WHY BUY THE REPORT ?
- Luxury handbags were considered an expensive gift until a series of crocodile skinned Hermès handbags started to break auction records around ten years ago.
- Evolving in parallel with the growth of e-commerce and social media, the secondary market for handbags is a truly modern marketplace. With tastes changing according to region, the growing number of auction sales transacting online provides an incentive for new players keen to join in.
- Once considered a frivolous purchase alongside more traditional areas of collecting, the market continues to grow in importance for its ability to attract a new and younger group of collectors to auction. With many passing freely between luxury and fine art departments at major auction houses such as Christie’s, Poly Auction, Sotheby’s and Artcurial, luxury handbags are the tip of the iceberg of a secondary market for luxury which threatens to redefine the auction landscape.
- Today, the market attracts collectors, resellers, dealers and the ultra wealthy in an ever increasingly popular collecting category.
- The report contains ten years’ worth of data including total sales, individual prices and indexes on three key brands as well as information on online platforms. With Q&As from the leading industry experts and a background on the evolution of the auction market, the report is ideal for auction houses and collectors as well as wealth managers and anyone wanting a comprehensive overview of this exciting market.
