Second hand fashion getting extremely popular over the last few years just makes so much sense. On top of being sustainable, you just get incredible quality and exquisite fabrics for a much lower price than you would pay for a new piece today. Also for me there's the factor of "I used to love this collection as a teen but couldn't afford it", and now I'm getting a chance to own pieces that influenced my taste. The thrill of finding something like that makes refreshing Vestiaire Collective ten times a day that much more fun 😅
Agree. Vintage has been my jam for a long time now for most of these reasons. I low key want the trend to die so I can continue casually finding gems without thinking in the back of my mind that someone might scoop it up. Rather than before it got popular, I could take my time to browse, think and curate.. because it’ll most likely be there. 😅 It’s cool, though, I’m glad vintage is getting visibility. Great video Cassie Xx
Exactly ! I strongly suggest visiting local vintage stores. Hip ones with great curators pop up Everywhere (contrasted to the often older generations owned stores we knew some years ago). Big cities have better stores ! A friend bought the most amazing Chanel vintage on a Netherlands holiday (she is from a smaller German town) price and quality so much better than on eBay and waaaayyy better than on vestiaire ! It doesn’t always need to be Japan either ! Luxe was so popular in Europe and America 20,30 years ago too !
I have always loved hunting for really special vintage pieces! I love the “no one has this” exclusivity of it. Also the quality of course, my gran taught me to look for vintage cashmere coats because the tailoring and craftsmanship was unmatched. (Such a granny thing to say 😂) she was a dressmaker and loved fashion. Amazing video Ca$$ie!!!
I only purchase vintage/pre-loved handbags and have for years now and I can definitely see the influx of people now wanting to purchase as well. I got my first LV speedy 25 like 8 years ago for $250 in great shape! Now that bag in worse condition is like double if not triple the price pre-loved. I think it's great more people are realizing vintage is the way to go but I also liked when it wasn't so heavily popularized because I miss those deals! lol
Omg LV speedy definitely has ridiculous pricing on it (which is weird considering I see so many of them on the resale market). I’m lucky mine was still in good condition and sold within two weeks 🫠
I love listening to your views on the topics you pick and your vlogs. I purchased most of luxury fashion especially LV/Chanel 15/20 years ago and they still look amazing x
I have never been able to just buy a designer’s piece and I have bought some vintage bags and wallets. Just looking through all the vintage items on line,is like a sport. I love it!😊 By the way,Cassie..I ADORE your earrings❣️😍 Thank you for this video.🙏🏻🥰
I’ve been watching you for years. ❤ ❤❤ your videos, in-depth knowledge and humor! You put me on the map, thank you 😊!!! I agree w/ you on all points! From my pov 2 other reasons maybe why Vintage is so popular…More accessories available in certain brands, for example you can take a vintage Fendi, add an updated strap, charm and you are good to go - flexing with a known piece that looks unique & modern. Like WOW! I love this! And when you don’t want to break out your new expensive piece, reasonable vintage costs can come w/ less “panic” for day-to-day should the sky decide to open up and rain on your Parade. Now, this second point depends on how old, and it’s value. Keep on being amazing, I’m grateful.
I LOVE the yellow and blue pairing of the Swarovski earrings! Argh, so beautiful! I am a vintage boy and will always be, and considering I love Chanel, the recent price increases and quality... In moments like this I'm actually grateful for being like that 😅
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️well said Cassie! 😁 I personally always loved vintage - for it’s quality and uniqueness. I love the idea of it’s rising. Definitely! 👌🏻 You made me pull out my vintage Gucci clutch now. Lol. I’ll start wearing it tomorrow. 🤣🤣🤣Thank you!
Hi Cassie! You hit the nail on the head with every bullet point in this video! I buy the majority of my collection preowned for many of the reasons you mentioned- individuality, quality, and sometimes price haha! Fabulous video!
Vintage handbags are accessible. Current prices on our fave bags new are insane! Great video w/ your perspective. Happy birthday🎉and congrats on engagement!😊so happy for you!
The first experience that I had with buying designer vintage was with a Burberry top. I walked past a consignment shop that I had been curious about and saw it hanging (sideways) in the window display. I walked into the shop, pulled it out of the display and looked at it. It was perfect! It was my size, I had no idea it was a Burberry piece until I looked at the label. I tried it on and it fit perfectly like it was made for me! And at a fraction of the retail price! Ever since then, I have become hooked on purchasing designer vintage.
I recently purchased a dior saddle bag from 2002 Galliano, in great condition for $1700 after taxes. It was a wishlist item, and I knew I wasnt going to pay $4200 new, or $2500-3500 for a newer one on resale so i feel so lucky to have snagged it.
