It´s also a way to flip the bird at the outrageous 27% VAT where I live - a sport I can´t resist :giggles:
Love it! Now that's what I call added value!

I have biught preloved bags both from ebay or consignment stores, either because they would have been pretty expensive if I had bought them new or beause they have been discontinued.
But there is another reason too.
The fact they have been carried makes me less scared of wearing them.
I remember a very expensive bag I had bought from a boutique and which remained in its box for years before I sold it. I had never worn it. I was terrified at the idea of scratching it or ruining it with colour transfer.....
Lesson learnt from that experience.....

Many so-called pre-loved are hardly loved at all, they've sat in their boxes unworn and just waiting for someone to adopt it
