The New Trend: Buying Pre- Owned Luxury Bags

There are few expenses that are thought to be worth it, and for women a designer handbag is among one of them. But nowadays, since women have started to earn, they are more conscious of how much they are spending on such frivolous expenses. With this in mind, there has emerged a new type of shopping and that is of buying pre-owned designer bags. It might have been looked down upon not that long ago, but taking into consideration the unstable economies, pay checks and more, the benefits of purchasing pre-owned bags is more than ever. One can, not just buy an otherwise expensive bag at a much cheaper rate, but also have the advantage to sell their rarely used designer bags in for some profit.

Buying pre-owned luxury bags is the new in thing, and there are also many sites and platforms online that help people connect with sellers. And it could be fun to get browse through such high- end brands and still be able to afford them without giving away the entire month’s pay.

The very label that a designer brand brings is enough to lure people over to buy it, but the one thing that can make them turn away from it is the high price. Which is granted also, as the high quality control, handmade and sometimes expensive fabrics and the entire process of making these bags can be quite pricey. One can be assured that, if one buys a designer bag, then it will last them for a considerable amount of time.

Other than these factors which make buying pre-owned luxury handbags a good option, here are a few reasons that might just sweeten the pot more:


1.    Socially Accepted:
There was once a stigma attached to owning or using anything that has been used before, especially in the upper and rich circles. That is slowly going away, as people are realising that managing of the expenses is more important than flaunting one’s wealth unnecessarily. There are even certain luxury brands that are available online. One can easily buy either fresh or pre-owned Valentino bags online without any hassle.

2.    No More Waiting:
One usually has to wait a certain amount of time, either until the bags come back in stock at the store or one is able to save enough cash. But with this concept, one does not have to either and can buy at their wish.

3.    Affordable:
Coming on from the point above, the one thing that truly makes buying pre-owned luxury items a good thing is that they are affordable. But one can also be certain that the quality will be original and of course there is the whole point of being able to flaunt a designer label among one’s peers.

5 Styles of Bags for Corporate Culture

“Handbags speak louder than words.” After all, they define your personality, and give an outright bold statement about your taste. Wherever you go, you leave an imprint of your personality without uttering a word – and that’s all because of the accessories you carry. Eyes shift from your footwear to the bags. And in the corporate culture, it is important to maintain an image, and thus this blog shall give you an overview on 5 styles of handbags you should take to your workplace.

1.    Small-top Handle Tote- They are easy to carry, and have volume to hold a lot of stuff which small sling bags fail to have. Check out for totes that have compartments, small pouches and thick lining to hold good amount of belongings. There are various designer brands that deal in luxurious tote bags, and you can acquire these easily. Just hit the internet and you can look for Michael Kors, Da Milano or Prada Handbags online without much ado.

2.    Shoulder Bag- Shoulder bags are perfect for women looking for bags that can be held with relaxation and will be able to store good amount of stuff. They come in as very handy and flexible thus serving as an asset.

3.    Mini Tote- Though mini totes will not give you ample space, but the style and class it has, no other style of bag shall ever will. They are super classy, and can also be converted to a cross styled bag very easily.

4.    Mini Pochette- If you carry a laptop bag at office, then this bag is a complete win-win for you. They are classy, elegant, and convenient to carry as they are small in size and light weight.

5.    Foldable Bags- These bags are easily available in the market and take very less space when kept folded in the bag. They are ideal to be used during grocery shopping.
