So why are so many people buying pre-loved designer pieces? The perfect solution to the bills vs shopping conundrum is buying at auction.

In a similar way to the watch market, it’s all about the brand name and condition. The more prestigious the maker the better the retention of value, especially if the brand in question runs waiting lists for their top bags. It may be that pre-owned is the only way to buy some bags without having to fight your way onto an exclusive list and wait for months or more. Of course there is an understanding that pre-owned can never be new, but we like to pretend – in which case marks stains and scuffs will all reduce the amount buyers will pay. Original boxes and dust bags, on the other hand, help the illusion of newness and so add to desirability.

Unlike the large faceless internet corporations, auction houses are relatively small and accessible, with specialists that are passionate about their subject. If you have any doubts or queries before bidding, just give them a call. Make sure you do this well in advance as a detailed request on the morning of the auction may be impossible to fulfill.

It is easy to become hooked on auctions. There is something about the competitive human spirit that makes an object won feel better than the same object bought. Leaving aside the fact that you will often pay less, it is the element of out-bidding someone that provides the satisfaction. Of course, you can’t win them all, but you can be sure in the knowledge that you forced your competitor to pay more than you would have done.
