Accessories, Handbags & Vintage Clothing Auctions

Vintage Fashion Auctions

Every month, we put together a series of auctions that cater to the vintage fashion community. These events are not just for the experts; they're for anyone with an interest in Vintage Fashion, Vintage Handbags, and Vintage Accessories. But we don't stop there – our Decorative Arts & Design sale is a regular feature, and we've made it a point to integrate sections dedicated to vintage items within our weekly sales, making sure there's something exciting for our audience every time.

What you'll find in our auctions is a curated selection of fashion pieces that carry the essence of the 19th and 20th centuries. Think about handbags that tell stories, scarves that evoke nostalgia, leather goods that exude craftsmanship, furs that offer a touch of luxury, and textiles, including vintage lace, that hold the threads of history. Brands like Liberty, Ossie Clarke, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Christian Dior, and Hermès grace our collections, adding a touch of brand legacy to the mix.

Our meticulous approach involves assessing the quality and significance of each item. This evaluation determines whether an item is destined for a specialist auction, where dedicated collectors seek hidden gems, or if it will be part of our general weekly sales, appealing to a wider range of vintage enthusiasts.

Our aim is to make the world of vintage fashion accessible to all – whether you're deeply involved in the collector's scene or just starting to explore the charms of the past. Our auctions provide an opportunity to connect with fashion history, to own a piece of it, and to continue the story it carries. So, if you're curious, take a step into our world and discover the allure of vintage fashion that lives on through the ages.
