It’s a fact. Whether you’re a die-hard fashion fan, a pre-teen with her head buried in ‘90s magazines or a yummy mummy living in the Cotswolds, everybody loves a little eco-conscious, second-hand find – especially if it’s luxury, and especially if it’s hard to get your hands on. Enter Matches, which has just launched a curated edit of the rarest and most coveted of pre-loved handbags and statement accessories on the market for you to snap up – saving you the hours-long search.
The edit arrives as part of the retailer’s team up with pre-owned specialist Sellier – the Knightsbridge-based brand co-founded by mother and daughter duo Dino Ibrahhimova and Hanushka Toni – which has handpicked a range of exclusive men’s and women’s goodies for your buying pleasure. Whether you’re on the hunt for an Hermés Kelly or Constance handbag or a Goyard Saint Louis tote, the vintage experts have cherry-picked the best of the best for you to buy online at Matches. We’re particularly here for the Hermés bags though, because baby, there are Birkins up for grabs too.
There’s also a whole slew of collectable Chanel bags on offer, including the Chanel Cruise 2022 Beechwood vanity case that Sofia Richie wore during her wedding weekend and a black version of the Chanel round top handle vanity case circa Summer 1995, just like the one worn by Barbie on the silver screen earlier this summer. Not to mention, a variety of limited-edition carryalls from 2017’s hella-hyped Louis Vuitton x Supreme collaboration.
Ensuring pristine quality and genuine credibility, each item is meticulously inspected by a team of in-house authenticators and undergoes microscopic third-party examination to confirm its credibility before launching on Matches ecommerce site.
“We are so pleased to be partnering with Sellier on this exciting project and to offer our customers these hard-to-find bags and accessories,” Cassie Smart, the head of womenswear at Matches, relays. “Each piece in the edit is so special and it is such a great opportunity to offer a more eco-conscious approach to accessorizing.”
Don’t sleep on this second-hand heaven because, as Sellier says, it’s fastest fingers first!
