Designer bags never go out of style, but investing in one comes at a hefty price tag that many of us simply can’t afford. The good news is you can get designer bags at discount prices by buying them secondhand. But, it’s important when buying secondhand to make sure you’re not getting scammed as there are tons of fakes that look like the real thing. Here are some tips for shopping designer bags secondhand and how to avoid being duped.

Do Your Research

Before you buy your secondhand bag, do your research and look at forums and peer-to-peer reviews. Make sure you check resale sites to assure the prices aren’t too good to be true.

Buy From Reputable Sellers

Reputable sellers usually have lots of information about the bag as well as images from all angles. They should also be responsive and more than happy to provide you with more information. Check to see if the bag has an authenticity guarantee. Look out for return policies in case you find something is off with the purchase.

Know the Value

Luxury bags like Chanel’s Flap bags and Hermes Birkins never go out of style and their quality puts them above other brands. Other great brands are Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Goyard. The demand makes the bags resale for high values. For contemporary labels or emerging designers, you’ll be able to find better deals.

The 2010s brought the revolution of the second-hand clothing market, even though many didn’t expect this. But are we now ready for second-hand beauty? Buying previously owned beauty and makeup products has been one of the leading trends in the U.S. and Japan recently.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8aaYmVB2Ez/

Glambot is a U.S. company that will buy your used makeup, sanitize it, repackage it, and sell it again. Their products sell for around 15-20% cheaper than the original products and they have positioned themselves as a leader in this market.

Japan is also a big market for this type of beauty products. Millennials in Japan are obsessed with getting second-hand makeup, especially from brands they can’t get in their home country. Japan’s biggest online shop is Mercari, but it works a bit differently than Glambot. Mercari is a site that connects sellers and buyers, offering the users a secure way to get used but sanitized products.

Have you ever bought a used beauty item? What do you think about this idea?

If you feel like a room in your house is looking tired and overdue for a makeover, nothing should hold you back! Unfortunately, trendy home stores can sometimes get pricey, and even the discounted ones are not always as cheap as you think. If you want an original looking room that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, consider looking to these resources for an affordable update.

Charity Shops

Shops like Goodwill or the Salvation Army usually have a pretty big home section which is full of goodies and low prices. You will also usually find more unique pieces there unlike a regular store.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BlrPtDDFIMN/?tagged=goodwillfinds

Yard and Garage Sales

Some of the best pieces of furniture, art, and more can come out of a yard sale or garage sale, and normally the owners are very motivated to sell. Make sure you look out for brands and company labels, as sometimes you can find a real treasure of actual value at these things!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BlqsXjuAGab/?tagged=yardsale

Online

Shopping online at places like eBay or Depop is a great way to keep cost low and find something either super trendy or something completely antique and unique. You can also haggle more unlike the fixed prices at a regular store.

Chances are you have seen signs for an estate sale, either while walking your dog around your neighborhood or driving through an older part of town. An estate sale is basically a slightly nicer version of a yard sale; they occur after a person has passed away. You can find so many unique gems at estate sales, so get hunting!

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8Rq4QHlz3/

Typically in estate sales, the whole house is open for business; you have the chance to get an idea of how items will look inside a home. You can get amazing deals on antiques and you can find some real treasures.

Even if a company is overseeing the estate sale, they still don’t take the time and consideration to price everything to what it’s actually worth. That means that as you go around, look at the bottom of household items like glasses, vases, plates, and more, for brands you recognize names or pieces that are pieces of china. If you get them at a low price, you can often sell them later for a pretty profit.

The idea of wearing a second-hand dress on your wedding day might seem like a completely whacky idea at first, but more and more brides are opting out of new dresses for ones that have been gently loved. If you need some reasons why a second-hand dress is a right decision for you, read on.

Money

Wedding dresses can cost anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on where you get it from. If the majority of your budget is going towards only one item, don’t you think that money would be better spent on other things? Or better yet, saved? Weddings are so expensive as it is, save yourself some money and go with second-hand.

