Luxury Without the Surcharge: Vintage Designer Bags Are the Real Luxury Hack
There’s a reason vintage designer fashion has remained in style decade after decade. Aside from its undeniable charm, craftsmanship, and sustainability, buying vintage comes with another major perk: value.
While new designer bags continue to rise in price, vintage alternatives let you own the same iconic looks for a fraction of the cost—and now, thanks to new tariffs on imported luxury goods, the price difference is even more dramatic.
Tariffs Are Making New Designer Bags Even More Expensive
When you buy a newly produced designer handbag, you’re not just paying for the label or the latest collection—you’re now also paying significantly more due to new tariffs on goods imported from certain countries.