I am all for Vintage. I definitely changed my spending habits, focusing on consuming less. I have yet to buy any new clothing this year and when I do I will sell or donate clothing in my wardrobe. Its like I am creating my own recycle system and have imposed a clothing limit. Also focusing on personal style not trends.
I have been scouring more in thrift and vintage stores for clothing in fabrics and quality that I don't have access to. Cashmere sweaters, wool skirts, silk scarves...plus, I love a dig!
Omg I have the Pink and Rose Gold Gucci horsebit bag it is so fabulous. Picked it up in NYC consignment store on Upper West Side for $350 8 years ago. Had it out at the weekend and loads of compliments. The Rose Gold chain is incredible. Loved this video ❤️
Cassie, Mark Cross handbags, look them up. You won’t regret it! There’s one that’s so you and you’ll know it when you see it! It’s a blue/green one with ostrich feathers
Love the video! Once again I feel so informed while having a lot of fun along the way 😅 While I feel lucky to have re-edition pieces like the Fendi purple rain sequin baguette, I would LOVE to start adding vintage bags to my collection, maybe starting with a little LV Murakami multicolor monogram bag! 🥰🌈
Thank you so much for shining a light on sustainability Cassie, especially within the luxury sector. It's come such a long way since I first started working in the field and now to see thinking girl fashion Queens like you singing its praises is so freaking cool. It's the stories and one of kind vibes for me too. My parents surrounded me with vintage style stories growing up and I still have some of my Dad's killer bespoke jackets made by British tailor to the (rock)stars Tommy Nutter and Kings Road store 'Granny Takes A trip'...you would freak for them! Great video x
Your channel ring is back on!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ disclaimer: sometimes in all honesty, I just come in the videos to look a Cassie’s hands, and admire all her rings, and her new manicure 🤭
I love that the Horsebit has come back! I was too young to afford the OG back in the day & honestly the pricing for them as held well as I’ve secretly always kept an eye out 😜 I love hearing the stories of pre-loved pieces, my clients do too if I know about them as a lot of mine are usually pieces I got & it’s crazy to the Purchaser how one hasn’t used it or how well they’ve kept it which is all a bonus to them!
Perfect! Very good analysis with many important aspects and always with a touch of wit! For me it is an obstacle to buy vintage, although I would love to, because I do not really know where to go and whether the goods are really genuine and the price justified. This is also true for internet offers, and here it is added that you cannot touch, feel it. 😉
I think it is so many things, and you touched on all of those points, but I definitely think lack of quality in newer stuff along with nostalgia is really driving vintage designer. I know I've come across several videos where people have said they bought something because "I had this years ago and regretted getting rid of it" or "I always wanted this and couldn't afford it back in the day." (Love your earrings btw!)
I've always loved antique and vintage in basically all areas. I've even kept some of my parents' clothes from the 70s because you don't see some of the wild stuff they wore anymore and it's basically indestructible lol. I really started exploring this in handbags during the pandemic. Probably since I couldn't go anywhere 😅. There are some amazing pieces out there and for me the fun is in the hunt or just browsing whenever I have some down time.
As someone with a Vintage LV Epi Keepall, I personally just love the style & quality (10/10 condition used). I posted several TikToks about it and people say that it’s just more “classic”. I definitely want to get another one!
I love the story of the item and previous owner too. I have a vintage Chanel camera bag from the 90's that I can still smell the previous owner's perfume. It must have been one of favourite bags, because the smell is cemented into the bag. Luckily I love the smell of the perfume, she smells like she was a classy lady. It makes smile whenever I get a random whiff of it 💖
im not into vintage. However I m slowly building a collection that I hope I will still have in 20 years time and they will then be my own vintage pieces 🙂
i was dying to get a Strathberry when the brand stuck one on Markle and even Neiman Markus pulled them off the designer bag sales floor and put them upstairs with the novelty and home goods. sometimes "influencers" have a tragic effect for brands too
I really love hearing you talk about vintage! As someone who has a collection of mainly vintage pieces (as do a lot of people who started buying in recent years) I have so much appreciation for previous collections. I think often times people hear vintage and think the items aren’t in good condition, but amazingly there are many bags on the preloved market with lots of life left in them!! I think the preloved market truly goes hand in hand with current releases. Example: if LV released a bum bag again with an exposed zipper and removable strap, the old model would likely have a decrease in price. I had the palm springs mm backpack (old model) and when the exposed zipper version was released, the old models decreased in value! It’s so interesting how intertwined this all is. Looking forward to seeing any fun vintage finds you stumble across in 2023!
what a fantastic topic for discussion !! i think with thrifting becoming so popular and norm it was such a natural progression cause shopping vintage its like thrifting for luxury. Also, to be honest its less intense cause it can be really uncomfortable shopping in some luxury boutiques dare i say intimitading. Lastly, not only is nostalgic for a specific time in life but for a designer era, like i do miss the Galliano era when Dior was thriving in creativity, the Philo Celine era, the Ford Gucci sexy era, cause you might not vibe with the brand with its current creative director. Beautiful video kudos Cas ...
