Trends in Luxury Vintage: The Bags That Come and Go... and Those Making a Comeback! 🎒

In the world of pre-owned luxury bags, fashions come and go, just like current trends. If you're a vintage enthusiast, you'll know full well that not all bags retain the same value over time. Some, which were once every vintage lover's dream, are less sought after today, while others, perhaps languishing in some corner of your mother's wardrobe and which you never used for fear of feeling like a boomer, have seen an unexpected resurgence. 

Let's delve deeper with a few examples!

Louis Vuitton: Ups and Downs 👜

Louis Vuitton is a name that evokes timeless luxury, but even here trends make a difference. What yesterday lasted only a few minutes on our site today has seen its storage time in our closets increase by several weeks! 

-Trevi and Tivoli: Remember when the Trevi and Tivoli were everywhere? In years past, these bags were top-notch, the dream of every brand lover. Today, however, their star has dimmed a bit, and their value on the pre-owned market has fallen. Our purchase offers have therefore also fallen to manage to sell them at a price that takes into account a "drop in desirability"  Despite their impeccable quality, they seem to have unfortunately fallen off the radar of the new generation of vintage lovers.

- Speedy 25: On the contrary, the small but powerful Speedy 25 has become more coveted than ever! This iconic bag, which a few years ago seemed like the uncool version of the iconic Baulette, has seen a real resurgence. Today, its value is indeed constantly growing, along with the larger versions and perhaps with the arrow pointing left lit up for an overtake that even a fervent fantasy would not have predicted a few years ago! Today, yes, we can say it! The younger brother of the Speedy is a real investment for those who love vintage.

Gucci: the "Old" becomes vintage and the New becomes old 👜

Even at Gucci, some bags have experienced popularity rollercoasters.

- Marmont: The Marmont, with its quilted GG design, had a moment of glory, but now it seems to have lost some of its charm. It may be due to overexposure or simply because fashion changes, but its value on the pre-owned market has definitely fallen. And this is where some misunderstandings arise during negotiations. "But why? Last year you offered me more" Well, today you know why! 

- Jackie: And who would have ever said it? The Jackie bag, inspired by the timeless elegance of Jackie Kennedy, has made a comeback. Why this astonishment? Because we bought so many in recent years almost as if to please you by "freeing up your closet" today, instead, after a period of relative obscurity,  it is extremely loved and sought after, and we can no longer buy them and therefore resell them at the wow prices of the past! 

Fendi: The Return of the Baguette 🥖

Finally, we cannot fail to talk about Fendi and its transformations.

- Baguette: The Baguette by Fendi, made famous by the "Sex and the City" series, was an icon of the '90s, but some time ago it did not enjoy great value on the pre-owned market. In this case too, we bought after careful evaluations, with fears still hanging over us, and then a slow but unstoppable  rise! Today it has made a powerful comeback, becoming one of the most desired items by vintage enthusiasts. But how long will it last? How much will it be worth in a couple of years? It's right to ask such questions... 

- Two Jours: On the other hand, the Two Jours, which had a sophisticated and structured appeal, today does not have the same appeal. Its value has decreased, and it seems that vintage bag lovers have turned their attention elsewhere.

I could continue this story by mentioning the Dior Saddle, which had a vertical explosion in a few years, or I could tell you about the slow decline of the Speedys, but then I think about it carefully and feel like giving you  only one great piece of advice

 Choose with your Heart ❤️

Fluctuations in the value of pre-owned luxury bags are inevitable, but don't let yourself be too influenced! Even though market value is important, the most significant thing is to choose what you truly love. A bag that makes you feel good every time you wear it has a value that goes beyond any figure 💫. So, if you fall in love with a bag, whether it is a Jackie, a Speedy, or a Marmont, get it! We spend our lives making rational choices, let's not rob ourselves of the pleasure of treating ourselves by listening only to a desire
