Tips for Navigating the Secondhand Luxury Handbag Market

Gemini AI Pro Generated Image

The topic of luxury handbags made headline news in late December 2024 when dupes of the Hermès Birkin handbag, a notoriously expensive handbag went viral on social media. The dupes, with price points from about $80 - $100, sold by a third-party seller on the Walmart Marketplace became known as the "Wirkin" and these handbags quickly sold out.

Walmart Marketplace and Rebag

Soon after, in January 2025 Walmart and luxury handbags again made headlines. It was reported Walmart and the luxury New York based Rebag, a luxury reseller operating since 2014 would be partnering to offer secondhand luxury handbags, fine jewelry and watches on the Walmart Marketplace.

Walmart Marketplace and Luxury Reseller eLady

Of note, prior to Rebag's January 2025 announcement, shoppers were already able to buy secondhand luxury handbags on the Walmart Marketplace sold by other companies. One of these is the Tokyo based luxury reseller eLady. As of this writing, eLady has hundreds of listings on the Walmart Marketplace, including luxury brands such as Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Tiffany, among others. For example, this is an eLady listing for a Hermès Birkin

Note also there are others selling pre-owned luxury handbags on the Walmart Marketplace, including Luxclusif.

Walmart Marketplace and Rebag

Several news articles indicated the Walmart Marketplace site would feature tens of thousands of items from Rebag's inventory. However, my own observations over the past week suggest the actual number of listings is currently somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000. This discrepancy is understandable considering the partnership is a few weeks old.

Rebag's offerings on Walmart Marketplace include handbags from the brands Chanel, Louis Vuitton Gucci, Dior and Hermès, among others. Interestingly only one Hermès Birkin is listed! On the other hand, the Hermès' handbag style named Eveylne looked to have the most number of listings, with about 35.

While Rebag has partnered with other retailers in the past and it sells on other platforms, its latest collaboration with Walmart is making headlines due to the unexpected pairing of a luxury reseller with a mass-market retailer.

Bloomingdale's and Rebag

In August 2024 Bloomingdale's and Rebag started a partnership to sell Rebag's pre-owned

luxury handbags, (including small leather goods) and accessories on the Bloomingdale's website. Link to website: https://tinyurl.com/hpbys8mj

The partnership also includes Rebag store-within-a store in these Bloomingdales' stores

Name of Shopping Center /Mall	City and State
Boca Raton Town Center	Boca Raton, Florida
Fashion Valley, San Diego	San Diego, California
Sherman Oaks Fashion Square	Sherman Oaks, California
The Mall at Short Hills	Short Hills, New Jersey
A Bloomingdale's Standalone Location	White Plains, New York

Per Rebag's August 8, 2024 press release,"The partnership includes a meticulously curated selection of over 2,500 designer handbags, watches, and fine jewelry, available online at Bloomingdales.com and over 500 items in five select Bloomingdale's stores nationwide."

It also states:"The items bought and sold by Rebag at Bloomingdale's and on Bloomingdales.com will be focused solely on select ultra high-end pieces including handbags, watches, and fine jewelry."

My recent review of Rebag's listings on Bloomingdale's website shows a little over 2,200 items, with about 1,700 handbags and small leather goods and 475 jewelry and accessories items, including 86 watches.

The handbag and small leather goods brands are limited to the following five brands shown in the table below. Given the August 8, 2024 press release mentioning "it will be focused on select ultra high end pieces" it is surprising there are not any Chanel listings.

Also interesting is the inclusion of the Bvlgari and Teflar brands. Both have relatively low price points listed, compared with what is typically considered ultra luxury. Yet, in terms of including Teflar on the Bloomingdale's site, it makes sense as a Bloomingdale's customer could also be a Teflar customer. Teflar, is a genderless brand and the designer won the CFDA Fashion Award for American Accessories Designer of the Year in 2020 and 2021.

