The
drawers in your mother’s closet are probably a treasure trove full of
archival designs you can no longer find in stores. Otherwise,
second-hand goods are the answer.

The
year is 2019, but curiously many are dressed more like their ‘90s style
icons these days. Some are even revisiting throwback fashion trends
from the 2000s that we all thought should be left in the past. After dad
shoes, scrunchies, bucket hats and tiny sunglasses became hot fashion
items in the past two years, capri pants and biker shorts are now having
a moment. The interest in vintage designer bags has also grown
considerably among millennials and Gen Zers. From Fendi’s Zucca print
and Dior’s signature branding, to Gucci’s house monogram and Prada’s
classic, inverted triangle logo plate, retro purses are all over
Instagram.
So,
where can you find these old luxury handbags? The easy answer would be
your mother’s wardrobe. Those drawers of hers are like a treasure trove
full of archival designs you can no longer find in stores. You’ll just
have to rummage through them for your dream bag, and hope that your mum
doesn’t notice anything has gone missing. Just kidding.
For
those who prefer a less sneaky route, we’ve rounded up a list of the
six best stores to shop for designer bags online. Read on to learn where
we get our second-hand goods.

Collective is where supermodel Karlie Kloss shops her Chanel bags, so

reselling market, the web store sees a vast line-up of pre-owned
handbags by Prada, Fendi and the like — all available at reduced prices.
What Goes Around Comes Around

Couture. The store carries a huge selection of new and preloved Birkins
that are difficult to get hold of.