I was like, you can be bothered to faf about and scavenger hunt for something. Go shopping in and out done. But I am changing my mind, and I am definitely interested in learning more about vintage and how and where to go.
Thank you Cassie for brought up this topic! I been shopping for vintage for years and still doing it (haha)! Like you mentioned, trend always come back especially fashion world. Secondly it’s more affordable and rare! I think the most important part is… find what represents you, so you could have them longer not just for 1 or 2 seasons ❤
As always Cassie's views are on-point. I always loved and purchased second hand luxury. I have a 2003 black snakeskin Gucci horsebit clutch bag (so so condition); wanted to sell it but glad held on to wait until it become "in again, hot item". With crazy prices, regular price increases, shabby quality, and poor customer service, I am very selective what I purchase new. Lately I think that many high end brands are catering new type wealthy people who are maybe laundering their money, and who care more about brands and logos instead of quality. They line up outside of LV , Chanel etc stores and grab anything and everything. Seems like luxury has become the new fast fashion.
Simply I can't afford new and the older bags have worn so well and look great still! Longevity is something I like, I keep my bags for years and I feel like designers are just promoting constant change, I don't change that fast so older vintage bags still appeal to my sense of beauty
We see what you did where you snapped your fingers and the center zoomed in on your rings and engagement ring😂 Y2K is definitely making a comeback, we see a difference in quality from vintage versus current production, and how it is simply becoming increasingly popular with current trends. Personally, I think vintage now is holding up pretty well and I definitely agree with everything you have shared!
I had a jacket custom made for my self in 2001, I just sent it to be relined. Vintage Trend for those of us who were there for it the first time round means: Shop Your closet, and find a good Tailors, Cleaners, Shoe & Leather and have the item refurnish for considerably less than buying on line. The goal Aesthetic of Vintage is not Like New, but Well Loved and Well Cared For. great Vidi 😎☕💋
I bought a vintage baguette because it was priced soooo much lower than the new ones but as it turns out I also like how soft and floppy the old ones are compared to the updated design. Part of the appeal is very much having something others don't.
You need to try and get an appointment at the New York vintage store. It has so many high fashion vintage items. Like the bird head piece SJP wore in sex in the city wedding. Just saw a video about it Gx
Vintage pieces are classic and timeless!! You can’t go wrong when you purchase vintage item you’ll stand out different from everyone else…. So more people are going vintage these days, i love vintage collection 🥰🥰🥰.
I look forward to your videos every week. Love you❤. And I really love the way you’re rockin those Swarovski earrings! Can’t wait to get the yellow ones. BTW congratulations on your engagement!
I loved everything about this! I’m obsessed with preloved (shoes primarily) and I had the same thought when I was browsing the real real’s fine jewelry! I would absolutely Love to know the life that piece of jewelry lived prior to me (potentially) owning it and I find it really cool that I can add to that story as well
I’m Gen X. Vintage was popular in my prime, too. Except then it was 40’s, 50’s. It was a chance to express yourself and wear exclusive one of a kind on a budget. It was romantic. I’m so sad if that gets stolen away from this generation. If teens have luxe as a right of passage these days, but can’t afford it, vintage should be theirs to command and rock.
