Quality pays off in the truest sense of the word. The second-hand market for designer bags is growing rapidly - we have the best shopping tips for Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci & Co.

Despite the crisis, the U.S. is reporting record growth in the fashion industry: And that applies to the second-hand market, which is already growing by double-digit percentages per year. The run on &quot;good old Chanel&quot; and its ilk continue unabated. No wonder, because here you can finally get hold of those special editions that were once out of print or call a classic your own.&nbsp;

This pays off not only for sellers, but also resellers, who are now far away from musty second-hand boutiques on the Internet. If you don&#39;t feel safe on eBay and other platforms and are afraid of buying a fake by mistake, you&#39;re in safe hands with vintage platforms like Vestiaire Collective. Re-sellers often offer a second check by an in-house team that is very familiar with serial numbers, ID cards, and specific brand characteristics.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="http://vestiairecollective.com">Vestiaire Collective</a> now dominates the international secondhand market. Based in Paris, the company has become a sought-after platform within ten years, offering everything from Herm&egrave;s to Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci that the fashion and bag heart desires. Here you can not only get hold of your new favorite treasures as a buyer, but you can also sell them again.&nbsp;

For those who don&#39;t want to do the packing and communication with portentous buyers themselves, they can rely on Vestiaire Collective&#39;s Parisian &quot;concierge service.&quot;&nbsp;

Incidentally, the reseller is so successful that it will even go public as part of a SPACS at the end of May. This marks a milestone. So far, no other company in the luxury category has managed to become listed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A collection edited by fashion influencers? No problem! Exclusivity is the motto at Rebag. For this purpose, there are selected pieces recommended by celebrities such as Nicky Hilton or Bryan Boy.

In other words, here you can find bags, accessories, jewelry from <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/tags/balenciaga">Balenciaga</a>, Boucheron, <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/Jewellery-and-Watches/the-panthere-de-cartier-collection-by-cartier">Cartier</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/tags/versace">Versace</a>.&nbsp;

Using a special image recognition technology with artificial intelligence called &quot;Clair,&quot; the price can be evaluated immediately at Rebag. The portal also asks its sellers to tell a short &quot;life story&quot; about the product.&nbsp;

4.&nbsp;kamiempire &ndash; Preloved Luxus Handbags

She explained to L&#39;OFFICIEL Austria what sets her apart from other resellers and vintage stores online: &quot;The impeccable condition of the bags is particularly important to me. In this process, they are refurbished, cleaned, receive polishing, and then arrive at the customer&#39;s door in beautiful packaging with an ironed dust bag.&quot;&nbsp;

With her unique service, Linhart has already built a loyal clientele here who eagerly await her latest bags. &quot;Once I even sold out within four minutes!&quot; she says enthusiastically. The returning clientele proves her right.&nbsp;
