It's likely not widely known that many brands produce exclusive, licensed products specifically for the Japanese market. If you've traveled to Japan, you'll know that department stores are filled with unique souvenirs, not just the food items found in the basement levels! On the upper floors, you'll find specially licensed products from various brands that are exclusive to Japan, often not even available through the brand's main sales channels. For example, in earlier years, Celine licensed several Japanese textile companies to produce a range of textile goods, including various home and lifestyle items – incredibly practical. These were sold at very friendly prices, making them perfect for both gifting and personal use, and positioned very differently from the brand's boutique stores! However, Celine's licensing agreements with these Japanese companies have long since expired, so even if you visit Japan now, you won't find them anymore... These are Japanese-exclusive items that have been completely discontinued for many years, much like pre-owned bags. Each one is a rare find! A small aside: the reason for these licensed products was that luxury brands began to focus on Asia. Japan's economy was booming, and it was likely the most "affluent" market in Asia at the time. As many brands entered Japan, they made various arrangements to accommodate local culture. The Japanese gift-giving culture is extensive; if you watch Japanese dramas, you'll see that people frequently exchange gifts. Local factories were already producing products to meet diverse gifting needs with mature techniques and unique designs. Therefore, many brands entered into licensing agreements with Japanese companies for production. These gift sets were typically sold only in department stores and were very popular in Japan due to their appealing presentation. Having a "brand" name made them suitable for gifting to relatives, friends, or superiors. . . . ⚐⚑˒˒ CELINE large square handkerchief. Each piece is unique and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Once sold, it's usually impossible to find the same one again! Most still have their original stickers (if present, they are shown in the photos). A few may be missing 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 offers a significant discount. The add-on price is truly exceptional.

Regarding handkerchiefs, most customers in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan likely 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 to a culture!) is deeply ingrained from childhood and has never changed! In Japan, whether it's children, adults, or the elderly, a handkerchief is a common item to carry, driven by factors such as environmental consciousness, decorum, and politeness. You can find more details online; I won't elaborate too much. In essence, if you live in Japan and don't carry a handkerchief, you're likely not Japanese. Japanese handkerchief production techniques are highly advanced. Don't underestimate these small cloths; upon closer inspection, you'll find exquisite details that are simply astonishing! Examples include 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 more. There's also a wide variety of materials: some are soft cotton suitable for babies, while others are made of breathable linen perfect for summer, offering quick drying. The patterns are not only intricate, but the details are such that even after multiple 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. Crucially, many of these techniques are unique to Japan. Even the more expensive silk scarves produced in Europe by the brand today don't feature the same level of detail as a single small Japanese handkerchief. But you might ask: "What can I do with a handkerchief if I don't use it for hygiene?" The uses for handkerchiefs extend far beyond wiping your mouth or sweat. They can be used as decorative accessories! You can hang them on bags or tie them around them. This is a wonderful habit for luxury and pre-owned bags, especially vintage ones. Their greatest value isn't their price but their increasing rarity in the world. Therefore, using them should involve a habit of protection. Hanging one on a bag adds a small decorative touch, and tying one around a strap can directly protect the most frequently used and easily aged areas, keeping them clean and preventing accidents. I personally experienced this once when someone next to me at a workshop accidentally spilled dye on their bag strap. Fortunately, I had made it a habit to tie a scarf around my strap! My bag was saved, though the handkerchief had an ink stain that wouldn't wash out... but I'd much rather it be the handkerchief than the strap! A handkerchief can also be used to adjust the length of an overly long strap (I can share how to tie it). My most frequent use, however, is for home decor. For a long time, I've made it a habit to use large scarves or handkerchiefs to cover decorative items or unused items at home, primarily for dust protection. My home gets very dusty, and anything left in one place for two days will accumulate a thin layer of dust. When the cover cloth gets dusty, I simply take the whole thing to the wash, which is convenient. Covering items with plain colored fabric or handkerchiefs can look a bit odd (like an unoccupied home...), which is why I've always used scarves to cover things around the house. The uses for handkerchiefs and scarves are truly endless and very personal. In any case, having a few extra small accessories like these isn't a problem. When folded into small squares, they don't take up much space in your bag, and they can be used in any unexpected situation – even to wipe down a bag or yourself on a rainy day.

In the past, most pre-owned items were handmade ✦, crafted with the warmth of human touch rather than mass production by machines. The craftsmanship of artisans was undoubtedly much more refined than that of machines, just as everyone appreciates products made by skilled artisans! However, today, the vast majority of processes are automated by machines with minimal human assembly, losing the delicacy of the past. The simplest and most direct way to see this is by comparing the detailed patterns of vintage monogram prints with the newer "revival" versions from recent years. The level of detail in the monogram alone is entirely different. If you love monograms, you must seek out pre-owned items! Truly! In terms of style, older pieces were more ✦ simple, timeless, and enduring. Many current new designs are actually reproductions of older styles. Yet, new items are priced higher than their vintage counterparts. New designs are typically based on older models with added details or modifications. The final product often ends up being more complex (or perhaps peculiar...) than its predecessors. As we grow older, we realize that the simpler things endure the longest!! As we age, our clothing choices often return to basic styles because the more fundamental, the more versatile. The quality of materials in older pieces is also superior to newer ones. If you understand ✦ leather, you'll notice that the materials used in new items are often of a lower grade than those in older pieces. This is mainly because the cost of high-quality raw materials is too high today, and their availability is less than in the past; Earth's resources are dwindling! Furthermore, brands back then didn't have the widespread presence they do now... Their clientele typically had a certain income level and high 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. The hardware on many new items oxidizes and discolors after just a year or two of use, but this rarely happens with older pieces. Besides the use of high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, the hardware from earlier eras was plated with genuine K gold! It's worth noting that Chanel Vintage is expensive for a reason; many of its clasps and chains contain real gold, certified by gold merchants! Therefore, even vintage bags from as early as the 60s and 70s, if well-preserved, can still have gleaming hardware today. As for the new items available now, from what I know of the brands, none of their hardware contains K gold anymore, making it prone to oxidation. Many say that buying a Vintage bag is a form of alternative investment, as they rarely depreciate and tend to appreciate in value. This is because the number of well-preserved pre-owned bags on the market is dwindling, and each one that disappears is gone forever. Remember, each of these is a discontinued item. The number that exists in the world is the total number available, so they will only become fewer, more expensive, and harder to find. Moreover, brands periodically increase their prices, and each increase drives up the market price for pre-owned items. Alternatively, if a brand releases a "reissue," the reference or similar styles of Vintage pieces will see a sharp price increase! Adding to this, in recent years, Japanese and Korean celebrities have favored vintage items. Once a particular style is seen on a celebrity, its price can skyrocket, truly soar. This is because, for a period, many people will frantically search for that style or similar alternatives, causing the prices of those few items to multiply... Therefore, 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 based on my personal experience; I regret not acquiring certain collections earlier, as they are now impossible to find, or if found, come with an astronomical price tag... However, even knowing the price is astronomical, you're compelled to buy because waiting will only mean a higher price (unless the condition is poor). I'm often asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I'll include a small note with detailed instructions inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to give them a once-over for maintenance when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (which makes each seasonal change a major undertaking... |||). Actually, pre-owned bags aren't that troublesome. When you're new to collecting, it's simply about getting into the habit of 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 decade and be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is one I love and have collected, 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.
