Trends in Luxury Vintage: The Bags That Come and Go... and Those That Come Back to the Forefront! 🎒

In the world of used luxury bags, fashions come and go, just like current trends. If you're a vintage enthusiast, you'll know that not all bags hold the same value over time. Some, once the dream of every vintage, are now less sought after, while others, perhaps languishing in some corner of your mother's wardrobe and that you never used because you didn't want to feel like a boomer, have seen an unexpected rebirth.

Let's delve deeper into the discussion with some examples!

Louis Vuitton: Between Ups and Downs 👜

Louis Vuitton is a name that evokes timeless luxury, but here too trends make the difference. What yesterday lasted on our site a few minutes today have seen their storage time in our closets increase to a few weeks!

-Trevi and Tivoli: Remember when Trevi and Tivoli were everywhere? In years past, these bags were the top, the dream of every lover of the brand. Today, however, their star has faded a bit, and their value on the second-hand market has dropped. Our purchase proposal has also dropped to be able to sell them at a price that takes into account a "drop in desire". Despite their impeccable quality, they seem to have unfortunately disappeared from the radar of the new generations of vintage.

- Speedy 25: On the contrary, the small but mighty Speedy 25 has become more coveted than ever! This iconic bag that a few years ago seemed like the lame version of the iconic trunk, has seen a real rebirth. Today, its value is constantly growing, on par with the larger versions and perhaps with the left indicator on for an overtaking that a few years ago not even a fervent fantasy would have predicted! Today, yes, we can say it! The little 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 a roller coaster of popularity.

- Marmont: The Marmont, with its quilted GG design, had a moment of glory, but now it seems to have lost some of its charm. Maybe it's due to excessive exposure or simply because fashion changes, but its value on the second-hand market has definitely dropped. This is where some misunderstandings arise during the negotiation phase. "But how come? Last year you offered me more." Now you know why!

- Jackie: And who would have ever said it? The Jackie bag, inspired by the timeless elegance of Jackie Kennedy, is back in the limelight. Why this surprise? Because we have bought so many of them in the past years almost as if to do you the pleasure of "clearing out your closet" today instead after a period of relative obscurity, it is much 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 Fendi Baguette, made famous by the series "Sex and the City", was an icon of the 90s, but some time ago it did not enjoy great value on the second-hand market. Again, purchases after careful evaluation, for fear that they would remain on our backs and then a slow but unstoppable rise! Today it has returned forcefully to the limelight, becoming one of the most desired objects by vintage enthusiasts. But how long will it last? How much will it be worth in a couple of years? It is right to ask questions like this...

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

I could continue this story by mentioning Dior's La Saddle which has had a vertical explosion in a few years or I could mention the slow decline of Speedy, but then I think about it carefully and I feel like giving you just one great piece of advice.

Choose with your Heart ❤️

Fluctuations in the value of used luxury bags are inevitable, but don't let them influence you too much! Although 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, be it a Jackie, a Speedy, or a Marmont, get it! We spend our lives making rational choices, let's not take away the pleasure of treating ourselves by just listening to a wish
