I was inspired by you and created a list called: Bags to buy in 20 years. From time to time I add bags that are too trendy at the moment but will gladly pay 300$-400$ for them later, like a Gucci marmont velvet bag. 💕
Thanks so much Mel! I just bought a vintage bag from the early 1990s that I couldn’t afford when it originally came out in the 90s. It was so satisfying being able to finally add it to my collection.
I found a denim YSL Mombasa hobo bag on Vestiaire for a steal! I love that deer horn handle!
Thank you for all the great info, Mel. I'm inspired to start hunting for more vintage pieces. xx
Wow! That was the best info, I’m really getting in this game , so much fun, thankyou !
Love vintage bags too! I will also add, as a Canadian subbie...factoring in the additional costs for exchange, shipping, taxes, duty is very important...it adds up quickly and can add significantly to the overall price. I always try to purchase from Canadian resellers for that reason. I have also found a few vintage designer pieces in thrift and consignment stores.
Great video Mel!! Just got a vintage Celine Denim bag on ebay , Price was sooo low 😍
Like you i prefer vintage designer bags, they are more unique, mor stylish and i love that there is always an unknown Story behind. Love from Berlin-Germany
Great tips Melissa! Thank you! I’ve been dabbling in vintage during this quarantine! It’s been fun! I have found some great vintage vuitton pieces in excellent condition for great prices too! Gonna try some top handle Chanel bags too. Don’t want a flap at all! I’ll know it when I see it!
LOVE YOUR VIBE! thank you for this video, super helpful! stay safe🥰
This is perfect, Mel!!!! Totally sharing!!!
Such great tips from the queen! Thanks so much!
Thank you for making this video. I just bought something from Re-Tyche after seeing it in one of your videos! After discovering the world of vintage and resale, not sure I could ever go back to buying in boutiques again
Thanks for sharing. I just started over my vintage LV collection. I love the bags 💼 and it’s more affordable for me at this time 😘
Warning!!! The Dior camera bag and a lot of Galliano bags from that era have piping around the bag that is crumbling off. I was so sad because I love the designs but was disappointed with the crumbling. Love the video :)
Thanks for the tip!
Great video. I have been vintage shopping. Thanks for the info.
Love your style , you’re such a fashionista. Sabina is amazing , I have used her several times to authenticate for me . Keep up the great videos ,
So helpful! I will definitely be able to find my dream bag with the use of these tips
😘
So true! Great video Mel thank you
What an amazing video! Thanks for sharing. Vintage is different for all - some need to buy vintage to get better pricing, while others have more of a vintage style. Regardless of why you are considering vintage this “guide” is such a gift! It can be really tricky and trusting strangers is not easy. Thanks again! And lemme know when you get tired of your vintage denim bags. 😬😜🤣
Thanks so much for the tips Mel! I’ve been looking into the vintage market a lot lately. I can’t tell if it’s the resell sites I’m using or the items I’m searching but I feel like a lot of the items are so over priced! I’ve been looking at LV denim, LV multicolore, and vintage Fendi across all the second hand apps. I wonder if maybe I need to find a smaller niche seller or find a piece I can restore myself 🤔 many times I think to myself “I can buy a brand new bag for that price” or at least half a bag 😅
Great video and thanks for the vintage shop links 👍
Love this video, thank you for educating us. I love the hunt too, I love Sabina,! I always send my preload vintage Chanel to Leather Surgeons. They are amazing! They will restore and spa and authenticate too,
I love love love your videos ❤❤❤
This is awesome!!! Thank you so much!!!
This was phenomenal in every way. I am on the hunt for a Chanel classic flap in red with gold hardware. Thank you for all of this!
Happy hunting!
Check out luxurypromise.com
I agree the hunt is so fun. I do love the Japanese sellers. They have really nice authentic goods.
i think you’re right with the chanel tote!
Good stuff. I'm really into vintage/second hand bags, and have some amazing bargains acquired over the years. I totally agree about buying what you like. Why go for what everyone else is chasing! All the great designers have created many beautiful bags, not just the 'it' bags. And you're far less likely to get a fake if you broaden your horizons beyond the obvious.
omg finally someone I can relate to!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the vintage market tips my lady. 👍🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy
Love this Thankyou for sharing
Great video💗
I love vintage shopping! But how do you know when it’s too much to spend on a vintage piece? How do you determine price for each bag/brand?
I set my limit of what I’m willing to spend. Search the sites; see the pricing everyone is showing. I also go in with a set budget that I am willing to spend and don’t go over it.
VERY GOOD video. Many thumbs up. Also you look gorgeous here. Fabulous natural eyebrow look.
You are my favourite!!!!!!!!!!❤️
🥰 thanks bb 💕
Cobblers are our best friend. Carinthia in Montreal has brought back my designer shoes and bags back from the dead!
They are the best in the city!!!!
Hi Mel, Great video. Do you know of any personal shoppers that would be willing to help you find vintage items? Some things are so hard to find!
Yaaaaass💕💪
Mel, do you sell your bags and if so, on which website?
What's the sweet spot between something looking dated and vintage? 10-15 years?
Do you shop on Vestiaire collective? I feel like it’s a great option because they will authenticate anything before sending it to you
I do but I find them expensive- and the duties are really high from them as well! My Loewe puzzle bag is from there and I paid close to $600 in duties :/
hi how much do u pay for authenticator?
hi mel, can you give us the link to your recommended authenticator that you mentioned?
I second this please! I have a few pre-loved Chanel bags that I have my eye on and would love to work with a trusted authenticator to ensure authenticity. Thank you!
I just her handle to the description box! Sorry I had totally forgotten!
Your last tip is how i lost on a chanel bandana fabric bag you have pictured on the thumbnail :(
Maybe I’m the one who bought it 🙈 waiting for mine to arrive tomorrow 😬
@@MelissaSoldera if it's from Luxitfwd, then it is! Hope you show it here or on insta :)
I highly recommend making friends with a SA at a store you trust. He or she will keep you posted on items that come in that you might be interested in

I think it’s less about the number of years, but more about the design. Simple and minimalist design with classic silhouette/shape tends to be more timeless. I have two vintage Chanel, one from 91-94 and another from 98. They don’t look dated at all, and you’d see similar shapes and styles still in the market (not only by Chanel but other brands), and I don’t mean the classic flaps they were seasonal bags that don’t get made anymore.