I don’t know if I should laugh or cry when you reference Y2K as vintage. Late 1990’s early 2000’s is when I starting dipping my toes into luxury so a few of those bags you referenced, I have. I can either love this or cry over this because this just video just ages me. 🤣😩
I absolutely love vintage and the hunt especially if hard to find . I think my vintage pieces are made better and have held up wonderfully. Love your earrings gorgeous ❤ Your reviews are amazing and I still say you should have your own show ❤❤❤❤
I’ve always liked vintage clothes or designer bags, I own two Gucci clutch bags both are very unique, I bought one of them in a Gucci outlet near New Jersey in the States, I fall in love with the colour of the bag is all gold and the gg’s are too, I purchased that 17 or 18 yrs ago and I’m not selling it either, my other bag was a birthday gift that my mum bought me as a surprise when she went to Italy, it’s the same bag I wanted when me and her went to Selfridges in Gucci department and my eyes lit up when saw the bag. This one is pink and the gg’s are a different colour, that was purchased in the 90’s. Cassie the Gucci bag you just mentioned in the video by friend owns one. I always wanted one back the day. I might look for a vintage one myself. This is my personal opinion the present designer bags are not good quality considering you guys pay a lot of money for, I prefer vintage designer pieces because quality is amazing. Last yr I purchased a vintage real leather and the hardware at the front was Gold plated DKNY handbag in Thift shop in Brick Lane London for £20. I got that for a steel. 2021 I purchased a gift for my friend from Choice the designer store and it was a DNKY monogram purse and the quality of it I notice it’s not like my leather bag. There is a massive difference between vintage and new collections with the luxury brands to date with the handbags now. Thanks for sharing
Good morning! I LOVE vintage, for all the usual reasons. I’d say my closet is 30/70 percent #secondhandbutgrand, some of which I’ve inherited (which makes items extra specially loved), and most I’ve discovered just bumbling around looking for something pretty, no particular era in mind. EXCEPT for my Chanel bags. Those were intentional, because I wanted the 24k hardware, and the over all quality. It can sometimes take quite a long time to find something in very good shape and reasonably priced, especially if, like me, you don’t have easy access to brick and mortar vintage shops and have to shop on line, but it’s almost always worth the wait. And it can be fun and profitable! Good hunting, Cassie, and here’s wishing a sparkly green Gucci horse bit clutch will soon be yours! ❤
I have purchased vintage bags and I can say the quality is wonderful! It's sad to see, especially for chanel, that the price increases do not match the quality. I had purchased two beautiful Fendi vintage Baguettes that are very unique for under $1000. I agree 100% with what you are saying!
I got bit by the vintage bug a few years ago and since then have bought two vintage bags (one is the Dior Double Saddle Bowler Bag in the green Diorissimo print - it’s from 1991 from when Gianfranco Ferre was at Dior. My second vintage bag is an LV Vintage Monogram Pochette Bordeaux from 1998) and I love them both! Like you said, the unique factor and that not many people have the pieces influenced my decision to get them, apart from loving the bags themselves
Honestly I never thought I could own anything luxury until an influencer introduced me to a trusted Japanese seller. Now when I buy things they come with proof of authenticity so I know it’s authentic. The prices are great and once I clean them up they’re just beautiful. Take for instance LV canvas I compared my almost 30 year old Alma it was made in 1996 the same year I graduated from high school to a new LV canvas bag and I was floored to see how thick and heavy my canvas is compared to hers. I think we were both shocked. So I think the quality is better plus the price is better. I’m really into vintage bags because I remember seeing them when I was in high school thinking to myself that I would never own one and here it is almost 30 years later and I’m starting my vintage collection of luxury bags. Great video. I really enjoyed watching 😊
Most of my bags are vintage only because those are the bags I couldn’t afford when I was still in university (and early days in my career) Good luck finding that Gucci bag! 🫶🏽
Can’t wait to go check out treasures of nyc! The Chanel cost you got there is life and now that I’m here I need to make an appointment! And now I’m off to find one of the Gucci clutches 😂
All good points especially the quality and sustainability issue. I think younger millennials helped rebrand the idea of vintage. I feel like years ago people were put off by the word vintage because it's the assumption it's someone's dead grandma's coat. Economy change I guess impacted it as people that might have been able to afford luxury lost their jobs in the pandemic and cost of living has made selling these items a must. I enjoy looking at places like luxury promise every now and then as you find cute unique pieces.
Great topic Cassie! I think there is more of an inclination to sustainability and going for vintage is in that spirit. Furthermore, the quality of fabrics and craftsmanship appeared to be superior back in the day. Plus I tend to like pieces that aren't seen everywhere around you.😃
not going to lie i always hated those gucci horsebit clutches (my mom had one) BUT i did go on the hunt when the jackie was reissued and tbh i wish i had bought more than one of them! they have gone up so much (of course) since the bag has grown in popularity. Should be noted I feel like this didnt happen as much with the diana because i lot of these vintage bags didnt hold up (they had that peely leather on the inside) at least this has been true of all the ones ive seen/people i have known who had them.
