His & Hers Bag Pairings: Designer Duos for Valentine’s Day

Pre-Loved Chanel For the Travel-Ready Couple

If you and your partner are the type who wait for your PTO bank to refill on January 1st to start booking those getaways, try vintage and pre-loved Chanel travel bags, because an airport can easily double as a fashion runway.

Whether you're a carry-on couple or multiple checked bags type of duo, Chanel’s vintage Sportline collection is the one for you. Crafted from ultra-durable nylon, you can rest assured that no amount of turbulence will disturb your travel essentials. Throw your extra shoes and toiletries in your man’s Sportline Boston Bag and keep your smaller essentials in a Sportline Waist Bag to ensure that once you reach your destination, you’ll be fully ready to take any adventure.

Pre-Loved Balenciaga For the Hip, City-Dwelling Couple

For the city-dwelling couple who hops from cocktail party to late night discos, Balenciaga’s City Bag collection might be the perfect late-night accessory. If logomania isn’t your thing, and you value a fashion-forward aesthetic with an edge, Balenciaga is the way to go this Valentine’s Day.

Pre-Loved Hermès For the Sporty Couple

Play ball! When we think of Hermès, sporty isn’t the first thought that comes to mind, but the French fashion house has roots in all things equestrian and riding. Over the years, Hermès has released unique and sporty collections that are perfect for the couple who take great pleasure in both sport and fashion.

The HAC Tennis 50 appeared on the sporty Spring 2010 runway and includes space for a tennis racket and all game day essentials, while the Cargo Birkin 35 has enough pockets to hold every other sporting need! Whether you’re going to the court, the field, or the trail, rest assured your sporty Hermès bags will keep your essentials safe and your style heightened.

Pre-Loved Gucci For the Collegiate Couple

School is in session and love is in the air! If you and your partner are taking classes on the same campus or value the ease of a backpack to carry your essentials, a pair of Gucci backpacks may suffice! Perfectly contrasting in style but still Gucci through and through, the masculine-edge of a pre-loved Gucci’s GG Supreme Canvas Web Backpack and the soft feminine touch of a pre-loved Pink Marmont Backpack are the perfect pairing for the studious duo.

Pre-Loved Louis Vuitton For the Fashion-Forward Couple

Time spent scrolling through vintage sites together (like What Goes Around Comes Around!) is a love language that only fashion obsessed couples speak. True grail-searchers know that discontinued and vintage Louis Vuitton collaborations are some of the most sought-after pieces in the world of vintage fashion. Louis Vuitton’s collabs with Stephen Sprouse and Takashi Murakami feature an updated take on the classic Monogram print we all know and love. Pick up iconic pre-loved vintage Speedy Bags from both collections to ensure you’re the coolest couple on the block.

Love the Planet like you Love your Partner

The best part of shopping with What Goes Around Comes Around for Valentine’s Day is having the ability to shop smartly, give your wallet a much-needed break, and make your loved one happy with new-to-them matching designer pieces. Highly desirable bags from Chanel to Gucci are ubiquitous on the resale market and are completely unique from anything found in fast fashion markets. Choosing a rare or vintage bag for your loved one will only show how much you care for them.

As we seek environmentally friendly alternatives in our day-to-day lives, one of the easiest contributions we can make is shopping vintage for our Valentine’s Day gifts. When more people shop pre-loved, the demand for new manufacturing decreases, minimizing the carbon footprint of the fashion industry. If you’re looking to gift a unique item to help your loved one stand out from the crowd and build a unique, personal style, shopping pre-loved and vintage is the only way to go. When you invest in vintage, you’re investing in older pieces that are unique to you and your partner, meaning you may be the only two rocking those discontinued Louis Vuitton bags.

Love is in the Air...and so is Vintage!

Your relationship should feel unique and special, and because there’s no one else you’d rather spend your life with, give a gift as timeless and beautiful as your love story. Vintage bags, much like you and your partner’s romance, are steeped in rich history and backstory. Vintage is special and should be treated as such. Something from the world of fast fashion simply doesn’t hold the same, special weight, like that of your romance with your partner.

When the time to exchange gifts on Valentine’s Day comes, feel confident that your special gift of matching vintage will bring unbridled joy to your partner. Not only are you keeping the planet cleaner, extending its lifespan and thusly the time you can spend with your loved one, but you're thinking with your heart. As you travel, go to class, or to date night with your matching bags in tow, the whole world will know that you’ve made a timeless bond, perfectly finished with the gift of vintage luxury.
