Why Buy Pre-Owned Designer Handbags

Pre-owned luxury handbags offer access to coveted designs, discontinued colors, and limited editions that can be difficult, or impossible, to obtain at retail. In many cases, pre-owned pricing reflects fair market value based on condition, rarity, and demand, creating attractive opportunities for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

Buying pre-owned is also a mindful choice. Extending the life of a handbag through responsible resale supports a more sustainable approach to luxury, allowing iconic pieces to be enjoyed and appreciated for years to come.

Every handbag at The 1916 Company is independently authenticated and guaranteed by Entrupy and reviewed by our in-house specialists. We examine stitching, embossing, hardware, date codes or microchips, interior structure, and brand-specific hallmarks to ensure each piece meets our standards for authenticity and quality.

Condition is clearly documented with detailed imagery and written descriptions, covering corners, handles, interior, hardware, and overall structure. Clients can shop confidently knowing they are viewing accurate representations of each handbag's state before making a purchase.
