Shop pre-loved luxury from Louis Vuitton to Hermés this Black Friday

As Black Friday looms closer and closer, the discerning and conscious shopper knows three secrets:

1. Bargains sometimes skimp on quality
2. It’ll be a hay-day for fast fashion consumption
3. An eye for taste can sometimes be blurred by discounted charms

Having taste, supporting sustainable fashion threads and finding a bargain all in one-go seems like a tall order. Luckily, genies to grant all three wishes do exist.

Luxity —South Africa’s largest pre-owned luxury reseller— has announced that it’s dropping the prices of high-end goods from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, and Rolex. The cuts will be up to 50% at the annual Black Friday Sale.

The platform (known to provide shoppers with a platform to access designer pieces at below-store prices all year round) will offer further discounts on those below-store standards by another 25% to 50%.

Should I even be thinking about buying luxury now?

Especially as prices continue to soar, indulgences like designer items have become even more treasured. However, as many high networth individuals know, luxury items are more than just pick-me-ups or impulse purchases. They’re investment pieces.

As the co-founder of Luxity,Michael Zahariev, shares:

“Those on the lookout for luxury also understand that luxury goods have an inherent value which, unlike fast fashion items, appreciates over time. This is driven by price increases in the primary or new market. A Chanel handbag 10 years ago, for instance, would cost R35,000 new, but now it’s selling at R120,000 second-hand. Luxury goods are also made to be more durable, and people tend not to wear these items that much which also helps to retain their value.”

How does this help sustainability?

Sustainable shopping means buying or reworking items so that they’ll last longer. Ie: You’re buying less in the long run. Pre-loved luxury is an especially durable market for this model because it isn’t making more luxury items. Instead, it’s finding items that already exist a new wardrobe to adorn. Think of it as the most fashionable form of recycling.

If you’re ready to splurge a little (for less) Luxity’s Black Friday specials will be available at brick-and-mortar stores as well as online from the 25^th to the 28^th of November2022, with exclusive early bird access for established clients and Luxity newsletter subscribers.
