be available) so it must be a sign that our local market is maturing in terms of luxury designer goods too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have some tips you can keep in mind before you dive down this rabbit hole, if it’s one you’re considering \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n

Why shop preloved luxury designer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the fact that a used good is often priced lower or at a more affordable price than a new good, there are other reasons you might want to consider a preloved bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
