The Rise of Vintage and Pre-Loved Designer Bags
The most coveted handbags of 2025 aren’t new—they’re storied. From Chanel's discontinued flap bags to Dior Saddle bags from the early 2000s, vintage is the new pinnacle of taste.
The appeal? Provenance over hype. These bags tell a story, offering rarity and character that new releases can’t. Celebrities like Sofia Richie, Zoë Kravitz, and Kendall Jenner have made archival arm candy a quiet status flex.
Resale platforms like The RealReal and Rebag are booming, while even Amazon is stepping into verified resale. Vintage bags are no longer second best—they’re deliberate choices.
Buying vintage is more than sustainable. It’s curatorial. In 2025, a pre-loved bag doesn’t mean you missed out—it means you know better.
