The Insider Report: Most Wanted Designer Gifts of the Season
Best-Selling Luxury Gifts That Will Last a Lifetime
When we wake up every morning, we’re left to accomplish perhaps the most important aspect of our day: putting together an outfit. When we reach into our (hopefully) perfectly organized wardrobe to create our look – all depending on the weather, season, or our overall mood – we have to take into account: jewelry, scarves, and our personal favorite: the bag. For some, it’s a simple nylon backpack that gets the job done, or a leather briefcase with files and paperwork strewn throughout the interior. Our handbags, totes, belt bags, whatever they may be, should bring us joy and happiness, and should be the final touch to get us through our day-to-day activities. A vintage designer handbag from heritage brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Hermès can perfectly accent your look and bring you unmitigated joy while doing so.
Not only is the quality of these luxury accessories top-tier, but they’re also heirloom-worthy pieces that can be passed through generations. Styles from the aforementioned brands are best sellers for a reason: they will last a lifetime thanks to their beautiful craftsmanship, and more than anything, they’re stylish finishing pieces that will elevate any and every look you choose to pair them with.

The Icons You Can’t Go Wrong With
The Birkin Bag
When Jane Birkin discussed her need for a sizeable weekender silhouette, Jean-Louis Dumas of Hermès got to work designing the perfect bag for her needs, and in 1984, we were introduced to the Birkin bag, which would quickly become the most coveted bag in history. Birkin’s original prototype was recently sold at auction for over $10 million. Skip the in-store waitlist and pick up the most iconic bag in history from our covetable pre-owned and vintage collection!
The Boy Bag
Karl Lagerfeld introduced the Boy Bag silhouette in 2011; a collection of bags steeped in unrequited love and French history. The Boy Bag collection drew inspiration from Coco Chanel’s lover, Boy Capel. The structured silhouette and square ‘CC’ closure make this bag edgy and fashionable. Over the years, it has become a modern classic, coveted by fashion insiders and celebrities alike. With its mix of bold hardware and versatile leather options, the Boy Bag seamlessly goes from day to night.
The Neverfull Tote
The Neverfull Tote was introduced in 2007 and became an instant classic for Louis Vuitton. Not only is the bag Louis Vuitton’s best seller (and one of ours for that matter), but it’s also one of the most recognizable silhouettes in fashion history. Thanks to its simple design and durability, the bag has been released in a multitude of styles and has been featured in an array of collections. Neverfull Totes from Louis Vuitton’s collaborations with Stephen Sprouse are some of the most sought-after pieces on the resale market and instantly sell out when made available.
The Lady Dior Bag
In September 1995, Princess Diana traveled to the Grand Palais in Paris where the First Lady of France gifted Diana with a Dior bag that had not yet been released. Introduced by then-creative director Gianfranco Ferré and originally named the Chou Chou, the bag was officially renamed the Lady Dior in 1996. Revered for its timeless elegance and signature quilted design, the Lady Dior remains a symbol of sophistication and style for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike. Add a touch of royalty to your wardrobe with a pre-owned or vintage Lady Dior bag straight from our iconic curation.
The Printed Silk Scarf
Dive into our curated collection of pre-owned and vintage Hermès scarves. These scarves are collectible pieces of art, with each style designed by Hermès artisans, making them the perfect gift as there is truly a style for everyone. Tie one around your neck, through your hair, or around the handles of your favorite pre-loved designer handbag.
The Luggage Tote
Introduced in 2010, Celine’s creative director Phoebe Philo created the Luggage Tote to put Celine back on the map and did it ever. It flew off the shelves faster than Celine could stock it, resulting in waitlists that spanned months. The staple style became an “It” bag for the house and remains an iconic silhouette that’s representative of heritage and style.
The Saint-Louis Tote
A perfect companion to Louis Vuitton’s Neverfull, Goyard’s Saint-Louis Tote is one of the most recognizable bags in fashion history. With its striking Goyardine chevron-coated canvas and minimalist design, it’s no wonder the silhouette is so highly sought-after.
The Classic Double Flap Bag
The epitome of luxury, Chanel’s iconic Flap bag was originally released in 1955 when Coco Chanel was tired of carrying her purse by hand. Karl Lagerfeld would update the silhouette, introducing the world to the Double Flap silhouette we all know, love, and desire.