Vintage goes thru phases of popularity so I'm not really phased by it. The prices never go down as much as before though, which is annoying but it's sometimes still cheaper/better quality than new. 🤷🏽♀️
Vintage is popular due to people being tired of looking cooking cutter. Plus, one can be more creative when dealing with vintage pieces. I have a very well-curated wardrobe and still have clothing from when I bought it new starting in the early 1980s. I still have my Patrick Kelly and Willie Smith-Willie Wear original pieces, and a lot of other design company pieces like Issey Miyake when Issey was designing. I also have some handbags and jewelry that are now considered vintage. It's interesting that The Real Real is now carrying Patrick Kelly pieces although 1st Dibs has carried such pieces for years. I should have kept more of the hardcore Patrick Kelly clothing pieces, but donated some of them to an organization that provides clothing to women entering the work force. I needed more closet and clothing rack space freed up and I also changed sizes from a size 6, in the 80s, to basically a size 8 and sometimes 10 depending on cuts. Greetings from Los Angeles
I love vintage bags, actually most of my collection of luxury bags are vintage. You can not denied the quality of these items! I bought a Gucci Jackie hobo bag a couple years ago for about $400 dollars, and then Gucci released the Jackie 1961 collection, and those bags were going for over $2k.
ysl vintage bags are still pretty reasonable. honestly i like the designs a lot better than the current ysl bags. Also i might pick up a vintage baguette cause they have really cool embroidery.
Second hand fashion getting extremely popular over the last few years just makes so much sense. On top of being sustainable, you just get incredible quality and exquisite fabrics for a much lower price than you would pay for a new piece today. Also for me there's the factor of "I used to love this collection as a teen but couldn't afford it", and now I'm getting a chance to own pieces that influenced my taste. The thrill of finding something like that makes refreshing Vestiaire Collective ten times a day that much more fun 😅
All of this 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Completely agree!!! The quality from “luxury” brads is shocking these days. Case in point Tom Ford’s Gucci vs Kering Gucci
I could not agree more with all of your points of view👏🏼
Agree. Vintage has been my jam for a long time now for most of these reasons. I low key want the trend to die so I can continue casually finding gems without thinking in the back of my mind that someone might scoop it up.

Hi Cassie.. excellent information 🤗✨💫
Yes, and I’m here for it. I did a lot of vintage shopping for New York fashion week and it looks just as good.
I really love your posts on current or upcoming trends. It’s great to have that snapshot of the fashion zeitgeist.
Cassie, Mark Cross handbags, look them up. You won’t regret it! There’s one that’s so you and you’ll know it when you see it! It’s a blue/green one with ostrich feathers

Ugh the Murakami collabs are amazing!!!
Vintage dolce gabbana is my obsession....it takes me back to the 80s model like Helena christianson and Cindy Crawford and is just iconic and timeless
I so agree with the sustainability aspect too
Thank you so much for shining a light on sustainability Cassie, especially within the luxury sector. It's come such a long way since I first started working in the field and now to see thinking girl fashion Queens like you singing its praises is so freaking cool.

Great video x
Anything from Chanel Spring 1995! I love vintage! Everything in my collection makes me so happy bc it’s vintage! It feels like owning history!
What a legendary era at chanel 🤩
Yes! 90s Chanel, Tom Ford Gucci, and Galliano's Dior are my faves
The quality and designs back then were just top tier and quality has only gone down with prices going up 🫤 great video as always x
😭😭
Your channel ring is back on!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ disclaimer: sometimes in all honesty, I just come in the videos to look a Cassie’s hands, and admire all her rings, and her new manicure 🤭

I love the story of the item and previous owner too. I have a vintage Chanel camera bag from the 90's that I can still smell the previous owner's perfume. It must have been one of favourite bags, because the smell is cemented into the bag. Luckily I love the smell of the perfume, she smells like she was a classy lady. It makes smile whenever I get a random whiff of it 💖
im not into vintage.
However I m slowly building a collection that I hope I will still have in 20 years time and they will then be my own vintage pieces 🙂
My eyes keep straying to the YSL happy meal box in the background, obsessed!
those mismatched swarovski lucent hoops 💛💙 are simply glorious
Ahh thank you so much!!
i was dying to get a Strathberry when the brand stuck one on Markle and even Neiman Markus pulled them off the designer bag sales floor and put them upstairs with the novelty and home goods. sometimes "influencers" have a tragic effect for brands too
I really love hearing you talk about vintage! As someone who has a collection of mainly vintage pieces (as do a lot of people who started buying in recent years) I have so much appreciation for previous collections.
I think often times people hear vintage and think the items aren’t in good condition, but amazingly there are many bags on the preloved market with lots of life left in them!!
