Overview & History
The market for vintage and pre-owned designer handbags has surged, with iconic models from Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, and others trading actively - and the very best often holding or gaining value. Whether a single special bag or an entire collection, value depends on the maker, model, materials, condition, and - above all - authenticity. Austin Auction Gallery brings designer handbags to a broad audience of collectors and buyers.
Identifying & Marks
Each house has its own authentication markers - date codes, serial numbers, stamps, hardware, and stitching. Because counterfeits are widespread, our specialists authenticate every designer handbag before sale.
