Our expert tips for buying smart

• Set a realistic budget - Don't forget to allow for maintenance and cleaning costs.

• Go for timeless pieces - Go for bags that are emblematic of the big names: they retain their value and never go out of fashion.

• Check the overall condition and ask for detailed photos - A lightly worn bag can be an excellent bargain, but beware of the condition of the leather, lining, hardware or corners. Read the descriptions carefully and ask for additional photos if necessary.

• Always check authenticity - Buy from certified sellers or reputable platforms

• Choose durable materials - Grained leather, Monogram or Saffiano coated canvas stand the test of time better than smooth leather or suede. A good material = greater longevity.

Why choose certified second-hand?

Whether you're aiming for a new piece, a vintage icon or a model with potential, the options are numerous. By combining authenticity, strategy and style, you're making a winning choice.
