Luxury handbags are increasingly being viewed as collectible assets, with iconic designs from houses such as Hermès and Chanel commanding remarkable demand on the secondary market. Now S&R Jewellers, the established luxury pre-owned jewellery seller, known for its expertise in high-value branded jewellery, watches and luxury assets, has announced the launch of a curated pre-owned handbag service allowing clients to buy and sell exceptional designer pieces.
For many years the company has been a leading buyer and seller of the most sought-after jewellery and watch pieces, giving its specialists extensive experience in the authentication and valuation of high-end accessories. Building on that expertise, the business will now offer clients the opportunity to both acquire and realise value from some of the most sought-after handbags in the world.
The service will focus on highly desirable pieces from leading luxury houses including Hermès, Louis Vuitton and Chanel – whose Birkin, Kelly and Classic Flap designs have become icons of modern luxury, while also handling handbags from a wide range of prestigious brands across the international fashion market.
Each handbag is carefully authenticated and assessed by the company’s specialists, ensuring that clients can buy and sell with confidence. The new offering reflects the growing strength of the secondary luxury market, where rare, vintage and limited-edition handbags continue to attract collectors and investors alike.
Jim Tannahill, Managing Director, said: “Over the past decade we have seen a clear shift in how clients view luxury handbags. Pieces from houses such as Hermès and Chanel are no longer simply fashion accessories, instead becoming increasingly regarded as collectible assets in the same way as fine watches or jewellery. People have become much more discerning. They’re no longer simply looking for a bargain – they’re looking for confidence. Whether someone is buying a Rolex, a diamond ring or a Chanel handbag, they want to know it’s genuine, accurately described and priced. That’s exactly the expertise we’ve built our business on.”
The new designer handbag service is available immediately through S&R Jewellers with clients access our service both in person at its London showrooms as well as online.