Searching for a Particular Louis Vuitton Bag

Dropdown Menu in Rebag Section on Walmart Marketplace

While reviewing the Rebag listings on

the Walmart Marketplace, I decided to look for a particular Louis Vuitton bag, the Sac Plat Cross Bag Limited Edition Wild Animals Damier Graphite.

Compared to dedicated luxury resale platforms with advanced search capabilities, the Walmart Marketplace falls short in this regard.

For example, when in the Brand Tab, clicking on Louis Vuitton and then the Handbag Type, the only option listed is Hobo. The Handbag Type option needs to be improved and expanded as the types of Louis Vuitton handbags on the Walmart Marketplace include totes, pouches, backpacks, messenger bags and wallets, and more.

Since I was unable to locate the Louis Vuitton bag noted above, I decided to search for it on other platforms, specifically on Rebag and other partner platforms.

The next place I looked was on Bloomingdales.com and saw Rebag does not include the Louis Vuitton brand on Bloomingdales.com so I then moved on.

Rebag Sells on Multiple Platforms

Keep in mind it's easy to assume you are comparing apples to apples when browsing similar styles, but that's not always the case. Luxury brands may update their designs over time. If the seller doesn't specify the bag's production year or date code, and if photos of key details like hardware, and date code are missing, you might be looking at different versions of the same style. Also, remember that many styles come in different sizes, so always check the measurements.

Rebag Sells on Multiple Platforms

While searching for the Louis Vuitton Sac Plat Cross Bag Limited Edition Wild Animals Damier Graphite, I reviewed Rebag ad the other platforms where Rebag sells, and assumed the bag is the same on each platform. In other words, I'm searching under the assumption

I'm comparing apples with apples. These are the factors I considered:

• Price

• Shipping Cost

• Condition of Handbag

• Returns Policy

Rebag

The Louis Vuitton bag was easy to search for on the Rebag website. The most striking point about the listing is that the bag could be purchased for two different prices.

The higher price is, $3,165 and the lower price is $3,007. The lower price, a reduction of $158 is available if the purchaser is a Rebag + Member. With this membership, shipping and returns are free.

If the shopper is not a member, shipping is $20 and returns are $75. The Rebag + membership fee is a minimum monthly fee of $50 and it includes other benefits in addition to the lower price of the handbag. Be sure to read the "fine print" and of course ask the Company questions before joining Link: https://tinyurl.com/yu9y4ecz

The condition of the bag is listed as "Great" the third of six condition categories Rebag assigns to handbags. Condition details are described further and it notes the interior has a perfume odor. Not a pleasant thought!

Benefits of Rebag + Membership

After clicking on "Add to Cart" the following section appears. This page, with two columns on the top section shows the two prices and lists the Rebag+ benefits, such as early access to sales and if selling a bag to Rebag, you could earn up to 5% more.

The lower half of this section asks if this bag is to be purchased by paying with a trade. If a trade is included, the shopper needs to provide information and photos of the item and it needs to be shipped to Rebag within 24 hours.

A selling point of this trade feature appears to be that selling an item and purchasing a new one at the same time will end up with the buyer paying only the difference. The downside is if the buyer receives a lower price for the bag once Rebag inspects it in person than anticipated and needs to pay more for the bag than originally thought.

When considering a trade, be sure to carefully read the information and ask your questions to Rebag. Link: https://tinyurl.com/yjx953w5

Rebag has the Louis Vuitton bag I'm looking for. However, I'm unsure whether to buy it as a Rebag+ member or make a one-time purchase. Membership has its perks, like credit towards future purchases, but it also comes with a monthly fee.

Another concern is the perfume odor mentioned in the listing. I'm not sure a charcoal odor absorber would completely eliminate the scent, and I'm hesitant to buy the bag without knowing for sure if I can fix that issue.

I then decided to see if the bag would be less expensive on another platform.

thredUP and Rebag

The Rebag x thredUP partnership was announced in November 2023. The collaboration allows customers to resell their items on thredUP for Rebag credit and shop a selection of Rebag’s inventory directly on thredUP's site.

