We teach you, with a guarantee of authenticity and at the best price.

From coveted vintage models, to iconic movie or TV series designs (what Sex and the City fan doesn't remember Carrie Bradshaw and her colorful Fendi Baguettes). For fashion devotees it is (almost) impossible not to have an aspirational bag in mind. Why not buy it second hand? Pros: 1. You will be able to get hold of a design that is no longer available in stores, and exclusivity is always in your favour. 2.

The price is much lower than the premiere price, but the quality and design are still there (and will continue). Cons: 1. The cost is still high but... this is when we return to the reasoning of the investment.
