Handbags

[Shanus]

During the promo to attact new customers, I noticed LV bags. Couldn't believe this, but checked online and a few styles are for sale...pre-owned.

I'm not interested since sold mine except for a small crossbody camera bag. Just wanted to let you know they're available.

@Shanus    Interesting.    I remember treating myself to the clsssic small satchel in the early 90s.  I think I paid $350 for it brand new at Saks Fifth Avenue only to have it stolen less than a year later.

Zulily will feature them (used) occasionally, too. I think they had them most recently within the past 2 weeks.

Dillards sells them pre-owned too.

What makes an LV bag worth all that money?

@Shanus I noticed that also. I have my two that I just love. I gave one to my mom, she loved to carry it because it was very well loved. When she passed a family member said "oh, she promised this to me" sorry but no. She had a hankie and a pair of gloves in it. They hankie is still there. I wear the gloves! I must admit, I love my never full tote. I carry it for travel. All my work stuff fits perfectly! I did check the website...phew current prices! Yikes!

@Krimpette    The products do have great endurance, so there's some of the worth but the prices are mainly a status thing.   Once a brand becomes affordable to the "sort of wealthy" those with far more money want something more exclusive.

If I were inclined to pretend, I would buy second hand.

Great question! Possibly the trendy name recognition. The leather feels like vinyl to me.

Women who willingly pay that much for them.  I have 2, received as gifts.  In my opinion they are not worth the price.

This isn't new. QVC has been offering pre-owned designer bags now for a while and it's been previously noted here, not that I'm suggesting a new thread about it was unwarranted because I'm not. Many stores over the past few years have gotten into the business of selling pre-owned high end bags. Were I to buy one, this seems like a good way to go because at least there's a bit more sense the bags are genuine and there's likely a little more recourse if there's a problem than when buying from an unknown third party seller. Of course, none of these bags (along with many other 'designer' goods) is worth the prices they command, except for the fact that they're desirable and some are willing and able to pay the freight!
