7 Reasons to Shop Vintage Louis Vuitton Handbags

Since 1854, Louis Vuitton has been designing the most exquisite trunks and handbags – an iconic staple in the world of luxury accessories. The French fashion house has such a rich history and expert craftsmanship that so many people choose to purchase a vintage LV bag rather than a brand-new one.

We explore the many reasons why you absolutely must own a vintage Louis Vuitton handbag.


1) Can be more affordable than brand-new LV bags

One of the biggest benefits of buying a vintage Louis Vuitton bag is that they are often more affordable than a brand-new one. This is great for someone on a budget who is looking to purchase their first designer handbag or wants to grow their collection.

2) Vintage Louis Vuitton bags are durable

There’s nothing worse than spending a fortune on a luxury designer handbag which barely makes it through the season. The Louis Vuitton canvas material is renowned for its durability, as proven when in use for its ground-breaking vintage trunks and suitcases. You can rely on this sturdy material to see you through with very little wear and tear.

3) They improve with age, which you get instantly with vintage

Vintage designer handbags are often made of high-quality stitching and materials. Louis Vuitton uses leather which actually improves with age, so when you purchase a vintage Louis Vuitton bag, it will have that stunning patina from the get-go. When you buy a new LV handbag, you have to wait for the leather to naturally get that rich tan colour that comes with time.

4) They're real investment pieces

Louis Vuitton handbags are fabulous at maintaining their value. The styles are timeless, the designs are iconic, and the quality is impeccable, making them an ever-popular choice for fashion-conscious buyers. So, if ever you were to consider selling your beloved Louis, you can be sure there will always be a market for vintage Louis Vuitton bag.

Do you have a record of an LV bag that has cost more than a new one? I can see a few examples online but was wondering if there was one which was significantly higher.

5) Original styles

There is an incredible variety of vintage Louis Vuitton handbag styles to help you stand out from the crowd. Plus, you can find many vintage bags that have been discontinued from production, so the chances of you bumping into a fellow fashionista with the same Louis Vuitton bag is slim.

6) Collectable

Vintage Louis Vuitton handbags are considered collectables. You’re not just investing in a handbag but also in the history and the art of the piece too. This is because they have a rich history and are extremely rare, making them incredibly unique.


7) It’s more sustainable

Choosing high-quality, buying for the long term, and investing your money in a valued piece are very important for the environment. Purchasing something well-made that has been restored to be as good as new and that can last a lifetime is much more sustainable than buying something brand-new
