If there’s one accessory that offers as much functionality as it does style, it’d be a purse. No matter what your personal fashion aesthetic is, there are always going to be purses or handbags to match. Designer purses have always been sought-after accessories, and depending on the brand you’re after, they can get extremely expensive. One way to keep prices low and quality high is to shop used designer purses.
What Is Special About a Used Designer Purse?
New Quality, Used Price
Some people who buy handbags from luxury brands don’t want them after they’re out of season. What does this mean to you? That sometimes high-end purses can end up in thrift or consignment stores after only a few uses. If it’s your lucky day, you could be walking out of a consignment store with a bag worth hundreds of dollars that is essentially still brand new, and for a fraction of its original price.
Big Names
If you’re into fashion, you’ll know that big brand names are usually associated with luxury and quality. You don’t have to be a bag connoisseur to come across a used designer purse you love at your consignment store and know its great quality. Part of what makes designer purses so sought after is the high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Real leather is a luxury material, and a lot of these luxury brand names make their bags hand-stitched. These two details alone can make a handbag quite expensive. When you find a bag like this at a consignment store, the quality hasn’t lost value nor style, it’s just your lucky day!
Sustainability
Of course, a huge factor in what makes shopping for used designer purses so special is that it’s a sustainable way to shop. Like any secondhand clothing or accessory, used designer purses are not contributing to the depletion of resources needed to make new ones. With these gently used accessories, you’ll not only look good, but you’ll also feel good about not impacting the environment.
Which designer bags hold their value?
Designer bags are going to keep their value intact over the years if they are timeless styles and usable by the masses. For example, a big flashy disco ball of a bag isn’t going to hold onto its value as much as an understated-yet-chic black satchel. This is because the satchel is way more likely to remain in style and remain versatile, over a fun, but niche style.
A designer bag’s long-term value can also be very dependent on the materials that are used. If the bag was made with a really fragile material, for example, lace, it’s not going to last as long as leather or canvas.
Other times, which designer bags hold their value is random. Trends can come and go, and to an extent, the value of a bag is in the eye of the beholder. Some styles or other details just mean more to some than to others. As long as a used designer purse is in good condition, it will match someone’s style.
