New Addiction: Buying Vintage
Buying vintage designer bags has become more and more popular these days. People tend to turn to secondhand for multiple reasons; let it be the quality of the items or the price. And for those who still haven't made to switch to buying preloved items, today we'll explain why vintage is better.
Unique Items
Better quality
We know that when it comes to designer bags, we mostly pay attention to how they look. However, it's also important to check the materials the bag is made off and if the bag is going to last for a long time.
For instance, one of the reasons why people prefer vintage Chanel bags is because the hardware is made of 24K gold, which they stopped using in 2008. Not only do they prefer it because of its better quality, but also because new Chanel bags are more expensive despite not having gold-plated hardware.
Good for the environment
Nowadays it's very important for everyone to contribute to keeping the planet as clean as we can. And luckily, the second-hand market is the perfect place to shop while being more conscious of the environment.
By giving a second use to an item that otherwise would've been thrown away, you're also reducing the number of materials and resources that are used to make a new item. You get a gorgeous preloved designer item while helping saving the planet. A win-win for everyone!
Have your own style
If you're tired of seeing everyone wearing the same clothes and accessories, wearing vintage is the perfect solution to stand out. Not only are you wearing a rare designer bag (or even one that it's not made anymore), but you're also making a statement about your fashion style.
Clothing and accessories are the best way to portray your personality, so go ahead and show the world that you're unique with your vintage designer bag.
