I suspect not many people are aware that Japan has many exclusive products produced under brand authorization, right? If you've traveled to Japan, you'll know that department stores are filled with all sorts of local specialties and souvenirs. I'm not talking about the food specialties on the B2 level, of course! On the upper floors, you'll find items specially authorized for production by certain brands, unique to Japan. You won't even find them through the brand's main sales channels. For example, Celine authorized several Japanese textile companies in earlier years to produce various textiles, including a range of home goods, which are incredibly practical. And the selling prices were extremely friendly, making them perfect for both gifting and personal use, a stark contrast to the pricing of brand boutiques! However, Celine's authorization contracts with Japanese companies have long since ended, so you won't be able to find them even if you visit Japan now... These are all Japanese limited editions that have been completely out of production for many years, just like pre-owned bags! Once they're gone, they're gone! As a small aside, the reason for these authorized products was that luxury brands began to look towards Asia. Japan's economy was booming at the time, and it was likely the most "affluent" in Asia then. So, as many brands entered Japan, they made various arrangements in response to the local culture. Among these, the Japanese gift-giving culture is extremely widespread. If you watch Japanese dramas, you know that Japanese people give gifts very frequently, often without hesitation. The country already had many factories producing items that met various gifting needs, with highly mature technology and unique products. Therefore, many brands signed authorization agreements for Japanese companies to produce them independently. These gift sets were typically sold only in department stores. Such branded gift sets were very popular in Japan, mainly because they looked presentable. Having a "brand" name made them suitable for gifting to relatives, friends, or superiors. . . . ⚐⚑˒˒ CELINE large square handkerchief. Each piece is unique and only one is available. Once sold, it's usually impossible to find the same one again! Most still have their original stickers (if applicable, they are shown in the photos). Some may no longer have stickers, but all are brand new and unused, perfect for gifting or personal use. Sizes range from 45-55CM. Purchasing this as an add-on to a pre-owned bag order will be much cheaper. The add-on price is truly exceptional. Please contact me before ordering to adjust the price. Regarding handkerchiefs, I imagine most customers in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan only used them more frequently in childhood, resorting to tissues as they grew older. However, the Japanese handkerchief culture (yes... it has evolved from an item into a culture) is deeply ingrained from childhood to adulthood and has never changed! In Japan, whether it's children, adults, or the elderly, a handkerchief is a staple in their bags, for various reasons, likely including environmental consciousness, dignity, and politeness. You can find more details online; I won't elaborate too much. In short, if you live in Japan and don't have a handkerchief, you're likely not Japanese. Japanese handkerchiefs are produced with extremely high technical skill. Don't underestimate these small pieces of cloth; upon closer inspection, you'll find exquisite details that will amaze you! For example, two-tone double-sided embroidery, hidden embroidery, the use of subtly different colored threads to create a lustrous effect, gold and silver foil stamping, colored foil stamping, and so on. There are also many material options: some are soft cotton gentle enough for a baby, while others are made of breathable linen perfect for summer, drying incredibly fast. The patterns are not only intricate, but the details are such that even after many washes, the colors won't fade, and even the foil stamping won't lose its sheen! Many are so beautiful they resemble works of art and can even be framed for decoration. The most important point is that many of these techniques are unique to Japan. Even the more expensive silk scarves produced in Europe by the brands today don't have as many intricate details as a single small Japanese handkerchief. But you might ask: What can I do with a handkerchief if I don't use it for cleaning? The uses of a handkerchief extend beyond wiping your mouth or sweat. They can be used for decoration! You can hang them on your bag or tie them around it. This practice is excellent for preserving both designer and pre-owned bags, especially vintage ones. Their greatest value isn't their price but their rarity in the world. Therefore, using them requires care. Hanging one on your bag adds a small decorative touch, and tying one around the strap can directly protect the most frequently used and easily aged areas, keeping them clean and preventing accidents. I personally experienced this once: a lady next to me at a workshop accidentally spilled dye on her bag strap. Fortunately, I had habitually tied a scarf around my strap! My bag was saved that time, though the scarf got an ink stain that wouldn't wash out... But I'd much rather it be the scarf than the strap! A handkerchief can also be used to adjust the length of an overly long strap (I have details on how to tie it). My most frequent use is for home decoration. A long time ago, I developed the habit of using large scarves or handkerchiefs to cover idle decorative items in my home, primarily to prevent dust. My home gets very dusty, and anything left undisturbed for two days accumulates a thin layer of dust. When the cover cloth gets dusty, I simply take the whole thing off to wash, which is convenient. Covering plain fabric or handkerchiefs can look a bit odd (like a house is abandoned and covered)... So I've always had the habit of using scarves to cover things around the house. The uses for handkerchiefs and scarves are truly endless and very personal. In any case, having one or two extra small accessories isn't a problem. When folded into small squares and placed in your bag, they don't take up much space and can be used in any unexpected situation, even for wiping your bag or yourself on a rainy day.