The Louis Vuitton bag is listed on thredUP. Differences between the listing on thredUP and Rebag are price, shipping fees, condition and return policy, so there is lots to compare! For example, buying this bag on the Rebag website as a Rebag+ member, it would be $292 less and if not a member the price is $134 less, plus $20 shipping. thredUP includes free shipping.

It's worth noting that thredUP and Rebag have different condition rating systems. thredUP uses a four-tier system and has rated this bag as 'Excellent' (their highest rating). Rebag, with a six-tier system, lists it as 'Great' (their third-highest rating). This discrepancy warrants further investigation to understand the actual condition of the bag. Reading the detailed descriptions would be helpful; yet it is understandable if a potential buyer would have concerns. Please refer to the table at the end of this post for comparison details.

eBay and Rebag

According the information posted on eBay, Rebag has been a member of eBay since 2013. This is interesting as on its own website, Rebag notes it was founded in 2014. eBay lists this bag for $190 more than buying it on the Rebag platform if not being a Rebag+ member. eBay offers free shipping; but returns are not allowed.

Louis Vuitton Listing on eBay

Note though, eBay has a promotion until January 28, 2025 for this bag, 15% off, up to a maximum of $500. Since 15% of the price of this bag is $503, the total amount of the coupon could be applied, and the bag would cost $2,855.

eBay wins on price and has free shipping, though returns are not allowed. While the price is higher on the Rebag platform, it allows returns, so you'll need to weigh your priorities. Please refer to the chart at the end of this post for comparison details.

Limited Time eBay 15% Coupon

ShopStyle and Rebag

ShopStyle, the fashion search engine owned by Rakuten, includes Rebag on its platform. The Louis Vuitton bag was found by using the search bar. Once the bag was located, ShopStyle refers the shopper to the Rebag website. Since ShopStyle partners with thousands of companies, it draws significant traffic and therefore makes sense for Rebag to have this option to attract customers.

Conclusion

Shopping for a pre-loved luxury bag with Rebag can be time consuming as there are a number of factors to consider. It is possible, depending on the bag, the shopper's priorities can change. For instance, if you are willing to take a risk and know returns are not allowed, you might opt for the lowest price seller, which might not be Rebag, but one of its partners.

In this particular case, based on price, eBay wins, though it is due to it having a limited time 15% promotion. The Rebag + option is also attractive as it has the lowest price for this bag when the eBay promotion expires and provides free shipping and free returns. However, the membership fee might be off putting.

Don't forget that walking away is always an option! If the perfume odor is a deal-breaker, it might be wiser to keep searching for a similar bag in better condition.

Everyone has different priorities when it comes to buying a pre-loved luxury bag.

The table below summarizes the key differences between the listings mentioned above, but ultimately, the best choice depends on your individual needs and preferences. What matters most to you?

BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY WITH A PRE-LOVED LUXURY YELLOW WALLET

If you are like me, I've had a lifelong love affair with black wallets and my handbags are full of black small leather goods (SLG's) and it takes me some time to dig through my bags to find these daily essentials. And given that winter in New York City has me feeling like I need a dose of warmth and sunshine, I decided to look for a wallet or a small leather good in a shade of yellow.

As you know from previous posts, I'm enthusiastic about pre-loved so I decided to search for this on pre-loved sites and I found a few options shown below. This search differs and takes more time when compared with buying something new from a traditional retailer such as Bloomingdale's or a fashion brand's shop such as Tory Burch.

Finding the perfect item, in this case a wallet or SLG requires these points to be considered:

• Description

• Condition

• Authenticity

• Shipping and other fees

• Return policy

• Other considerations

Yet, the extra effort often could lead to unique and special finds. Once you get the hang of these platforms, you might find yourself preferring this way of shopping!

