Hi all,
I am looking at buying my partner pre-loved/used/second hand luxury handbags (such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel etc).
I've been looking at a few stores online but the re-sellers seem to inflate the price significantly. I understand they are a business and need to make a profit as well. But I'm trying to save where I can…lol.
I'm curious to know, does anyone know where a lot of these re-sellers buyer their pre-loved/used/second hand luxury handbag stock from (either in Australia or Internationally)? I'd rather buy direct from the source if possible.
Or if anyone could recommend good places to buy these luxury handbags from :)

Edit: to clarify, I'm not looking to pay dirt cheap for a lux handbag but I'm trying to find it cheaper than a re-seller if possible.

    buy direct from the source if possible.

    yeah, the people want to sell their used bag.

    just like people want to trade in/sell their car to a dealership…

    where do you think the source is?… /s

    you can put up a wanted ad (and probably get ripped off with a fake), or you pay for someone else to do the checking to assure it is authentic. 1st option is more interesting so OP can post a follow up post with the dramas and the wife's reactions…

    If you cannot afford to buy new buy her something else.

  • John Kimble on 30/08/2022 - 10:27

    Where have you looked already?

    Cashies? (probably stolen goods though)
    Facebook Marketplace? (probably stolen goods though) But you'd need to verify authenticity somehow…

    google consignment stores (e.g. the emier), they sell on behalf of others.

    its really about luck of the draw. All bags are individual and priced accordingly, often for more than the original RRP due to rareness.

    Since you asked:

    https://www.shapiro.com.au

    This is where you can get 2nd hand luxury goods based on this article:

    Thank you for asking this question. May it give you the avenue to purchase the item you want for your partner.

  • pharkurnell on 30/08/2022 - 11:50

    ebay, crime converters etc

  • BargainsMadeMeBroke on 30/08/2022 - 11:55

    Try https://www.thepurseaffair.com/
    They’re based in Melbourne CBD and have sales every now and then. The prices seem ok relative to luxury brands. Hope this helps

    • peanut48 on 31/08/2022 - 07:23

      They are too expensive for second hand goods.

  • BargainsMadeMeBroke on 30/08/2022 - 12:04

    Oh and try https://www.theoutnet.com/en-au/shop/bags
    They’ve got an up to 70% off sale at the moment

  • Drakesy on 30/08/2022 - 12:18

    With fakes being so good these days i would try to avoid running the gauntlet with second-hand, handbags are particularly easy to replicate. Even major watch brands are having their customers purchase fakes knowingly because of the run around they're giving them with timeframes etc.

    Not sure how cheap ur hoping to get these pre-loved bags. Pricing are based on supply and demand. Also the condition and what you get with the bag (dust bag/box/receipt/etc). You are still looking at around 5 to 6k for a pre-loved Chanel mini bag, if that’s what you’re after.

    Have a look at these on Facebook/IG, they mostly consignment stores where they sell on behalf of others. Have used a few of these with no issues.

    The Luxury Hall
    Lux Lovers Melb
    Timelessluxuries
    Chloe and Eddie
    TimelesslikeAudrey
    TimeslessVogue

    If you know what you are looking for/already familiar with luxury bags/purchases, Facebook market place is also a good place to look at. I’ve seen/have made some good buys here. Also there are Facebook pages dedicated to buy/swap/sell of luxury bags.

    • jace88 on 31/08/2022 - 19:13

      I'd also suggest the FB pages but
      1. They aren't easy to find since many of them got renamed to avoid detection
      2. Don't forget to get things authenticated
      3. Don't use PayPal family and friends unless you know what you're doing.

    The second hand ones aren't that usually that much cheaper than the new ones because stock of the new ones are not always readily available. Similar situation to motor vehicles right now, actually.

    If you want second hand, your best bet is to ask around your friends group re anyone that wants to sell theirs. It'll cut out the [huge] margin that these second hand stores add on top.

    I buy my Chanel bags from Fashionphile online.
    It's in US dollars so you have to convert it, plus pay tax on it (if it's over AU$1,000) when it arrives in Australia.
    Customs will release it to you and deliver it after.

    If you are buying vintage on Ebay, you must be very careful. Ask for lots of photos, ask for serial numbers, and receipts.
    I would avoid it in case you get a fake. Have you watched any Youtube videos on this stuff?

    Also, one of my fave websites for designer stuff is Net a Porter. Everything is gorgeous and they do have sales.
    There is also a men's one, Mr Porter.

      Was also going to suggest Fashionphile.

      Dont expect cheap. Just cheaper than full rrp.

    My wife bought her Goyard bag from The Luxury Closet last year. No issues.

  • TheOtherLeft on 31/08/2022 - 07:51

    Just ask Roxy where she buys hers

    • cupcake on 01/09/2022 - 10:43

      Jacenko buys Hermes Birkins which can start at $50k and some are $100k or more!!

      • TheOtherLeft on 01/09/2022 - 18:05

        She just bought a $30k second hand and stores them in temperature controlled storage.

        • cupcake on 02/09/2022 - 10:59

          She doesn't lock them up like Jamie Chua does.

  • mannu0101 on 31/08/2022 - 07:53

    Try ebay, with the guaranteed authentic tick, I don’t know if it’s cheap though. It’s always very hard to buy second hand luxury if you don’t know how to differentiate them from the high quality fakes.

    Unless your partner specifically wants a vintage bag it's worth the extra to buy new. In my experience attending the stores, trying on the various bags and clothes, being offered champagne and walking out with the big orange or white bag is half the excitement for a girl getting a new luxury item. Taking her out for lunch somewhere nice and surprising her before or after that you're taking her shopping for a new bag will earn you 10x brownie points compared to just handing her a secondhand bag you've saved a few dollars with but still spent a lot on.
    Even if there's availability issues, ordering the bag and then collecting it on a later date would just extend the excitement.
    For most guys we probably prefer an item arriving on the doorstep in a cardboard box so we can avoid the shops but when buying luxury items for girls you need to think differently.

  • 82norm on 31/08/2022 - 13:05

    Will your partner mind it being second hand? Maybe you should find out if not already done so as she could be offended. I’d wouldn’t want some smelly, pre-loved bag, regardless if it’s been cleaned or not or ‘chic’. The only exemption is if it belonged to some famous A class celebrity, where you could offload it later after once your partner is bored with it so you can sell back as a profit.

    Shoot an email off to Police Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

    The resellers buy it direct from their SAs so they can mark up or they buy off collectors who want to clear your their collection.

    Maybe do a bit more research since the tier of luxury brand will make a huge difference. LVs, Gucci, etc are relatively cheap and mass produced with ready availability so you shouldn't be paying a premium on reseller market unless you pick some special combination. Chanel is a bit harder since the seasonal colours come and go, and prices go up significantly year on year for brand new retail so the reseller market goes up too. Hermes just expect to double the RRP for a BKC.

    hawkeyevintage on Instagram and on

    Instagram sales are a great chance to get a bargain, they sell a lot of vintage Chanel.
