5 Discontinued Bags You Need To Secure

5 DISCONTINUED BAGS THAT YOU NEED TO SECURE

We understand that luxury handbags become part of the family when they’re adopted into your collection, which is why The Handbag Clinic have curated a list of discontinued designs you need to look out for! 

Fashion power houses have broken our hearts time and time again by discontinuing bags that we loved, but now resale is the largest consumer trend for the second year running, we can breathe a sigh of relief as many of the items are available to purchase preloved, yay! 

1. Louis Vuitton Multicoloured Monogram

The first bag that came to our mind was the Multicoloured Monogram, one of the most iconic ‘it bags’.

Multicoloured Monogram designs first made an appearance in 2003, at the Spring/Summer Louis Vuitton fashion show. They were designed by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and became a firm favourite with celebrities and fashion lovers alike.

Memories of this bag iconic 00s celebs like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, and the fictional Carrie Bradshaw. 2015 stole most people’s dreams of purchasing one brand new, as they were officially discontinued. On the pre-loved market, an LV Multicoloured Monogram could set you back £765.

2. Chanel Grand Shopping Tote (GST)

Commonly crafted in Caviar leather, the Chanel GST handbag secured its status as an iconic design and the fashion world was shocked when it was discontinued in 2015.

3. Chanel Medallion Tote

Hosting the large CC motif, the Chanel Medallion Tote was on the arm of every fashion-conscious individual back in the 00s. It served as the perfect accessory for cosmopolitan women due to it being made of a spacious design that could fit shoes, a laptop, and everything you need to see you through from dawn to dusk.

Hosting a gold medallion CC zipper closure, it fitted perfectly into the existing Chanel collection of simple designs, until it was discontinued in 2013. You can own yours pre-owned from The Handbag Clinic starting from £1,595.

4. Mulberry Roxanne

Everything about a Mulberry Roxanne is extrinsically expressive. From its exposed rivets, burgeoning buckles, and prominent straps, its entrance to the realms of the luxury fashion market in 2004 marked a change in handbag designs.

This era birthed designs that focused on maximalism hardware and plenty of it. It signified a stark change within the Mulberry collection as the iconic tree logo, which had always taken a prominent position on the front of bags, was now hidden on rivets. Pre-owned prices at The Handbag Clinic start from £345.

5. LV Eva Clutch

The LV Eva Clutch was produced in all three of the iconic Louis Vuitton prints – Monogram, Damier Ebene, and Damier Azur.

The Eva Clutch was a versatile design as it could be worn crossbody, as a shoulder bag, or even adapted as a wrist bag. It was large enough to carry your phone and lipstick. However, Vuitton crafted similar designs in the Pochette Felicie and the Favourite MM, meaning the Eva wasn’t unique enough to continue manufacturing it.