Unique

When you buy a second-hand wedding dress, you know that you are going to be the only bride wearing anything like it. Being unique on your wedding day is crucial, so don’t settle for something another bride could be wearing at the next wedding you go to, stand out with a second-hand dress.

Eco-Friendly

Buying a second-hand dress is so much better for the environment. You save all the transportation costs, as well as all the water it takes to grow the material to make the fabric, so second-hand is just much more sustainable.

When you’re furnishing a home, there is a lot of thought and money that has to go into it. A good way to save some cash, be environmentally friendly and find unique pieces if by buying second hand. A lot of people discount second-hand items because they want all new things, but in reality, things that are second hand are almost always better quality and will allow you to invest your money into new items that will last longer!

Bed Frame

A beautiful bed frame can cost you quite a bit of money, so to save on that cost, buy one-second hand! You can either go simple or something elaborate, but having a really nice bedframe gives you a great foundation to the rest of the room.

There are only 4 days remaining until we party! In celebration of our Grand Opening, we're showcasing one amazing suite each day. This one is named The Newlyweds (read why below). >>> This gorgeous balcony suite is called "The Newlyweds" for John & Ida Gross, who were given the estate as a wedding gift by Ida's parents, Herman & Bertha Marwitz. John & Ida commissioned the expansion construction in 1889 and again in 1898 to include the features and extra rooms we see today. This is one of the largest suites of the estate lined with tall windows, a private full bathroom, and connected sitting room. The bedroom overlooks the back of the property, and hand-carved claw foot king bed and deep red chairs are original to the home. The space is decorated by antique bust lamps and bedside tables, and topped with modern abstract artwork. Step into the seating area, and a beautifully large window casts natural light over the antique fireplace. The private full bath includes a tub/shower combo and a full length window carries the enchanting natural light to this side of the suite. . . . . . #CarrMansion #CarrMansionbedandbreakfast #CarrMansiongrandopening #grandopening #virtualtour #theNewlyweds #Newlywedssuite #originalwoodfloors #restoredhome #summerhome #redrug #vintagerug #roomdesign #interiordesigner #interiordesign #galveston #galvestontx #galvestonhistory #lovegalveston #coastalhome #beachhotel #boutiquehotel #openforbusiness #distinguisheddecor #woodfloors #linencurtains #antiquebedframe #whitelinens #antiquelamps #burghundycurtains

Coffee Table

Whether you want to go for a traditional coffee table, or use something like a trunk instead, buying second hand is the way to go. Having a cool and unique coffee table will set your room apart and make it unlike any other.

Art

Don’t bother spending your money on pieces of art from commercial stores that all your friends have, buy your art second-hand and you will truly have some unique pieces for your walls.

In the world of design, there will always be new innovations, reincarnations of the old, and everything in between. However, with innovation comes waste. If you are someone who loves to redecorate often with new products, that means we are just creating more items in the world that will eventually end up on a landfill, or worse. Instead, be a conscientious buyer and look into second hand and vintage decor.

Carbon Foot Print

Creating new furniture and decor takes a big toll on the environment. From the shipping to materials to packaging, the whole process creates a lot of waste. But, if you buy something used, you are eliminating all those factors and just getting what you want, a beautiful product that is at least new to you.

Cost Effective

Not only are you doing something good for the environment, but you will also likely to help out your bank account. Almost anything second hand, unless it is incredibly rare and valuable, will be cheaper than buying something new. Sometimes you can even get things for free if you look in the right places!

Style

Often designs and styles come back around, so stay ahead of the trends and instead of buying something that is a replica of something, buy the actual style!

Second-hand clothes can come in a lot of different forms; whether you’re looking online, in a charity shop, in a vintage store, or even in an app, everyone seems to be interested in the not-so-new for a variety of reasons. If you are someone who doesn’t feel comfortable with the idea of used clothes, read on and see if you don’t change your mind.