In the past, most pre-owned items were handmade, with the warmth of craftsmanship rather than mass production. The artisan's skill was undoubtedly much more delicate than machines, just as everyone loves products handcrafted by artisans! However, today, the vast majority of processes are machine-made with minimal human assembly, losing the former refinement. I think the simplest and most direct way to see this is to compare the new "revival" monogram patterns from recent years with the authentic monogram patterns from older eras. The level of detail in the monogram patterns alone is completely different. If you love monograms, you must look for pre-owned items! Truly! In terms of style, older eras were more simple, classic, and timeless. Many new designs today are actually revivals of older styles. However, new items are priced higher than older ones. New designs are typically based on older styles, with added details or design changes. The final product often ends up more complex (or strange...) than its predecessors. I believe as we grow older, we all understand one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As we age, even our clothing tends to return to basic styles because the more basic, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older items is also better than in newer ones. If you understand leather, you'll see it: the materials in new items are mostly inferior to older ones. This is mainly because the cost of high-quality raw materials is too high now, and their quantity is not as abundant as before. Earth's resources are dwindling... Furthermore, brands back then weren't as "ubiquitous" with stores everywhere as they are now... The clientele mostly had a certain income and certain expectations for the finished product. There wasn't the "fast fashion" culture of today; a bag was expected to be used for many years. The difference between new and old eras is clearly visible in the hardware. Many new hardware pieces oxidize and discolor after just one or two years, but older models usually don't. Besides the high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, hardware from earlier eras was often plated with real K gold! It's worth mentioning that Chanel Vintage is expensive for a reason; many of its clasps and chains contain real gold, certified by gold merchants! So, even for Vintage bags from as early as the 60s and 70s, if properly preserved, the hardware can still gleam today. As for the new models available now, from what I know of the brands, none of their hardware contains K gold anymore, making them prone to oxidation. Many people say buying a Vintage bag is a form of alternative investment because they rarely depreciate and often appreciate in value. This is because well-preserved pre-owned bags are becoming increasingly scarce, and each one that disappears is gone forever. Remember, each of them is a discontinued item. The number that exists in the world is finite, so they will only become fewer, more expensive, and harder to find. Moreover, many brands increase their prices periodically, and each increase drives up the prices in the pre-owned market. Or, if a brand releases a "revival model," the Vintage reference or similar styles will see a sharp price increase! Add to this the fact that Korean and Japanese celebrities have been favoring vintage items in recent years. Once a specific model is seen on a celebrity, its price skyrockets, truly skyrockets. This is because, for a period, many people will frantically search for that model or a similar alternative, causing the prices of those few models to multiply... So, Vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy longer; buy late, pay more" (this isn't an advertising slogan... it's a truth in the pre-owned world...). This is my personal experience; I regret entering the market late for many series – I can't find them, and even if I do, the price is astronomical... But the problem is, even knowing it's an astronomical price, you're compelled to buy it because waiting for the next one will only mean a higher price (unless the condition is poor). I'm often asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I will include detailed instructions on a small note inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to take them out for maintenance when I tidy my closet at the change of seasons (so each seasonal change is a major undertaking...|||). Actually, pre-owned bags aren't that troublesome. When you first start, you just need to get used to regular maintenance and cherishing your bag. Once you form the habit, it's not difficult. The materials of pre-owned bags are inherently excellent. As long as you don't use them roughly and preserve them properly, they can easily last another ten years to be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is one I love and therefore collect, so I hope you will love it too and be able to preserve it for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you're interested in purchasing, feel free to message me with any questions.
