The BrandCo team’s selection :
Our favorite luxury bags under €500
The idea that luxury is a world reserved for a certain budget is gradually giving way to a bolder, more accessible approach to fashion. Today, owning a designer piece is no longer just a matter of price, but above all of flair and a solid understanding of the second-hand market.
Pre-owned luxury makes it possible to uncover treasures under the €500 mark: vintage models, iconic pieces, or designs from older collections whose style remains unmatched. At BrandCo Paris, we have selected pieces that prove prestige, quality, and a controlled budget can go hand in hand.
The charm of structured vintage : Celine, Burberry et Gucci
Vintage models from the Maison Celine are safe bets for those seeking a sophisticated look without ostentation. Bags such as the Boston or the Top Handle Flap, featuring the signature Macadam monogram coated canvas, perfectly embody the revival of 1990s aesthetics. Blending trend appeal with durability, the Gucci Tote is also a practical and timeless piece that will stay with you for years to come.
The heritage of the great fashion Maison Louis Vuitton et Dior
With BrandCo, it is absolutely possible to own some of the most prestigious names in fashion for under €500. At Louis Vuitton, Epi leather is an excellent choice thanks to its durability and classic style, subtler than the iconic monogram. The St-Jacques, available in a range of colors, is a graphic and original model that instantly adds structure to any outfit.
The Maison Dior is no exception, with vintage pieces just waiting to enjoy a second life. Boston bags are ideal for getaways, while Crossbody bags align perfectly with today’s trend for small, everyday shoulder bags, combining retro elegance with modern practicality.
Boldness and color : Prada et Miu Miu
For those looking for a statement piece with a strong identity, Italian Maisons Prada and Miu Miu offer structured, fashion-forward designs in vibrant shades. The Prada Canapa Tote and Miu Miu Tote bags are perfect examples, with the potential to become the standout pieces of your wardrobe.
Urban modernity : MCM
Finally, for a more relaxed, urban look, MCM bags offer a chance to stand out at the best price. Adorned with the iconic Visetos motif, these models have become true symbols of contemporary luxury, perfectly balancing a confident, trendy style with the visual recognition of an iconic brand.

Why buy your luxury bag under €500 pre-loved with BrandCo
Accessibility and prestige: Gain access to the world of major luxury houses and their artisanal craftsmanship for the price of a new “premium” range bag. It’s the ideal way to treat yourself to a designer piece without compromise.
Originality and uniqueness: At this price point, you’ll often find vintage models or clutch formats that aren’t seen everywhere, guaranteeing an accessory that stands out and tells a different story from current collections.
Responsible and sustainable purchase: Investing in a pre-owned bag under €500 means actively supporting circular luxury. You give a new life to a high-quality item designed to last, while reducing the environmental impact associated with producing new goods.
Our tips for choosing the right piece at the best price
Check the condition of the material: Louis Vuitton Epi leather or Celine Macadam canvas are extremely durable. They are smart choices for a first second-hand purchase, as they age beautifully and will remain with you for many years.
Dare to choose color: On smaller or vintage models, vibrant colors are often more affordable than classic tones like black or brown, as they are less sought-after—yet they remain highly attractive and on-trend.
Prioritize versatility: If your personal style is more understated, classic and practical models are the best option. They can be worn daily, maximizing the value of your investment.
Today, luxury is about intelligence and style.
Regardless of brand or model, our selection of luxury bags under €500 proves that it is still possible to find true treasures, authentic, in excellent condition, and at the best prices.
