Even for VIP clients, rare bags from in-demand brands can be difficult to locate. We have entire sections dedicated to simplifying those most rarified shopping pursuits on our PurseForum, but today, we’ve got an even easier way to streamline the process. From now through June 12, the Christie’s Luxury Handbags and Accessories Auction gives handbag lovers rare access to hard-to-find bags from brands like Hermes, Chanel and Celine, including limited edition, special order and exotic pieces.
Not only are handbags and accessories from these brands generally not available online, but many of the bags at this auction are virtually nonexistent without years of purchase history with a well-connected sales associate at one of the brand’s boutiques. And that’s only if you’re lucky – customers swoop in to claim these rare bags as soon as they become available. At Christie’s, though, you can shop the world’s most sought-after handbags without leaving the comfort of your home.
The auction is also open to shoppers worldwide, which opens up a world of luxury that ranges far beyond what a local boutique or department store might be able to get. After all, Christie’s position as the world’s most prestigious auction house enables access to some fabulous things.
Below, check out some of our favorite pieces from the auction or shop the full selection via Christie’s through June 12.
