The Advantages of Purchasing A Pre-Owned Handbag

When shopping for a luxury handbag in Tustin, the most obvious choice is often to go to a designer’s boutique. If you want a new Chanel handbag, then the logical place to start would be at a Chanel store. But did you know that Watch and Wares has a full selection of designer handbags from prestigious luxury brands like Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Saint Laurent, Hermès, and more? We buy and sell pre-loved handbags that are in excellent condition, allowing you to enjoy the luxury handbag experience without the drawbacks that can come with it.

The first and most obvious reason to purchase a pre-loved luxury handbag is as a cost-saving move. Depending on the brand, as well as the handbag’s age and condition, a customer can save anywhere from ten to seventy percent when compared to purchasing a brand-new handbag. Similar to cars, most types of handbags depreciate in value over time after their purchase. Of course, this doesn’t mean that a bag that you purchase from us is low-quality or poorly looked after. At Watch and Wares, we inspect all luxury handbags that are brought to us to ensure their authenticity and that they are worth putting on our shelves. It also helps us make sure that we offer a fair price when we sell them. 

Another good reason to consider purchasing a pre-loved handbag is if you are looking for discontinued or hard-to-find styles. Luxury designer brands often produce limited edition runs that have certain features or stylings which can never be purchased first-hand again after the production run finishes. This means you’ll have to search through the pre-loved market if you want to have a chance of finding one for yourself. You may also discover a vintage handbag that you desire that could never be found on a retail store’s shelves today. 

Another good reason to consider purchasing pre-loved luxury handbags is for the opportunity to compare multiple brands at the same time. While some shoppers set foot in a store knowing immediately what they’re seeking, many others enjoy the browsing process and the chance to be surprised by something they had never considered before. Because Watch and Wares offers luxury handbags from multiple designer brands, you can compare different looks and styles side-by-side in person, rather than having to browse the Internet or visit multiple stores. 

Environmental conservation has become a hot-button topic for the fashion industry in recent years, especially for luxury brands. Every new bag produced requires that more metal, leather, stitching, and fabric is extracted from the environment, and this requirement will only grow greater as more consumers enter the market for luxury handbags. If you purchase a pre-owned luxury handbag, however, you will be using resources that have already been extracted from the environment, allowing you to be eco-friendly and sustainable while still enjoying a beautiful handbag. 

At Watch and Wares, you can buy and sell pre-loved handbags from some of the top fashion brands in the industry like Chanel, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Fendi, and more. Our knowledgeable and friendly sales staff can help you pick out the perfect luxury handbag for your style or offer you a free estimate on any that you might wish to sell. We also offer handbag spas to repair and restore your favorite accessories.
