The gifting season is upon us! Understandably, some of us may be more excited than others. If you’re dreading the thought of Christmas shopping then let us help you. Our Head of Handbags, Nicola, has curated a selection of items from our latest Handbags auction, all of which had estimates under £100. If you have a fashionista in your life who is after a designer gift, but you’re worried about the cost, buying second-hand may be the perfect option for you. Not only can you find one-of-a-kind pieces for a fraction of their original price, but you can also make a positive impact on the environment by reducing waste. Buying second-hand designer items is a great way to add unique or vintage pieces to your wardrobe while being environmentally conscious and cost-effective. An auction is a fantastic way to source second-hand and vintage designers. We have a team of authenticators at your disposal to ensure our lots are the best value they can be, and are genuine. You can bid confidently knowing that our team are here and happy to support you in any way they can. Happy bidding! Handbags Under £100 First up: handbags. What look is complete without a bag?
