I suspect not many people are aware that Japan has numerous exclusive products licensed by various brands. If you've traveled to Japan, you'll know that department stores are filled with unique souvenirs, not just the food items on the B2 level! On the upper floors, you'll find special items produced under license from certain brands, exclusive to Japan. These are often unavailable even through the brand's primary sales channels. For instance, in earlier times, Celine licensed several Japanese textile companies to produce fabric goods, including various household items, which were incredibly practical. Moreover, the pricing was extremely attractive, making them perfect for both gifting and personal use, a stark contrast to the price positioning of the brand's boutiques. However, Celine's licensing agreements with Japanese companies have long since expired, meaning you can no longer purchase these items in Japan, even today... These are all Japanese limited editions that have been completely out of production for many years, just like pre-owned bags. Each one is a rare find! As a small aside, the reason for these licensed products was that luxury brands began to focus on the Asian market. Japan's economy was booming at the time, likely being the most affluent in Asia then. As many brands entered Japan, they made various arrangements in response to local culture. The deeply ingrained and widespread Japanese gift-giving culture, as seen in Japanese dramas, involves frequent gift exchanges. Beyond basic celebrations and birthdays, small gifts are given to neighbors when moving, as the saying goes, "gifts are never unwelcome." The country already had many factories producing items to meet diverse gifting needs, with highly mature and unique techniques. Consequently, many brands signed licensing agreements with Japanese companies for production. These products were typically sold only in department stores. Such branded gift sets are very popular in Japan, offering a good presentation and price point, making them a safe choice for any occasion. Having a "brand" name is sufficient for gifting to relatives, friends, or superiors. Furthermore, Japanese craftsmanship is truly exquisite and never fails to impress! . . . ⚐⚑˒˒CELINE large square handkerchief. Each piece is unique and usually cannot be found again once sold! Most still have their original stickers (if applicable, 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 with a pre-owned bag order offers a significant discount. The add-on price is truly exceptional. Please contact me before ordering to adjust the price. Regarding handkerchiefs, most customers from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan likely used them more frequently in childhood, switching 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! Whether it's children, adults, or the elderly, a handkerchief is a basic item in everyone's bag in Japan, for various reasons, likely including environmental consciousness, decorum, and politeness. You can find more details online; I won't elaborate too much. In short, the only people without a handkerchief in Japan are likely foreigners. Japanese handkerchief production techniques are extremely advanced. Don't underestimate this small piece of fabric; upon closer inspection, you'll be amazed by the exquisite details! For example, there's double-sided embroidery in two colors, hidden embroidery, the use of various materials in similar shades to create a flowing effect, gold and silver foil stamping, colored foil stamping, and more. There's also a wide selection of materials, from soft cotton gentle enough for babies to breathable linen perfect for summer and quick drying. The patterns are not only intricate, but the details are such that they won't fade even after multiple washes. Even foil stamping won't lose its powder! Many are so beautiful they resemble works of art, suitable for framing and display. The most crucial point is that many techniques are unique to Japan. Even the high-end silk scarves produced in Europe by the brand may not match the detail and exquisiteness of a small Japanese handkerchief. But you might ask: What can I do with a handkerchief if I don't use it for hygiene? The uses of a handkerchief extend beyond wiping your mouth or face. They can be used for decoration! They can be hung on bags or tied to them. This is an excellent habit for luxury bags and pre-owned bags, especially vintage ones. Their greatest value lies not in their price but in their increasing rarity in the world. Therefore, using them requires a habit of protection. Hanging them on a bag adds a small decorative touch, and tying them to the strap can directly protect the most frequently used and easily worn areas, keeping them clean and preventing accidental damage. I personally experienced an incident at a workshop where someone nearby accidentally spilled dye on my bag's strap. Fortunately, I had habitually tied a scarf to the strap! My bag was saved from the accident, although one spot on the handkerchief became unremovable... But I would much rather sacrifice the handkerchief than the bag's strap! Additionally, a handkerchief can be used to adjust the length of overly long straps. You can find detailed tutorials online for tying methods; I find this use quite unique. My most frequent use is for home decor. A long time ago, I developed a habit of using large scarves or handkerchiefs to cover idle decorative items at home, primarily for dust protection, as my home is very dusty. Items left in one place for just two or three days would accumulate a thin layer of dust. When the covering cloth gets dusty, I simply take the whole piece to wash, which is convenient. Covering with plain colored fabric or handkerchiefs can look a bit odd (like an unoccupied house covered with cloths)... so I've always had a habit of using scarves and handkerchiefs 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 is not a problem. When folded into small squares and placed in a bag, they don't take up much space and can be used in any unexpected situation, even for wiping bags or people on rainy days. If you purchase this handkerchief as an add-on to a pre-owned bag order, you'll receive a discounted price. Please message me before ordering 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.

In the past, most pre-owned items were handmade, with the warmth of human touch rather than mass production. The craftsmanship of artisans was undoubtedly much more delicate than machines, just as everyone appreciates products handcrafted by artisans! However, today, the vast majority of processes are done by machines with minimal human assembly, losing the fineness of the past. The simplest and most direct way to see this is by comparing the detailed patterns of recent brand reissues with the original patterns from older eras. The level of detail in the 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 current new designs are actually reproductions of older styles. However, new items are priced higher than older ones. New designs are typically based on older models with added details or modifications. The final product often ends up being more complex (or strange...) than the older versions. I believe as we grow older, we understand one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As we age, our clothing choices tend to return to basic styles because the more basic, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older items is also superior to newer ones. If you understand leather, you'll notice that 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 availability is less than before. Earth's resources are dwindling! Furthermore, brands back then did not have the widespread presence they do now... Most customers had a certain income level and certain expectations for the finished product. There was no "fast fashion culture" back then; 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 models usually do not. Besides the high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, hardware from earlier eras was 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 the 60s and 70s, if well-preserved, can still shine brightly today. As for new items available now, from what I know of the brands, none of their hardware contains K gold anymore, which is why it oxidizes easily. Many say that buying Vintage bags is a form of alternative investment because they rarely depreciate and often appreciate in value. This is because the number of well-preserved pre-owned bags on the market is decreasing, and each one that disappears is gone forever. Remember, each of them is a discontinued product. 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. If a brand releases a "reissue," the reference or similar styles in Vintage will see a direct price increase! Adding to this, with the recent popularity of vintage items among Japanese and Korean 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 style or a similar alternative, causing the prices of those few items to multiply... Therefore, Vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy early; buy late, pay more" (this is not an advertising slogan... it's a truth in the pre-owned world...). This is my personal experience; I regret not acquiring certain collections earlier. They are now impossible to find, or if found, they come with an exorbitant price tag... But the problem is, even knowing it's an exorbitant price, you're forced to buy because waiting will only mean a higher price later (unless the condition is poor). I am frequently asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I will include detailed care instructions on a small note inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to give my bags a once-over when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (so each seasonal change is a major undertaking...|||). Actually, pre-owned bags are not that troublesome. When you're new to collecting, it's simply about getting 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 they are not used roughly and are preserved properly, they can easily last another ten years to be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is one that I love, which is why I collect them. I hope you will love them too and be able to preserve them for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you are interested in purchasing, please feel free to message me with any questions. I am looking for discerning buyers who appreciate these pre-owned treasures ⸜❤︎⸝. ⚜️All copyrights and trademarks belong to the brand of this product.⚜️
