Fashion & Leather goods

Auctions Offered by the Luggage and Accessories Department

The auctions organized by the Luggage and Accessories Department feature a fine selection of vintage items of true quality, signed by prestigious brands. The label and condition remain absolute criteria for the creators, collectors, and fashion addicts who frequent these sales.

The Fashion Department of Aguttes, part of the Luxury and Art of Living division, specializes in fine pieces of leather goods, luggage, and Haute Couture. We can also present special collections for sale from a complete wardrobe of signed pieces.

The Vintage Trend for Luxury Bags and Branded Trunks

There is a phenomenon in the fashion industry reflecting the new habits of our buyers. The trend is towards vintage, and the choices of fashion enthusiasts focus on pieces that are unique enough to stand out and recognizable enough to be in tune with the times.

Today, many designers draw unabashedly from the past and say so. They bring back into vogue shapes and materials that were considered "dated." The second-hand market in vintage fashion is thus thriving.

The Great Names in Leather Goods and Luggage

Just like Haute Joaillerie, France is also internationally recognized as a fashion hub. The excellence and craftsmanship of leather and luggage artisans make the pieces that come from their workshops precious and desirable.

Handbags, trunks, large travel bags, luggage, and wallets, when signed by big names like Goyard, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Gucci, Fendi, Chloé, Céline, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry, Prada, and Hermès attract many enthusiasts.

Iconic Bag Models

Iconic bag models are timeless, recognizable by their designs, and remind those who carry them that they share the tastes of the stars for whom they were designed.

Among them, the Birkin and Kelly bags from Hermès are two essentials of French luxury leather goods. Available in leather, canvas, exotic skins... They are now produced only on demand, and the wait for new orders takes years. This is a sufficient reason to justify the soaring prices at auctions.

Others are seduced by the quilting of the 2.55, also known as the Timeless from Chanel, which is also a great classic of leather goods. Designed in February 1955, which gave it its name "2.55," it has since been part of all the collections of the house on rue Cambon, in tweed and leathers of multiple colors.

The Lady Dior bag, named after Princess Lady Diana, who never parted with it, is timeless. This rectangular and rigid bag sports the four letters D-I-O-R in gold or silver attached to one of its handles. It comes in several materials and several sizes.

Good to Know: Our Luggage and Accessories Department organizes two auctions per year in Paris or online. The department's calendar follows Parisian events and fashion shows like Paris Fashion Week. The department benefits from the powerful network of buyers from the entire Art of Living division, particularly from the jewelry and watch departments.
