Five bags topped our end of summer blowout sale: a Hermès Kelly 25 in Vert Criquet, a Hermès Constance wallet in alligator, two Chanel classics and the everyday Hermès Evelyne, with savings up to almost CAD 5,000 off retail. Here are the picks and the savings behind them.
What did the blowout sale include?
The sale spanned brands including Hermès, Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and many more. Prices were available until Monday, August 29 at 12 PM MST, and the event was extended to September 10 due to popular demand. Here are the five picks we kept coming back to.
The top 5 picks, bag by bag
1. Hermès Kelly 25. A classic, timeless bag and a significant investment. Buying pre-owned skips the boutique wait. Size 25 is the most popular everyday size, big enough for the essentials, and it wears crossbody or top-handle. Vert Criquet is the colour story: unique, trendy, and part of green's big moment in 2022.
2. Hermès Constance Wallet in Alligator. A VIP Hermès item that is difficult to find in boutiques, at an unbeatable price. Wear it as a wallet, or add a converter to turn it into a wallet on chain.
3. Chanel Classic Vintage ML Flap. Almost CAD 5,000 cheaper than retail. The most popular size, with 24K gold hardware, and Baby Sakura Pink is genuinely hard to find on the vintage market.
4. Hermès Evelyne. Built for every day, especially in black. Understated luxury for low-key wearers: not flashy, still a statement, and this one came as a full set in excellent condition.
5. Chanel Classic Jumbo. A classic for any season at more than CAD 4,000 under retail. Full set, excellent condition, and beige suits almost everything.
How much could you save?
The Vintage ML Flap was priced almost CAD 5,000 below retail, the Classic Jumbo more than CAD 4,000 below, and the Constance wallet was described as an unbeatable price. That is the case for buying pre-owned in one sale.
