I suspect not many people are aware that Japan has many exclusive, brand-authorized products within its borders. 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 on the B2 level, of course! On the upper floors, you'll find specially authorized merchandise produced by certain brands, unique to Japan. You won't even find these in the brand's main sales channels. For example, in earlier years, Celine authorized several Japanese textile companies to produce various textile products, including a range of home goods, which are incredibly practical. Furthermore, 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 and specialty stores! However, Celine's authorization contracts with Japanese companies have long since ended, so even if you visit Japan now, you won't be able to purchase them anymore... These are Japanese limited editions that have been completely discontinued for many years, much like vintage bags! Each one is a rare find! As a small aside, the reason for these authorized products back then was that luxury brands began to look towards Asia. Japan's economy was booming, and it was likely the most "affluent" in Asia at the time. As many brands entered Japan, they made various arrangements in response to the local culture. One significant aspect is the widespread gift-giving culture in Japan. If you watch Japanese dramas, you'll know that Japanese people frequently give gifts, often without hesitation. The country already had many factories producing products that met various gifting needs, with highly mature technology and unique products. Therefore, many brands signed authorization agreements with Japanese companies for them to produce independently. These gift box sets were typically sold only in department stores. Such branded gift sets were very popular in Japan, primarily due to their impressive presentation. Having a "brand" name made them presentable enough to give 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 attached (if present, they are shown in the photos). A small number 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 vintage bag order offers a significant discount. 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 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, driven by 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 example, there's 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 gentle enough for a baby, 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 many washes, the colors won't fade. Even foil stamping won't lose its powder! 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 possess the same level of detail as a single small Japanese handkerchief. But you might ask: What use is 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 luxury and vintage 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 can serve as a small decorative element, and tying them 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 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 time, though a part of 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 have details on how to tie it). My most common use is for home decor. 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 is very dusty, and anything left in one place for two days will accumulate a thin layer of dust. When the cover cloth accumulates dust, I simply take the whole piece to the wash, which is convenient. Covering plain-colored cloths or handkerchiefs can look a bit odd visually (like a house is uninhabited and covered)... which is why 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 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 case of any unexpected situations, like wiping your bag or yourself on a rainy day. If you purchase a handkerchief as an add-on to a vintage bag order, there will be a preferential price.

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 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 refinement of the past. I believe the simplest and most direct way to see this is by comparing the detailed patterns of recent 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 seek out 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 always 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, even our clothing tends to return to basic styles because the more fundamental, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older items is also superior to newer ones. Anyone who understands ✦ leather can see 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, back then, brands didn't have the "ubiquitous" presence of numerous branches like they do now... Most customers 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 by the customer 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 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 have gleaming hardware today. As for new items 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 buying a Vintage bag 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 these is a discontinued item. The number that exists in the world is the total number, 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 "reissue," the reference or similar styles of Vintage pieces will skyrocket in price! Adding to this, in recent years, Korean and Japanese celebrities have favored vintage items. Once a particular style is used by a celebrity, its price immediately soars, truly skyrockets. This is because, during that period, many people will frantically search for that style or similar alternatives, causing the prices of those few items to multiply exponentially... Therefore, Vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy early; buy late, pay more" (this isn't an advertisement slogan... it's a truth in the vintage world...). This is my personal experience; I regret missing out on many series and couldn't find them again, or if I did, they were astronomically priced... But the problem is, even knowing it's astronomically priced, you're forced to buy it because waiting will only mean a higher price (unless the condition is poor). I'm often asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I will include a small note with details 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, vintage 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 vintage 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 vintage bag I collect is one I genuinely love, so I hope you will love it too and be able to preserve it for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you're interested in purchasing, please feel free to message me with any questions.
