I suspect not many people realize that Japan has many exclusive products produced under brand authorization. If you've traveled to Japan, you'll know that department stores are filled with countless local specialties and souvenirs. I'm not referring to the food items in the basement levels, of course! On the upper floors, you'll find special authorized productions by certain brands that are unique to Japan. They aren't even available through the brand's main sales channels. For example, in earlier times, Celine authorized several Japanese textile companies to produce textiles, including various household goods, which are incredibly practical. Moreover, they were sold at extremely friendly prices, making them perfect for both gifting and personal use, and vastly different from the price positioning of the brand's boutiques and specialty stores! However, Celine's authorization contracts with these Japanese companies have long since ended, 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 out of production for many years, just like pre-owned bags! Each one is a rare find, and once it's gone, it's gone! As a small aside, the reason for these authorized products was that luxury brands began to look towards Asia. Japan's economy was booming at the time, and it was likely the most "affluent" in Asia then. So, as many brands entered Japan, they made various arrangements in response to the local culture. Among these, the Japanese culture of gift-giving is deeply ingrained and widespread. If you watch Japanese dramas, you know that Japanese people give gifts very frequently. They give gifts readily for any occasion; holidays and birthdays are standard, but they even give small gifts to neighbors when they move. It's always better to give too much than too little. The country already had many factories producing items to meet various gifting needs, with highly mature and unique techniques. Therefore, many brands signed authorization agreements with Japanese companies for self-production. These products were typically sold only in department stores. These branded gift boxes are very popular in Japan, offering good presentation and reasonable prices, making them a safe choice for any gift. Having a "brand" name is sufficient to show respect when gifting to relatives, friends, or superiors. Plus, Japanese craftsmanship is truly exquisite and never fails to impress! . . . ⚐⚑˒˒CELINE large square handkerchief. Each style is unique and only one is available per listing. Once sold, it's usually impossible to find the same one again! Most still have their original stickers (if applicable, they are shown in the photos). A small number are missing stickers, 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 cheaper. The add-on price is truly exceptional. Please contact me before ordering to adjust the price. Regarding handkerchiefs, I believe most customers in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan used them more frequently only in childhood, resorting to tissues as they grew older. However, the Japanese handkerchief culture (yes... it has evolved from an item to a culture) is deeply ingrained from childhood to adulthood and has never changed! In Japan, whether it's children, men, or the elderly, a handkerchief is a basic item carried in their bags, due to various factors, likely environmentalism + decorum + politeness. You can find more details online; I won't elaborate too much. In short, if you're living in Japan and don't have a handkerchief, you're likely an outsider. Japanese handkerchief production techniques are extremely advanced. Don't underestimate this small piece of cloth; upon closer inspection, you'll be amazed by its exquisite details! For example, there's double-sided embroidery in two colors, hidden embroidery, various materials creating a subtle sheen with similar colored threads, hot stamping in gold and silver, hot stamping in white and colors, etc. There are also many material options: some are soft cotton, gentle enough for babies, while others are made of breathable linen perfect for summer, drying quickly, etc. The patterns are not only intricate, but the details are such that they won't fade even after many washes. Even the hot-stamped gold and silver won't lose their powder! Many are so beautiful they resemble works of art and can even be framed for decoration. The most important point is that many of these techniques are unique to Japan. Even the high-end full silk scarves produced in Europe by the brand may not possess the same level of detail and exquisiteness as a small Japanese handkerchief. But you might ask: What can I do with a handkerchief if I don't use it for cleaning? The uses of a handkerchief extend far beyond wiping your mouth or sweat. They can be used as decorative accessories! You can hang them on bags or tie them to bags. This is an excellent habit for luxury bags and pre-owned bags, especially for Vintage items. Their greatest value lies not in their price but in their increasing rarity in the world. Therefore, using them requires a habit of protection. Hanging them on a bag adds a small decorative touch, and tying them to the strap can directly protect the most frequently used and easily aged areas, keeping them clean and preventing accidents. I personally experienced an incident at a workshop where someone nearby accidentally spilled dye water on my bag strap. Fortunately, I had habitually tied a scarf to my strap! My bag was saved from the accident that time, although one spot on the handkerchief became unremovable... But I'd much rather it be the handkerchief than the strap! Additionally, a handkerchief can be used to adjust the length of overly long straps. You can find detailed tutorials online for tying methods; I find this use quite unique. My most frequent use is for home decor. A long time ago, I developed a habit of using large scarves/handkerchiefs to cover idle decorative items at home, primarily for dust protection, as my home is very dusty. Items left in one place for just two or three days would accumulate a thin layer of dust. When the cover cloth gets dusty, I simply take the whole piece to wash, which is convenient. Covering with plain colored cloth or handkerchiefs can look a bit strange (like an abandoned house with covered furniture)... so I've always had the habit of using scarves to cover things around the house. The uses for handkerchiefs and scarves are truly endless and very personal. In any case, having one or two extra small accessories is not a problem. When folded into small squares and placed in a bag, they don't take up much space and can be used in any unexpected situation, even for wiping bags or people on rainy days.