Sustainable

Buying clothes new all the time, unless they are made with sustainable fabrics can often lead to waste. As of 2016, 50% of Americans were still throwing away clothes in the garbage rather than donating them. Donating your clothes and buying second-hand makes sure that cycle ends.

Unique

There will always be one crazy trend that seems like it can only be accomplished with new clothing, but that is almost never the case. The fashion industry always recycles styles so why don’t you recycle the clothes to make it come full circle!

Clothing Swap

A great way to start off your journey into second-hand clothing is by organizing a clothing swap with your friends. Have everyone bring their old clothes together and have a free shopping spree! That way you will know where the clothes come from.

Money

Wedding dresses can cost anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on where you get it from.

This is one of the largest suites of the estate lined with tall windows, a private full bathroom, and connected sitting room. The bedroom overlooks the back of the property, and hand-carved claw foot king bed and deep red chairs are original to the home. The space is decorated by antique bust lamps and bedside tables, and topped with modern abstract artwork. Step into the seating area, and a beautifully large window casts natural light over the antique fireplace. The private full bath includes a tub/shower combo and a full length window carries the enchanting natural light to this side of the suite. . . . . . #CarrMansion #CarrMansionbedandbreakfast #CarrMansiongrandopening #grandopening #virtualtour #theNewlyweds #Newlywedssuite #originalwoodfloors #restoredhome #summerhome #redrug #vintagerug #roomdesign #interiordesigner #interiordesign #galveston #galvestontx #galvestonhistory #lovegalveston #coastalhome #beachhotel #boutiquehotel #openforbusiness #distinguisheddecor #woodfloors #linencurtains #antiquebedframe #whitelinens #antiquelamps #burghundycurtains

Coffee Table

Whether you want to go for a traditional coffee table, or use something like a trunk instead, buying second hand is the way to go. Having a cool and unique coffee table will set your room apart and make it unlike any other.

Art

Don’t bother spending your money on pieces of art from commercial stores that all your friends have, buy your art second-hand and you will truly have some unique pieces for your walls.

In the world of design, there will always be new innovations, reincarnations of the old, and everything in between. However, with innovation comes waste. If you are someone who loves to redecorate often with new products, that means we are just creating more items in the world that will eventually end up on a landfill, or worse. Instead, be a conscientious buyer and look into second hand and vintage decor.

Carbon Foot Print

Creating new furniture and decor takes a big toll on the environment. From the shipping to materials to packaging, the whole process creates a lot of waste. But, if you buy something used, you are eliminating all those factors and just getting what you want, a beautiful product that is at least new to you.

Cost Effective

Not only are you doing something good for the environment, but you will also likely to help out your bank account. Almost anything second hand, unless it is incredibly rare and valuable, will be cheaper than buying something new. Sometimes you can even get things for free if you look in the right places!

Style

Often designs and styles come back around, so stay ahead of the trends and instead of buying something that is a replica of something, buy the actual style!

Second-hand clothes can come in a lot of different forms; whether you’re looking online, in a charity shop, in a vintage store, or even in an app, everyone seems to be interested in the not-so-new for a variety of reasons. If you are someone who doesn’t feel comfortable with the idea of used clothes, read on and see if you don’t change your mind.

Sustainable

Buying clothes new all the time, unless they are made with sustainable fabrics can often lead to waste. As of 2016, 50% of Americans were still throwing away clothes in the garbage rather than donating them. Donating your clothes and buying second-hand makes sure that cycle ends.

Unique

There will always be one crazy trend that seems like it can only be accomplished with new clothing, but that is almost never the case. The fashion industry always recycles styles so why don’t you recycle the clothes to make it come full circle!

Clothing Swap

A great way to start off your journey into second-hand clothing is by organizing a clothing swap with your friends. Have everyone bring their old clothes together and have a free shopping spree! That way you will know where the clothes come from.
