I suspect not many people are aware that Japan has numerous exclusive products produced under brand authorization. If you've traveled to Japan, you'll know that department stores are filled with all sorts of local specialties and souvenirs. I'm not referring to the food and delicacies on the B2 level, of course! On the upper floors, you'll find items specially authorized and produced by certain brands, unique to Japan. These might not even be available through the brand's primary sales channels. For instance, in earlier times, Celine authorized several Japanese textile companies to produce various textile products, including a range of home goods, which are incredibly practical. Moreover, the selling prices were extremely friendly, making them perfect for both gifting and personal use, with a significant difference compared to the pricing at brand boutiques. However, Celine's authorization contracts with these Japanese companies have long since expired, so even if you visit Japan now, you won't be able to find them anymore... These are Japanese limited editions that have been completely discontinued for many years, much like pre-owned bags. Each one is a rare find! As a small aside, the reason for these authorized products back then was that luxury brands began to look towards Asia. Japan's economy was booming, and it was likely the most "affluent" in Asia at the time. As many brands entered Japan, they made various arrangements in response to the local culture. Among these, the Japanese gift-giving culture is extensive. Anyone who has watched Japanese dramas knows that Japanese people frequently exchange gifts, often without hesitation. The country already had many factories producing products to meet diverse gifting needs, with highly mature technology and unique offerings. Consequently, many brands entered into licensing agreements with Japanese companies for self-production. These gift sets were typically sold only in department stores. Such branded gift sets were very popular in Japan, primarily due to their appealing presentation. Having a "brand name" made them presentable for gifting to relatives, friends, or superiors. . . . ⚐⚑˒˒CELINE large square handkerchief. Each piece is unique and available in limited quantities. Once sold out, it's usually impossible to find the same item again! Most still have their original stickers attached (if applicable, they are shown in the photos). Some may be missing the sticker, but all are brand new and unused, perfect for gifting or personal use. Sizes range from 45-55CM. Purchasing this as an add-on to a pre-owned bag order will be much more affordable. The add-on price is exceptionally good. Please contact me before ordering to adjust the price. Regarding handkerchiefs, I imagine most customers in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan used them more frequently in childhood, resorting to tissues as they grew older. However, the Japanese handkerchief culture (yes... it has evolved from an item into a culture) is deeply ingrained from childhood and has never changed! In Japan, whether it's children, adults, or the elderly, a handkerchief is a staple in their bags, for various reasons, likely including environmental consciousness, dignity, and politeness. You can find more details online; I won't elaborate too much. In short, if you live in Japan and don't carry a handkerchief, you're likely not Japanese. Japanese handkerchiefs boast extremely high manufacturing technology. Don't be fooled by their small size; upon closer inspection, you'll find exquisite details that will astound you! Examples include two-tone double-sided embroidery, hidden embroidery, the use of subtly different colored threads to create a lustrous effect, gold and silver foil stamping, colored foil stamping, and more. There's also a wide variety of material choices, from soft cotton gentle enough for a baby to breathable linen perfect for summer with rapid drying properties. The patterns are not only intricate, but the details are such that they won't fade even after numerous washes. Even the foil stamping remains intact without losing its powder! Many are so beautiful they resemble works of art, suitable for framing as decoration. The most crucial point is that many of these techniques are unique to Japan. Even the more expensive silk scarves produced in Europe by the brand today don't possess the same level of detail as a single small Japanese handkerchief. But you might ask: "What can I do with a handkerchief if I don't use it for cleaning?" The uses for a handkerchief extend far beyond wiping your mouth or sweat. They can be used for decoration! You can hang them on bags or tie them around them. This practice is excellent for preserving both designer and pre-owned bags, especially vintage ones. The greatest value of a vintage item isn't its price but its rarity in the world. Therefore, using it requires care. Hanging it on a bag adds a small decorative touch, while tying it around a strap can directly protect the most frequently used and easily worn areas, keeping them clean and preventing accidents. I personally experienced this once at a workshop when the person next to me accidentally spilled dye on my bag strap. Fortunately, I had habitually tied a scarf around my strap! My bag was saved that day, though the scarf had an ink stain that wouldn't wash out... but I'd much rather sacrifice a scarf than a bag strap! A handkerchief can also be used to adjust the length of an overly long strap (I can provide details on how to tie it). My most frequent use, however, is for home decoration. For a long time, I've made it a habit to use large scarves or handkerchiefs to cover decorative items or unused objects at home, primarily for dust protection. My home gets very dusty, and anything left untouched for two days will accumulate a thin layer of dust. When the covering cloth gets dusty, I simply remove it and wash it, which is convenient. Covering with plain colored fabric or handkerchiefs can look a bit odd (like an unoccupied house with cloths draped over things)... which is why I've always used scarves and handkerchiefs around the house. The uses for handkerchiefs and scarves are truly endless and personal. In any case, having one or two extra small accessories is not a problem. When folded into small squares, they don't take up much space in your bag and can be used in any unexpected situation, like wiping your bag or yourself on a rainy day. If you purchase a handkerchief as an add-on to a pre-owned bag order, there will be a special offer.

