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. I'm not referring to the food items in the basement levels! Instead, on the upper floors, you'll find specially licensed products from various brands that are unique to Japan. These items are 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, which are incredibly practical. Furthermore, the selling prices were very accessible, making them perfect for both gifting and personal use, and quite different from the pricing strategy of the brand's official boutiques! However, Celine's licensing agreements with Japanese companies have long since expired, so even if you visit Japan now, you won't be able to find these items anymore... These are Japan-exclusive items 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 licensed products back then was that luxury brands began to focus on the Asian market. Japan's economy was booming, and it was likely the most "affluent" market in Asia at the time. Therefore, many brands entering Japan made various arrangements in response to local culture. One significant aspect is the widespread gifting culture in Japan. As seen in Japanese dramas, people there frequently exchange gifts. The more gifts, the better. Japan already had many factories producing products to meet various gifting needs, with highly mature technology and unique offerings. Consequently, many brands entered into licensing agreements with Japanese companies for exclusive production. These gift sets were typically sold only in department stores. Such branded gift sets were very popular in Japan, primarily due to their appealing presentation. Having a "brand name" made them presentable 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). Some may be missing the sticker, 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. 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, 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 basic necessity in their bags, owing to various factors, 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 have a handkerchief, you're likely not Japanese. Japanese handkerchiefs are produced with extremely high technical skill. Don't underestimate these small pieces of fabric; upon closer inspection, you'll be amazed by the exquisite details! For instance, there's two-tone double-sided embroidery, hidden embroidery, the use of different thread materials in similar colors to create a lustrous effect, gold and silver foil stamping, colored foil stamping, and more. There's also a wide variety of material choices, some made of soft cotton gentle enough for a baby, others made of breathable linen perfect for summer with quick-drying properties, and so on. The patterns are not only intricate, but the details are such that they won't fade even after numerous washes. 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 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 feature 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 personal hygiene? 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 luxury 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 should also involve a habit of protection. Hanging them on a bag adds a small decorative touch, and tying them around a strap can directly protect the most frequently used and easily worn 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 the habit of tying 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 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, however, is for home decoration. I've long had the habit of using large scarves or handkerchiefs to cover idle decorative items at home, primarily for dust protection. My home is 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 piece to the wash, which is convenient. Covering items with plain colored fabric or handkerchiefs can look a bit odd (like an unoccupied house with cloths draped over things)... 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 like these 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.

In the past, most pre-owned items were ✦ handmade, with the warmth of craftsmanship rather than mass production by machines. The artisan's skill was definitely much more delicate than that of machines, just as everyone appreciates products made by skilled artisans! However, today, the vast majority of processes are done by machines 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 detailed patterns of modern brand reissues with the authentic monograms from older eras. The level of detail in the monogram patterns alone is entirely 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 remakes of older styles. However, new items are priced higher than older ones. New designs are typically based on older models with added details or design modifications. The final product often ends up being more complex (or strange...) than its predecessors. I believe as we grow older, we understand one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As we age, we tend to return to basic clothing styles because the more basic, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older items is also superior to newer ones. Anyone who understands ✦ leather can tell that the materials used in new items are mostly 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 of numerous branches like they do now... The target customers mostly had a certain income level and certain expectations for the finished products. 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 typically do not. Besides the use of high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, the hardware in 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 properly preserved, can still have gleaming hardware today. As for the new models available now, from what I know of the brands, none of them have K gold in their hardware anymore, which is why they oxidize easily. Many say that buying Vintage bags is a form of alternative investment because they rarely depreciate and tend to increase 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 these is a discontinued item. The number that exists in the world is the total number that will ever exist, so they will only become fewer, more expensive, and harder to find. Moreover, many brands periodically increase their prices, and each increase drives up the market price of 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 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 advertisement slogan... it's a truth in the pre-owned world...). This is my personal experience; I regret not acquiring some series earlier, as 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 compelled to buy because waiting will only mean a higher price (unless the condition is poor). I am often asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I will include a small note with the details inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to take them out for maintenance when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (so each seasonal 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 the 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 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.