For purchase at The RealReal

Courrèges's Leather Graphic Print Coin Pouch is for sale on the The RealReal website. Courrèges was well known in the 1960’s and 1970's for its geometric cuts, plastic materials and minimalistic aesthetic and once again is gaining in popularity. In November 2024 the brand and the Nordstrom New York City store had an exclusive 10 piece pop-up with ready-to-wear, shoes and accessories. (Nordstrom continues selling the brand with nearly 100 items on its website.)

Considerations about this coin purse:

Courrèges Leather Graphic Print Coin Pouch	Comments
Description includes	3 photos, composition, hardware, dustbag and measurements.
Condition	Excellent (2nd highest of 6 conditions) Comment No visible signs of wear.
Authenticity	Has link to The RealReal's authentication process.
Shipping and other fees	$14.95 (3-5 business days) $39.95 (Express:1-2 business days)
Return policy	$14.95. Need to fill out a form and meet return requirements. Note: The RealReal has a somewhat complicated return policy. For items such as handbags, very few exceptions permitted to be returned. However, for an additional fee, buyer can purchase “Return Guarantee,” allowing the item to be returned for any reason, including the below: Change your mind. Item doesn’t fit as you had intended. Simply don’t like the item.
Other considerations	Review the return policy for each item you are planning to buy on The RealReal. Though not deceptive, it is not straight forward and requires time to take in.

Price: $196 (20% Off) from $245. The 20% off is a discount from The RealReal's initial listing and is not the discount from when the item was originally new. Note: The day before publishing this post, the price was $208.

For purchase at FASHIONPHILE

Fashionphile includes this

Christian Dior Cannage Small

Lady Dior Voyageur Coin Purse. Just looking at the quilted bright yellow shade of this small leather good takes the chill out of January!

Considerations about this coin purse:

Christian Dior Cannage Small Lady Dior Voyageur Coin Purse	Comments
Description includes	8 photos, composition, hardware, charm, dustbag, measurements, partitioned with card slots, the year, 2022. Notes 1. The charm is not clearly shown in the photos. The Dior website has a clear image of the charm on the item available in different colors. The Dior site does not offer this item in yellow. - An extra step, going to another website was required to get the full view of the item, and assume these are identical. 2. The year is not included for all FASHIONPHILE listings.
Condition	Excellent (2nd best of 5 conditions) Comment Exterior: Edge wear Interior: Scuffs Hardware: Faint scratch(es)
Authenticity	Includes FASHIONPHILE Certificate of Authenticity.
Shipping and other fees	Free standard shipping (3-5 business days)
Return policy	Options 1. Pre-paid with UPS shipping label.provided by FASHIONPHILE ($14.99) 2. Use your own shipping method (at your own cost). 3. Return at the nearest FASHIONPHILE location/Selling Studio (Free). - See box below for more information.
Other considerations	Returns - Item must be returned to FASHIONPHILE within 15 days of the shipped date. Note: Company also has an excessive return policy. For those who purchase 10 items or more within a 6-month period and maintain a 70% or greater return rate, an automatic 10% restocking fee calculated as 10% of the sales price of the item being returned is assessed.

Price: $450 30% Off Est. Retail $640

Link: https://tinyurl.com/uez3t6zt

Important caveat: While the FASHIONPHILE listing states this is a 30% discount from the estimated retail price of $640, I found a key difference. When I searched for this item as "new" on the Dior website, they had the style and the $640 price, but it was not available in yellow. This highlights why you need to be cautious when comparing items on resale sites with new items, as there can be subtle differences or variations. Always double-check the details and do your research before assuming a resale item is identical to something currently sold in stores.

For purchase at Vestiaire Collective

Vestiaire Collective, a peer-to-peer resale platform which has an authentication process posts this lovely Hermès Constance Slim leather wallet. The color is listed as Juane de Naples, which in a number of articles I've come across describes this color as a warm vibrant yellow.

Yet, when looking at the listing's cover photo, the wallet appears somewhat green. (Refer to image posted here.)