In the past, most pre-owned items were handmade, featuring the warmth of craftsmanship rather than mass production. The skill of artisans was far more delicate than that of machines, just as everyone appreciates products handcrafted by artisans! However, today, the vast majority of processes are done by machines with minimal human assembly, losing the delicacy of the past. The simplest and most direct way to see this is by comparing the detailed patterns of recent brand reissues with the original patterns from older eras. The level of detail in the patterns alone is completely different. If you love monograms, you must look for pre-owned items! Truly! In terms of style, older pieces were simpler, timeless, and enduring. Many current new designs are actually revivals of older styles. However, new items are priced higher than older ones. New designs are typically based on older models, with added details or design modifications. The final product often ends up being more complex (or strange......) than the older versions. I believe as we grow older, we all understand one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As we age, our clothing choices tend to return to basic styles because the more basic, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older pieces is also superior to newer ones. If you understand leather, you'll notice that the materials in new items are mostly inferior to older ones. This is mainly because the cost of high-quality raw materials is too high now, and their availability is less than before. Earth's resources are dwindling! Furthermore, brands back then did not have the widespread presence they do now... Most customers had a certain income and certain expectations for the finished products. There was no "fast fashion culture" back then; a bag was expected to be used by the customer for many years. The difference between new and old eras is clearly visible in the hardware. Many new hardware pieces oxidize and discolor after just one or two years, but older models typically do not. Besides the high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, hardware from earlier eras was plated with real K gold! It's worth noting 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 well-preserved, can still shine brightly today. As for the new models available now, from what I know of the brands, none of their hardware contains K gold anymore, which is why they oxidize so easily. Many people say buying Vintage bags is a form of alternative investment, as they rarely depreciate and often appreciate in value. This is because well-preserved pre-owned bags are becoming increasingly rare in the market, with fewer available each day. Remember, each of them is a discontinued item. The number of existing pieces in the world is finite, so they will only become fewer, more expensive, and harder to find. Moreover, many brands periodically increase their prices, and each increase drives up the market price for pre-owned items. Or, if a brand releases a "reissue," the reference or similar styles of Vintage pieces will see a sharp price increase! Add to this the fact that K-pop and J-pop celebrities have been favoring vintage items in recent years. Once a particular style is worn by a celebrity, its price skyrockets, truly skyrockets. This is because, for a period, many people will frantically search for that style or a similar alternative, causing the prices of those few items to multiply...... Therefore, Vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy early; 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 collections earlier. I can no longer find them, and if I do, the price is astronomical... But the problem is, even knowing it's astronomically priced, you're forced to buy it 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 care instructions on a small tag inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to give my bags a once-over when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (so each seasonal change is a major undertaking...|||). 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 to be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is something I love, which is why I collect them. I hope you will love them too and be able to preserve them for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you're interested in purchasing, please message me with any questions. Feel free to ask anything.
