1. Sustainability
The facts don't lie - fashion accounts for 10% of the world's carbon emissions, and is the second largest polluter in the world (after the oil industry). As a result, "sustainable fashion" is a buzzword plastered all over social media, and many women are conscious about their environmental impact when shopping. This is where trading comes in. Trading your pre-owned luxury designer handbag not only means you are extending the life of that bag, but also directly minimizing your involvement in a cruel use-dispose cycle that threatens our environment and our world. Giving your handbag a second life with a new handbag-lover means you can reuse the resources involved in the making of that handbag, plus get yourself a new-to-you handbag - while having a zero carbon footprint! This one in, one out policy means you can do this at a low cost to both yourself and our ecosystem - it's a win-win for everyone!
2. Value
For the most part, on the preowned market (including the trading market), luxury handbags are less expensive than they are at the retail price. Therefore, trading luxury means you can still indulge in the high-end designer history and quality we all love, while saving a lot of money! Plus, some bags even appreciate over time, meaning your handbag could be considered an investment - one you can pass on to a loved one, or trade for something else! Trading means you can indulge your love of luxury handbags almost guilt-free!
3. Variety
Us handbag-lovers seem to want everything, and can you blame us? There are so many designer houses and so many designs to salivate over. Unfortunately, if you walk into a designer store, you are limited only to that season's collection. On the resale and trading market, however, the sky's the limit! You can find pieces from almost any time period, including rare. vintage Chanels to the latest Louis Vuitton collection. There's a certain thrill to finding that unique piece that no one has - and I'm sure you will experience it quite frequently here! Plus knowing you can trade your handbag for another means you can be sure you will always have enough variety in your handbag closet to never get bored!
4. Time
If you've ever tried to sell your handbag, either on a consignment website or a marketplace website, you know that it can take forever to sell it at a price you are comfortable with. And many times, you are selling it only because you want to buy another handbag anyway! Instead of selling and buying, why not just trade your bag for one you like better? It's a fuss-free way of changing your handbag closet and bringing new life to your outfits, without the seemingly endless waiting game so many of us are familiar with.
Therefore, with so many benefits to trading - preserving our environment, having endless variety, saving money and time, experiencing the rush of something new - why not make a trade today? If you have any questions, as always, feel free to contact us at shopjustinluxe@gmail.com
