So, Where Can You Buy Vintage Gucci, Dior and Prada Bags?
Good question — here are 6 best sites to shop them.
The year is 2019, but curiously many are dressed more and more like their ’90s style icons these days. Some are even revisiting throwback fashion trends from the 2000s that we all thought would be best if left in the past. After dad shoes, scrunchies, bucket hats and tiny sunglasses became some of the hottest fashion items in the past two years, capri pants and biker shorts are now having a moment. Naturally, the interest in vintage designer bags have also grown considerably among millennials and Gen Zers. From Fendi‘s Zucca print and Dior‘s signature branding, to Gucci‘s house monogram and Prada‘s classic, inverted triangle logo plate, retro purses are all over Instagram.
So, where can you find these old luxury handbags? The easy answer would be your mother’s closet. Those drawers of hers are like treasure troves full of archival designs you can no longer find in stores. You’ll just have to rummage them for your dream bag, and hope that your mom doesn’t notice it’s gone missing — we’re just kidding.
For those who prefer a less sneaky route, we’ve rounded up a list of the six best stores to shop designer bags online. Read on to learn where we get our second-hand goods.