I think the preloved market truly goes hand in hand with current releases. Example: if LV released a bum bag again with an exposed zipper and removable strap, the old model would likely have a decrease in price.
I had the palm springs mm backpack (old model) and when the exposed zipper version was released, the old models decreased in value!
It’s so interesting how intertwined this all is. Looking forward to seeing any fun vintage finds you stumble across in 2023!
Yeah often people resell the bags they aren’t using to get the cash, there’s no issue with the bag itself
I agree with everything Kween Ca$$ie! I love vintage because I want to heal my youngself when i cannot afford them before.
Those mix n match Swarovski 😍
I love your ring on the right hand pointer finger. Please leave the link. 🥰
This is a channel on fashion economics at this point and I love it !
what a fantastic topic for discussion !! i think with thrifting becoming so popular and norm it was such a natural progression cause shopping vintage its like thrifting for luxury. Also, to be honest its less intense cause it can be really uncomfortable shopping in some luxury boutiques dare i say intimitading. Lastly, not only is nostalgic for a specific time in life but for a designer era, like i do miss the Galliano era when Dior was thriving in creativity, the Philo Celine era, the Ford Gucci sexy era, cause you might not vibe with the brand with its current creative director. Beautiful video kudos Cas ...
I was like, you can be bothered to faf about and scavenger hunt for something. Go shopping in and out done. But I am changing my mind, and I am definitely interested in learning more about vintage and how and where to go.
Thank you Cassie for brought up this topic! I been shopping for vintage for years and still doing it (haha)! Like you mentioned, trend always come back especially fashion world. Secondly it’s more affordable and rare! I think the most important part is… find what represents you, so you could have them longer not just for 1 or 2 seasons ❤
You hit the nail on the head: QUALITY 💯
As always Cassie's views are on-point. I always loved and purchased second hand luxury. I have a 2003 black snakeskin Gucci horsebit clutch bag (so so condition); wanted to sell it but glad held on to wait until it become "in again, hot item". With crazy prices, regular price increases, shabby quality, and poor customer service, I am very selective what I purchase new. Lately I think that many high end brands are catering new type wealthy people who are maybe laundering their money, and who care more about brands and logos instead of quality. They line up outside of LV , Chanel etc stores and grab anything and everything. Seems like luxury has become the new fast fashion.
Finding the latest vintage bag it bag is my life. Last week alone I snapped up two gucci horsebit clutches!
Simply I can't afford new and the older bags have worn so well and look great still! Longevity is something I like, I keep my bags for years and I feel like designers are just promoting constant change, I don't change that fast so older vintage bags still appeal to my sense of beauty
I hear you 🙌🏽💖💖
Great video. You could dedicate an entire channel on all the great vintage pieces and looks out there
Is your blue earring new? Love it
Yesssss mix matched earrings 💛💙
Yessss Cassie! We love a vintage designer piece 😍❤️🔥❤️🔥
Great topic.. love vintage pieces ❤
And love your earrings combination 🤩
I missed the low priced window on the Tom Ford Gucci Horsebit bags:( . Getting very spendy.
We see what you did where you snapped your fingers and the center zoomed in on your rings and engagement ring😂 Y2K is definitely making a comeback, we see a difference in quality from vintage versus current production, and how it is simply becoming increasingly popular with current trends. Personally, I think vintage now is holding up pretty well and I definitely agree with everything you have shared!
Can we get a moment for those hoops?!💙💛😍
I was literally at the Swarovski outlet store yesterday hoping to find those in any color!!!!
I had a jacket custom made for my self in 2001, I just sent it to be relined. Vintage Trend for those of us who were there for it the first time round means: Shop Your closet, and find a good Tailors, Cleaners, Shoe & Leather and have the item refurnish for considerably less than buying on line. The goal Aesthetic of Vintage is not Like New, but Well Loved and Well Cared For.
great Vidi 😎☕💋
I bought a vintage baguette because it was priced soooo much lower than the new ones but as it turns out I also like how soft and floppy the old ones are compared to the updated design. Part of the appeal is very much having something others don't.
You need to try and get an appointment at the New York vintage store. It has so many high fashion vintage items. Like the bird head piece SJP wore in sex in the city wedding. Just saw a video about it Gx
I love vintage designer. It’s all about the hunt!
I wish I had the hunt in me! 😂💖
Vintage pieces are classic and timeless!! You can’t go wrong when you purchase vintage item you’ll stand out different from everyone else…. So more people are going vintage these days, i love vintage collection 🥰🥰🥰.
