Pay day is a week or two away, and while you might have been eyeing that Chanel bag since last month, that doesn’t mean you should blow your whole pay cheque on it. Here’s the rule of thumb when it comes to shopping: always survey the prices.
If you’re heading to Europe, you probably can get designer bags for cheaper there, but if you’re looking at past-season or secondhand buys, here are four places you can consider to get a better deal.
Reebonz has possibly Singapore’s widest range of both new and pre-loved luxury bags and accessories.
The online platform curates designer labels from more affordable luxury brands like Tory Burch and Alexander McQueen to the much-coveted Hermes and vintage Chanels, and everything in between.
Even brand new bags are offered on discount, while pre-loved items are authenticated and graded by experienced professionals to guarantee quality and great condition.
Delivery is promised within five business days!
With five physical stores in Singapore, Madam Milan is a popular place to sell, buy, consign, or even barter your authentic designer fashion.
Second hang luxury bags include up-to-date, in-season trends as well as vintage Hermes and Chanel pieces and more.
Unsure of whether the bag you’ve been eyeing is right for you?
With some luck, you’ll find it available for rent at That Bag I Want.
Popular luxury bags and accessories are available for rent by the week, with regular promotions such as “buy 1 week, get 1 week free” scheme. You can also purchase the bags if you like.
Delivery is a breeze, with an in-house courier team happy to arrange delivery at your convenience, right down to the hour.
Carousell is a haven for brand new and pre-loved items, and that includes designer bags.
Some people use this platform to buy, sell or trade their designer bags, since it allows them to skip a middleman.
The only problem? You can’t be sure of the bag’s authenticity.
Yes, the seller might say he or she bought it overseas, but there’s no way for you to really check, unless you bring the bag to the boutique for an authenticity test — but you have to bear shipping costs.
If you’re willing to take the risk, you can get pretty good deals.
