It’s an Investment
You might think that buying vintage fashion is a frivolous expense, when we should be putting our money in the bank. However, you might be surprised to hear that this investment is just like a regular investment, and the same rules apply. So, like with any other investment, you have the opportunity to make a profit. It’s true that vintage handbags are worth a lot of money now, but this doesn’t mean they can never be worth less than what they cost in the future. It’s no different to buying shares in a high street retailer. If you invest in shares with a company that’s doing well, you can expect that it will increase in value over time.
However, if you invest in stocks that are doing poorly, you’ll receive less dividends in the future. So buying vintage handbags isn’t the same as buying anything else. Plus, not only is investing in buying vintage handbags a lot more profitable, they’re often in demand, meaning that the supply of them decreases over time. So the investment doesn’t risk being diluted as much as some other types of investment.

It Makes You Feel More Stylish and Creative
Investing in a designer handbag makes you more creative than if you just go out and buy a standard high street bag. You’ll also start to develop a preference for what you like and which types you don’t like. After all, the best vintage handbags are the ones that you actually like. If you already have a bag that you love, why not get one that’s a little bit different? Vintage handbags often have a history behind them and they’re often made of different materials, so you’ll have to take a bit of time to figure out what you like. This can bring you a lot of joy, as well as saving you money. If you find yourself feeling a bit stuck, you can always go and visit a vintage shop or online shop that sells vintage handbags and take your time looking at the different designs.
It’s Eco-Friendly
One of the biggest trends in handbags today is choosing to buy sustainable handbags. After all, with all of the plastic pollution in the oceans and the problems with palm oil, choosing to buy sustainable handbags is the responsible thing to do. Vintage handbags aren’t as much of a problem, as they tend to be made of natural materials, such as leather. However, there are still a lot of handbags that are manufactured using plastic or other non-sustainable materials. In particular, the more you buy, the more you’ll have to support companies that don’t use sustainable materials. By buying high-end designer goods, not only are you helping to save the planet, you’re also helping to preserve this vintage handbag’s past.
The good news is that you don’t even need to worry about your vintage handbag’s story. There are vintage shops out there that can give you this information for free. And when you go to buy your vintage handbag from one of these shops, they’ll be happy to give you the history of the bag.
It Costs You Less
There are many benefits of investing in a designer handbag. One of the most surprising is that it actually costs less in the long run. Because vintage handbags tend to be less popular, you can’t just buy a new one and replace it with a vintage handbag for a fraction of the price. In fact, if you can find a very old handbag that’s been in circulation for at least 20 years, you’re likely to have a hard time finding a new one that costs less than your old one. And, you’re unlikely to find a purse that’s actually worth less than the money you paid for it in its original state. However, if you buy the right vintage handbag, you’re more likely to get a better deal. Of course, buying vintage handbags can be a little tricky, but here are some tips to help you find the best deal possible.
You’ll Feel More Confident
Most people aren’t confident when they go shopping, so they’ll want to stay away from things that they’re not sure about. Luckily, vintage handbags are made of different materials, so you can be sure that you’ll be able to handle them easily. Vintage handbags are generally well-maintained, meaning that they don’t need to be fixed at all. This means that you’ll know that you’re getting a sturdy, good quality bag for your money. You're sure to feel more confident and able to walk out of a store without feeling held back by your handbag.
You’ll Save On Plastic
Because of the way that many designer handbags are made, you’ll know that they’re not made of plastic. However, most bags you find today are made from either plastic or other non-sustainable materials. If you’re thinking about how you can reduce your plastic waste, this is a great way to start.
