Where To Buy Designer Bags In Manila For Less

2 min read By eCompareMo on August 7, 2017

Luxury handbag collectors are making it an income-generating venture to gratify their needs while getting their money back at the same time. Their ultimate goal? Keep making room for new acquisitions.

This is the “pre-loved” industry as we know it–providing an avenue both for frugal fashion enthusiasts and luxury fanatics who need fast cash since the first Gucci Jackie came out in the ’50s.

Danee Samonte, who writes a column at The Philippine Star, conducted her own survey and found out that the most preferred luxury brands of Filipinos are Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, and Prada. Chanel bags are an all-time favorite, yet Hermes, particularly the Birkin, remains the most coveted among collectors.

If you’re not eyeing one particular brand and want to explore your options, there are under-the-radar shops that carry a variety of sough-after branded leather goods like Coach, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Longchamp, Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, and Celine.

Here are some of the most popular spots where you can purchase your next designer purse and genuine arm candy.