So rare!! 🤩🤩
I look forward to your videos every week. Love you❤. And I really love the way you’re rockin those Swarovski earrings! Can’t wait to get the yellow ones. BTW congratulations on your engagement!
I loved everything about this! I’m obsessed with preloved (shoes primarily) and I had the same thought when I was browsing the real real’s fine jewelry! I would absolutely Love to know the life that piece of jewelry lived prior to me (potentially) owning it and I find it really cool that I can add to that story as well
I’m Gen X. Vintage was popular in my prime, too. Except then it was 40’s, 50’s. It was a chance to express yourself and wear exclusive one of a kind on a budget. It was romantic. I’m so sad if that gets stolen away from this generation. If teens have luxe as a right of passage these days, but can’t afford it, vintage should be theirs to command and rock.
Have you seen tge new Roberto Cavalli show? Omg...70's meet booho meets 2000's glam. Such a great return from this iconic italian brand!
I don’t know if I should laugh or cry when you reference Y2K as vintage. Late 1990’s early 2000’s is when I starting dipping my toes into luxury so a few of those bags you referenced, I have. I can either love this or cry over this because this just video just ages me. 🤣😩
I absolutely love vintage and the hunt especially if hard to find . I think my vintage pieces are made better and have held up wonderfully. Love your earrings gorgeous ❤ Your reviews are amazing and I still say you should have your own show ❤❤❤❤
I’ve always liked vintage clothes or designer bags, I own two Gucci clutch bags both are very unique, I bought one of them in a Gucci outlet near New Jersey in the States, I fall in love with the colour of the bag is all gold and the gg’s are too, I purchased that 17 or 18 yrs ago and I’m not selling it either, my other bag was a birthday gift that my mum bought me as a surprise when she went to Italy, it’s the same bag I wanted when me and her went to Selfridges in Gucci department and my eyes lit up when saw the bag. This one is pink and the gg’s are a different colour, that was purchased in the 90’s. Cassie the Gucci bag you just mentioned in the video by friend owns one. I always wanted one back the day. I might look for a vintage one myself. This is my personal opinion the present designer bags are not good quality considering you guys pay a lot of money for, I prefer vintage designer pieces because quality is amazing. Last yr I purchased a vintage real leather and the hardware at the front was Gold plated DKNY handbag in Thift shop in Brick Lane London for £20. I got that for a steel. 2021 I purchased a gift for my friend from Choice the designer store and it was a DNKY monogram purse and the quality of it I notice it’s not like my leather bag. There is a massive difference between vintage and new collections with the luxury brands to date with the handbags now. Thanks for sharing
Cassie…. We want you see you GO VINTAGE SHOPPING… in your next Video…. Real Vintage Hunting…. It would be a Blast of a Video!!!!!!!!
The RealReal is selling this vintage gucci Tom Ford era bag. It’s a Horsebit clutch and crystallized. Lizard trimmed
I have always been a vintage girl but I’m a bit older. It’s funny to see it becoming super popular when it’s my go to. Loved this video ❤thanks lovely
Long time vintage lover. Now the popularity of vintage has driven vintage prices sky high. Much harder to find a bargain.
Good morning! I LOVE vintage, for all the usual reasons. I’d say my closet is 30/70 percent #secondhandbutgrand, some of which I’ve inherited (which makes items extra specially loved), and most I’ve discovered just bumbling around looking for something pretty, no particular era in mind. EXCEPT for my Chanel bags. Those were intentional, because I wanted the 24k hardware, and the over all quality. It can sometimes take quite a long time to find something in very good shape and reasonably priced, especially if, like me, you don’t have easy access to brick and mortar vintage shops and have to shop on line, but it’s almost always worth the wait. And it can be fun and profitable! Good hunting, Cassie, and here’s wishing a sparkly green Gucci horse bit clutch will soon be yours! ❤
Loved hearing your thoughts on this!! 🤩🤩
This video is right up my alley I actually have that Gucci Horsebit bag in my car now on eBay for $400.
I have purchased vintage bags and I can say the quality is wonderful! It's sad to see, especially for chanel, that the price increases do not match the quality.
I had purchased two beautiful Fendi vintage Baguettes that are very unique for under $1000. I agree 100% with what you are saying!
Loving the mixed earrings! Have 2 vintage items and no regrets. Just dont make them and was specific items I wanted.
Hello Cassie. Yes I love some vintage pieces depending on the brand. Thanks for this good info, you are great. blessings.