Each handkerchief has individual details and unfolded views, but they cannot be displayed here. Please message me to request them. Due to the unique nature of pre-owned orders, all sales are final, with no returns or exchanges. Please examine the photos carefully before purchasing. ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ | Rating | Brand New, Unused | Size | Square, between 45-55cm | Color | / | Material | Cotton | Origin | Japan ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ The main reason I love pre-owned bags is that the materials from bygone eras are vastly superior to those in modern new items. In the past, most pre-owned items were handmade, imbued with the warmth of craftsmanship rather than mass production. The skill of artisans was undoubtedly far more delicate than that of machines, just as everyone appreciates products crafted by skilled artisans! However, today, the vast majority of processes are mechanized with minimal human assembly, losing the delicacy of the past. The simplest and most direct way to see this is to compare the intricate details of vintage brand monograms with the newer "revival" versions. The level of detail in the monogram patterns alone is entirely different. If you love monograms, you must seek out pre-owned items! Truly! In terms of style, older designs were simpler, timeless, and enduring. Many new designs today are actually revivals of older styles. However, new models are priced higher than their vintage counterparts. New designs are typically based on older models, with added details or modifications. The final product often ends up more complex (or peculiar...) than the older versions. As we mature, we all understand one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As we age, our clothing choices often return to basic styles because the more fundamental, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older items is also superior to newer ones. If you understand leather, you'll notice that the materials in new items are often inferior to older ones. This is mainly because the cost of high-grade raw materials is too high today, and their availability is less than before. Earth's resources are dwindling... Furthermore, brands back then didn't have the "ubiquitous" presence of numerous branches as they do now. Their clientele mostly had a certain income and certain expectations for the finished product. There was no "fast fashion culture" back then; a bag was expected to be used for many years. The difference between new and old eras is clearly visible in the hardware. Many new hardware components oxidize and discolor after just a year or two of use, but older models typically do not. Besides the high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, hardware from earlier eras was often plated with real K-gold! It's worth mentioning that Chanel Vintage is expensive for a reason; many of its clasps and chains contain real gold, certified by gold merchants! Therefore, even Vintage bags from as early as the 60s and 70s, if properly preserved, can still gleam today. As for the new items available now, from my knowledge of the brands, none of their hardware contains K-gold anymore, making them prone to oxidation. Many people say buying a Vintage bag is a form of alternative investment because they rarely depreciate and often appreciate in value. This is because the number of well-preserved pre-owned bags on the market is decreasing, and each one that disappears is gone forever. Remember, each of these is a discontinued item. The number that exists in the world is finite, so they will only become fewer, more expensive, and harder to find. Moreover, many brands increase their prices periodically, and each increase drives up the prices in the pre-owned market. If a brand releases a "reissue," the Vintage reference or similar styles will see a sharp price increase! Adding to this, in recent years, Japanese and Korean celebrities have favored vintage items. Once a particular model is seen on a celebrity, its price skyrockets, truly skyrockets. This is because, for a period, many people will frantically search for that specific model or a similar alternative, causing the prices of those few models to increase exponentially... Therefore, Vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy longer; buy late, pay more" (this is not an advertising slogan... it's a truth in the pre-owned world...). This is my personal experience; I regret not acquiring certain series earlier. I can no longer find them, and even if I do, the price is astronomical. But the problem is, even knowing it's an astronomical price, you're compelled to buy, because waiting will only mean a higher price (unless the condition is poor). I am often asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I will include detailed instructions on a small note inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to take them out for maintenance when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (which makes it a huge undertaking each season...|||). Actually, pre-owned bags aren't that troublesome. When you're new to it, you just need to get into the habit of regular maintenance and cherishing your bag. Once you form the habit, it's not difficult. The materials of pre-owned bags are inherently excellent. As long as you don't use them roughly and preserve them properly, they can easily last another ten years and be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag I collect is one I genuinely love, so I hope you will love it too and preserve it for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you are interested in purchasing, please feel free to message me with any questions. I am looking for discerning buyers who appreciate pre-owned items ⸜❤︎⸝. ⚜️ All copyrights and trademarks belong to the respective brand of this product. ⚜️