This difference in what the photo shows and what one believes the color is thought to be highlights the importance of reviewing all photos before making a purchase on these sites. When I looked at the seven other photos, I saw the wallet is actually a true yellow, which, to me, looks much more inviting than the cover photo and matches with what the color has been described as being.

Considerations about this coin purse:

Hermès Constance Slim leather wallet.	Comments
Description includes	6 photos, composition, measurements, comes with all original packaging and receipt, measurements, seller located in the United States. When clicked on Seller icon shows had 21 sales and 14 items available for sale. Notes Physical authentication included.

The item will be relisted at the purchase price and only a handling fee will be deducted. - Within 72 hours of receiving your order, relisting your item is free of charge. You’ll keep 100% of your earnings from the sale. After 72 hours but within 14 days of receiving your order, there is a small processing fee for relisting your item 🔍 processing fee. This fee is lower than our usual selling fee. - Items purchased from a professional seller are eligible for return.
Other considerations	Notes This is a peer-to-peer platform and for the item to be authenticated the seller ships the item to one of the Company's authentication locations. After authentication the item is shipped to the buyer. Hence, delivery will be longer when compared with other platforms that have the inventory on hand and will ship within a few days.

Price: $3,334

Buyer Fees

This fee ranges between 13% and 25%. Below is a screen shot from the company's website presenting what the buyer service fee covers.

The potential advantages of shopping on Vestiaire Collective include the wide assortment of products and brands and access to authentication (though for another check, you might want to have it authenticated by a company specializing in authentication such as LegitGrails ). The potential disadvantages include fees can be relatively high and returns are not permitted, with the exception being if the seller is a professional seller. (An application with details about your company are required to be accepted as a professional seller.)

For purchase at Farfetch Pre-Owned

Farfetch, a global luxury marketplace, in its Pre-Owned Tab includes this Chanel 2020s CC wallet. During my search I

found other resale platforms sell this wallet and have their own names for this wallet. Possibly the name differs as the one they are selling was manufactured in different years. Yet, on the surface they all look to be the same wallet. Just something to consider when comparison shopping. You don't know if what you are comparing are truly identical.

Reseller	Style Name	Price	Shipping
Farfetch	Chanel 2020s CC wallet.	$1,294	Free (includes duties)
LUX LAIR	Chanel Yellow Leather Wallet (Tri-Fold)	$1,633	Free (3-5 business days) Option for quicker shipping with higher cost
eBay Seller in Japan	Chanel Matelasse Compact Wallet Trifold	$1,401	$40.90 (plus duties)

Considerations about this wallet:

Chanel 2020s CC wallet	Comments
Description includes	6 photos, composition, measurements, hardware, approximate date (circa 2020's.)
Condition	Excellent (3rd out of 5 conditions) Comment includes: This previously owned item is in near-perfect condition with no signs of damage or use.

"Our offering is expertly curated by the best luxury fashion brands and boutiques around the globe and all our items are guaranteed authentic."
Shipping and other fees	Free
Return policy	Free. Accepted within 30 days, starting from the day your order was delivered. Must adhere to return policies.
Other considerations	Only minimal information about pre-owned items found. Unable to locate information about authentication of the pre-owned items. If I were close to buying this wallet, I would have contacted Farfetch with my questions about this topic.

Price: $1,522 (less 10%) = $1,294 Import duties included. The 10% off is a discount from Farfetch's initial listing and is not the discount from when the item was originally new.

Link: https://tinyurl.com/uhm9z65f

Conclusion My research on pre-owned sites for a yellow wallet resulted in a nice collection of choices, and I l took in lots of key points to consider. However, I haven't weighted each point to reach a purely rational decision. Instead, I'll be trusting my gut and going with the wallet that truly speaks to me, with objective factors like condition, price, and authenticity supporting my decision. Of course, any of these beauties might be snapped up before I decide, so stay tuned to see which one wins my heart (and wallet)!

