• People love luxury handbags, but for many, the price is a huge obstacle. 
• Rebag gives you the opportunity to buy authentic second-hand designer bags that look like new, for less.
• By acting as the middleman between those who want to sell their old luxury bags and those who want to buy new ones, Rebag can get great prices for both parties.

Over the past few years, there has been serious growth in the luxury-goods market. In 2017 alone, Millennials contributed to an 85% surge in the sector. When one thousand dollars can pay your rent and then some, it can seem excessive to drop that money on a single purse. Yet, for many, the appeal of luxury handbags is undeniable. The leather is softer, the structure sturdier, and many of the designs iconic.

A beautiful, designer handbag can take an outfit from average to avant-garde. On an average budget, though, luxury bags might be out of the question. That's when you turn to Rebag, a site that lets you buy and sell authentic designer handbags.

Rebag sells authentic second-hand bags from the most sought-after brands. The company only accepts bags from an exclusive list of fewer than 50 designers — Gucci, Prada, and Chanel among others.

Rebag won't just accept any bag from a luxury brand, either. There are strict guidelines on what condition bags must be in in order to be accepted.

You'll need to send in some photos and details on the condition of the piece, and if Rebag deems it worthy of resale, you'll be given a quote. Best of all, you get to keep 100% of the quoted price once you send the bag in to be resold.

As a buyer, Rebag makes the process easier for you, too. If you're questioning the authenticity of the bags on the site, Rebag outlines the methods its team uses to spot a fake.

You can shop the site by collection, price, brand, color, and more. When you stumble upon a bag you love, you'll a great deal of information on everything from the model to the condition it's in, so you won't be surprised by any unexpected scratches or wear and tear. You'll also see the estimated retail price, which sometimes can be $1,000+ more than the Rebag price — so you can decide for yourself if you think it's a good deal. 

Rebag also has an app, which you can download on your smartphone to speed up the buying or selling process — or to just browse the beautifully curated selection whenever. 

At the end of the day, the bags you'll find on Rebag are by no means cheap — they're still very expensive. If you really want a luxury bag though, you can save a lot of money by choosing to purchase one second-hand on the site.

Additionally, you can find some cool, vintage pieces that you wouldn't be able to find in a retail store today.

Because it's well-organized, well-presented, and well-curated — Rebag is sure to make any hangbag aficionado swoon.