I got bit by the vintage bug a few years ago and since then have bought two vintage bags (one is the Dior Double Saddle Bowler Bag in the green Diorissimo print - it’s from 1991 from when Gianfranco Ferre was at Dior. My second vintage bag is an LV Vintage Monogram Pochette Bordeaux from 1998) and I love them both! Like you said, the unique factor and that not many people have the pieces influenced my decision to get them, apart from loving the bags themselves
Honestly I never thought I could own anything luxury until an influencer introduced me to a trusted Japanese seller. Now when I buy things they come with proof of authenticity so I know it’s authentic. The prices are great and once I clean them up they’re just beautiful. Take for instance LV canvas I compared my almost 30 year old Alma it was made in 1996 the same year I graduated from high school to a new LV canvas bag and I was floored to see how thick and heavy my canvas is compared to hers. I think we were both shocked. So I think the quality is better plus the price is better. I’m really into vintage bags because I remember seeing them when I was in high school thinking to myself that I would never own one and here it is almost 30 years later and I’m starting my vintage collection of luxury bags. Great video. I really enjoyed watching 😊
Japanese resellers are great ;)
Could you let me know too? 🥺
I’m looking to go vintage too but I’m scared too. 😅
Most of my bags are vintage only because those are the bags I couldn’t afford when I was still in university (and early days in my career) Good luck finding that Gucci bag! 🫶🏽
Can’t wait to go check out treasures of nyc! The Chanel cost you got there is life and now that I’m here I need to make an appointment! And now I’m off to find one of the Gucci clutches 😂
Your eyebrows are gorgeous!
As always fabulous video‼️👏🏾👌🏾😍 now I want to spend money!!!
Love the mismatching earrings.
All good points especially the quality and sustainability issue. I think younger millennials helped rebrand the idea of vintage. I feel like years ago people were put off by the word vintage because it's the assumption it's someone's dead grandma's coat. Economy change I guess impacted it as people that might have been able to afford luxury lost their jobs in the pandemic and cost of living has made selling these items a must. I enjoy looking at places like luxury promise every now and then as you find cute unique pieces.
Great topic Cassie! I think there is more of an inclination to sustainability and going for vintage is in that spirit. Furthermore, the quality of fabrics and craftsmanship appeared to be superior back in the day. Plus I tend to like pieces that aren't seen everywhere around you.😃
Yes 🙌🏽💖💖
I absolutely love vintage items. Especially handbags, quality was way better. 😊
not going to lie i always hated those gucci horsebit clutches (my mom had one) BUT i did go on the hunt when the jackie was reissued and tbh i wish i had bought more than one of them! they have gone up so much (of course) since the bag has grown in popularity.
Should be noted I feel like this didnt happen as much with the diana because i lot of these vintage bags didnt hold up (they had that peely leather on the inside) at least this has been true of all the ones ive seen/people i have known who had them.
Could you make video about your jewelry collection?
Vintage goes thru phases of popularity so I'm not really phased by it. The prices never go down as much as before though, which is annoying but it's sometimes still cheaper/better quality than new. 🤷🏽♀️
Vintage is popular due to people being tired of looking cooking cutter. Plus, one can be more creative when dealing with vintage pieces. I have a very well-curated wardrobe and still have clothing from when I bought it new starting in the early 1980s. I still have my Patrick Kelly and Willie Smith-Willie Wear original pieces, and a lot of other design company pieces like Issey Miyake when Issey was designing. I also have some handbags and jewelry that are now considered vintage.
It's interesting that The Real Real is now carrying Patrick Kelly pieces although 1st Dibs has carried such pieces for years. I should have kept more of the hardcore Patrick Kelly clothing pieces, but donated some of them to an organization that provides clothing to women entering the work force. I needed more closet and clothing rack space freed up and I also changed sizes from a size 6, in the 80s, to basically a size 8 and sometimes 10 depending on cuts.
Greetings from Los Angeles
I unfortunately cannot get into vintage clothes but the bags are a def yes for me. Give me a Chanel or Dior saddle vintage bag and I’m all in😉………..🤗🇨🇦
I love vintage bags, actually most of my collection of luxury bags are vintage. You can not denied the quality of these items! I bought a Gucci Jackie hobo bag a couple years ago for about $400 dollars, and then Gucci released the Jackie 1961 collection, and those bags were going for over $2k.
Love it! Bit it’s getting harder & harder to hunt out the gems
ysl vintage bags are still pretty reasonable. honestly i like the designs a lot better than the current ysl bags. Also i might pick up a vintage baguette cause they have really cool embroidery.
Great topic Cassie😊❤
I hope you enjoy it
@@CassieThorpe I will!