A Word of Caution While buying from resellers can be a great way to find unique pieces or save money, it is important to be aware of the potential risks. This post does not drill down to all the ins-and-outs of each type of purchase. Always do your research on the seller, carefully examine the item's description and photos. Don't hesitate to ask the seller questions about the item's condition, authenticity, and other details that are important to you.

VALENTINE'S DAY FASHIONS: FIVE TIMELESS STYLES TO WEAR YEAR-ROUND

Gemini AI pro generated image with Photoroom generated background

While hearts aren't usually my thing, even on Valentine's Day, I confess a certain weakness for designs that whisper rather than shout—pieces that offer year-round versatility. I recently came across some heart-themed fashions that perfectly embodies this approach, and I'd be comfortable wearing them any day of the year. What do you think of these?

Yvonne Léon, a Parisian jewelry designer with two stores in Paris and a shop-in-shop at Liberty London (opened in November 2024), is a new jewelry brand for me. Stockists in the United States include Bloomingdale's and Kith. Her designs are not showy; rather they have unexpected features, such as the shape of the bangle bracelet shown here.

This two-tone bracelet, named the Jonc Coeur Torsade Ridged Heart Bangle Bracelet is a made of 9k karat yellow and white gold. I've rarely come across jewelry made of

9 karat gold. It is typically a cost effective option with lower gold content compared to higher karat golds like 14k or 18k. Yet, this bracelet really isn't cheap, priced at close to $3,000. However, it is a beauty and is available in two other patterns, one is ridged with yellow gold only and the other option is polished yellow gold.

Price: $2,940

Paul Smith, the British designer known for traditional men's suits with bold linings and his Signature Stripe that is found on a wide range of men's and women's fashions and accessories offers this lovely heart locket silk scarf.

Imagine this vibrant 35" X35" silk scarf transforming a simple black dress. Striking for sure!

Price: $195

Link: https://tinyurl.com/3tufsfh8

L'AGENCE, on its website describes itself as:"where the easy-chic feel of Southern California meets a Parisian sensibility. The Company is known for its denim, chic jackets and and beautiful silk blouses.

It also has a footwear collection, featuring mules, pumps and platforms in a variety of heel heights and fabrications that adds the perfect finishing touch to their outfits.

L'AGENCE sells through stores such as Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's as well as its own boutiques in the United States, along with one in Paris and one in Seoul.

This slim cut t-shirt with a fun lipstick print and accented with love notes in French is named the Ressi style. Wear it anyday!

Price: $115

Monica Rich Kosaan, renowned for her vintage-inspired lockets and charm necklaces, also offers a stunning collection of heart-shaped jewelry. Heart shaped lockets are available in 18K gold and sterling silver.

Yet, what caught my eye is this elegant red carnelian heart necklace with rubies. It is also available in different colors, made of these: sodalite, black agate and mother of pearl, along with the more traditional gold and diamond hearts.. This striking red heart is of course a great choice for Valentine's Day and any other day too!

Price: $1,895 (With chain; $1,400 without chain)

Link: https://tinyurl.com/46f7dp8w

Cinq à Sept, the fashion clothing company that has been in business for about eight years announced the launch in June 2024 and began selling its footwear line in November 2024. Based on a review of its website there are about nine styles and some of them are available in more than one color / fabrication.

The Martine block heel pump shown here, in cardinal leather with a heel of about a 1.75 inches, round toes and leather soles has a cut out heart detail up both sides of the shoe. The shoe definitely has a Valentine's Day feel. However, the design is not over the top and the hearts add whimsy while walking. It is also available in black leather with ivory hearts. Additionally, there is a similar style with a stiletto heel, the Margot Pump, with a 3.4 inch heel. Any of these options are gorgeous!

Price: $385

Forget waiting for February 14th! These versatile designs can be incorporated into your wardrobe today and enjoyed long after Valentine's Day has passed.
