The Best Vintage Bags to Treat Yourself to This Holiday Season
Or why not gift vintage Louis Vuitton, Dior and more to your loved ones?
The holiday season is often the most hectic month in the year, due to all the shopping and errands needing to be done. Whether you have a mile-long list of people you want to buy presents for, or if you only have a select few, there’s nothing worse than buying items that won’t last or won’t be appreciated for more than one season.

Whether you want to treat yourself to a nice piece or someone else, options from Gucci, Dior, Louis Vuitton and more are readily available, and a pre-loved piece will continue to be loved for years and years.
Peep our top picks from Vestiaire Collective below, and let us know if you’ll be shopping vintage this holiday season.
Dior Saddle Bag
The Saddle bag is perhaps one of Dior‘s most iconic silhouettes, and following its resurgence over the past two years, sites like Vestiaire Collective are full of pre-loved versions of the signature bag. Ranging from smaller monogram purses, to bigger cross-body pieces from Kim Jones‘ mens collection, you’ll be able to find a handful of options.
Price: The cheapest bags go for around $350 USD, and the most expensive are listed at $28,000 USD. Peep the options here.
Gucci Jackie Bag
Gucci brought back the Jackie bag this year, and many old goodies have started popping up since. The classic silhouette is the perfect everyday bag, sporting only a simple gold clasp at front as well as the bag’s retro-inspired shape.
Price: The cheapest options go for as little as $100 USD, which is a great price to pay for a designer bag. The most expensive piece is currently listed at approximately $9,000 USD. Check them out here.
Loewe Puzzle Bag
The Loewe Puzzle bag may be slightly newer than some of the bags on this list, but there’s no doubt that the silhouette is just as popular. If you’re on the lookout for a colorful everyday piece, it’s worth considering a Puzzle bag – especially seeing as the piece comes in several different sizes.
