I suspect not many people realize that Japan has many exclusive products produced under brand authorization. If you've traveled to Japan, you'll know that department stores are filled with numerous specialty souvenirs. I'm not referring to the food items on the B2 level, of course! Instead, on the upper floors, you'll find items specially authorized and produced by brands, unique to Japan. These are often not even available through the brand's main sales channels. For example, in earlier times, Celine authorized several Japanese textile companies to produce various textile products, including a range of home goods, which were incredibly practical. Moreover, the selling prices were extremely friendly, making them perfect for both gifting and personal use, with a significant difference compared to the pricing of brand boutiques. However, Celine's authorization contracts with Japanese companies have long since expired, so even if you visit Japan now, you won't be able to find them anymore... These are Japanese limited editions that have been completely discontinued for many years, much like pre-owned bags! Each one is a rare find! 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" market in Asia then. As many brands entered Japan, they made various arrangements in response to local culture. Among these, the Japanese gift-giving culture is extremely widespread. If you watch Japanese dramas, you know that Japanese people give gifts frequently, often without hesitation. The country already had many factories producing items that met various gifting needs, with highly mature techniques and unique products. Therefore, many brands signed licensing agreements with Japanese companies for self-production. These gift sets were typically sold only in department stores. Such branded gift sets were very popular in Japan, primarily due to their presentable packaging. 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 per style. 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 small number 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 significantly cheaper. The add-on price is truly exceptional. Please contact me before ordering to adjust the price. Regarding handkerchiefs, I believe 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, decorum, and politeness. You can find more details online; I won't elaborate too much. In short, if you live in Japan and don't carry a handkerchief, you're likely not Japanese. Japanese handkerchief production techniques are extremely advanced. 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's also a wide selection of materials: some are soft cotton, gentle enough for a baby, while others are made of breathable linen, perfect for quick drying in summer. 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, suitable for framing as decoration. The most crucial point is that many of these techniques are unique to Japan. Even the more expensive silk scarves produced in Europe by the brand 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 far beyond wiping your mouth or sweat. They can be used for decoration! You can hang them on bags or tie them around them. This practice is excellent for preserving both designer and pre-owned bags. Especially with vintage items, their greatest value isn't their price but their increasing rarity in the world. Therefore, using them requires care. Hanging one on a bag adds a small decorative touch, and tying one around the strap can directly protect the most frequently used and easily worn areas, keeping them clean and preventing accidents. I personally experienced this once: at a workshop, the person next to me accidentally spilled dye on their bag strap. Fortunately, I had habitually tied a scarf around my strap! My bag was saved that day, though the scarf had an ink stain that wouldn't wash out... But I'd much rather stain a scarf than a bag 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. For a long time, I've made it a habit to use large scarves or handkerchiefs to cover idle decorative items at home, primarily for dust protection. My home gets very dusty, and anything left undisturbed for two days will accumulate a thin layer of dust. When the cover cloth gets dusty, I simply take the whole piece to the wash, which is convenient. Covering plain fabric or handkerchiefs can look a bit odd (like a house is unoccupied and covered)... which is why I've always used scarves to cover things around the house. The uses for handkerchiefs and scarves are truly endless and personal. In any case, having one or two extra small accessories isn't a problem. When folded into small squares, they don't take up much space in your bag and can be used in any unexpected situation, even for wiping bags or people on a rainy day. There's a special offer if you purchase a handkerchief along with a pre-owned bag order. Please message me before placing your order to adjust the price. ❍ The photos are taken by the owner under natural sunlight, and the lighting may vary depending on the time of day, so color variations are possible. Each handkerchief has individual details and unfolded views, but they cannot be displayed here. Please message me to request them. Due to the unique nature of pre-owned orders, returns and exchanges are not accepted. Therefore, please examine the photos carefully before placing your order. ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ | Rating | Brand New, Unused | Size | Square, between 45-55cm | Color | / | Material | Cotton | Origin | Japan ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ The main reason I love pre-owned bags is that the materials from bygone eras are far superior to those in modern new items. In the past, most pre-owned items were ✦ handmade, imbued with the warmth of craftsmanship rather than mass production. The skill of artisans was undoubtedly much more refined than that of machines, just as everyone appreciates products crafted by skilled artisans! However, today, the vast majority of processes are mechanized with minimal human assembly, losing the delicacy of the past. I believe the simplest and most direct way to see this is by comparing the intricate details of vintage brand monograms with their modern "revival" versions. The level of detail in the monograms alone is entirely different. If you love monograms, seek out pre-owned items! Truly! In terms of style, older pieces are more ✦ simple, timeless, and enduring. Many current new designs are actually reproductions of older styles. However, 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 more complex (or peculiar...) than the older versions. I believe as we mature, we realize one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As we age, even our clothing tends to return to basic styles because the more fundamental, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older pieces is also superior to newer ones. If you understand ✦ leather, you'll notice that the materials in new items are generally inferior to older ones. This is mainly because the cost of high-quality raw materials is too high today, and their availability is less than before. Earth's resources are dwindling... Furthermore, brands back then didn't have the ubiquitous presence they do now... Their clientele typically 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. The hardware on many new items oxidizes and discolors after just one or two years, but older pieces typically do not. 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! Therefore, even vintage bags from as early as the 60s and 70s, if properly preserved, can still gleam today. As for the new items available now, from what I know of the brands, none of their hardware contains K gold anymore, making them prone to oxidation. Many say buying Vintage bags 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 decreasing, and each one lost means one less. Remember, each of these is a discontinued item. The number that exists in the world is all there is, 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. If a brand releases a "reissue," the vintage reference or similar styles will see a sharp price increase! Adding to this, with the recent popularity of vintage items among Korean and Japanese celebrities, once a particular style is seen on a celebrity, its price skyrockets, truly skyrockets. This is because, for a period, many people will frantically search for that specific style or a similar alternative, 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 my personal experience; I regret not acquiring certain series earlier, as I can no longer find them, or if I do, they come with an exorbitant price tag... But the problem is, even knowing it's an exorbitant price, you're compelled to buy because waiting will only mean a higher price later (unless the condition is poor). I am 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 give them a once-over when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (so each season change is a major undertaking...|||). Actually, pre-owned bags aren't that troublesome. When you're new to it, it's simply about getting used to regular maintenance and cherishing your bag. Once it becomes a habit, it's not difficult. The materials of pre-owned bags are inherently excellent. As long as they are not used roughly and are preserved properly, they can easily last another ten years and be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is one I collected because I loved it, so I hope you will love it too and be able to preserve it ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you are interested in purchasing, please feel free to message me with any questions.
