Five foxy favourites: highlights from the Vernon Fox handbag sale
19 April 2022 Most of us could stand to be a little greener when it comes to our fashion choices, but how to balance an eco-conscience with a killer look?
The top estimated lot at Vernon Fox's handbag sale is this 2010 Lady Dior lamb leather handbag. It is used but is catalogued as being in excellent condition and has an estimate of £800-1000. View the catalogue entry here.
One great option is to look to auction. Here you can find all kinds of fabulous fashions including vintage and new looks.
The focus is on handbags this week at Folkestone saleroom Vernon Kent, which holds a timed online sale concluding April 27. The Handbags: Collector’s & High Fashion Sale comprises 50 lots ranging including such recognisable names as Balenciaga, Channel and Dior. Here we pick out five to watch – or even bid for yourself.
Auction doesn’t always mean used, and if you love fashion (or were inspired by Lady Gaga’s recent outing in House of Gucci), consider this new Gucci Broadway handbag in green and red. It is estimated at £500-600. View the catalogue entry here.
Bumbags are back, making this Loewe quilted bumbag in dark olive green particularly appealing. It is offered with an estimate of £320-370. View the catalogue entry here.
Seeking a bit of colour in your life? Try this Jacquemus Le Grand Bambino bag in pink, estimated at £320-370. View the catalogue entry here.
Not every lot stretches into the three figures. For example, this Wicker Wings mini shou leather trim crossbody bag in green has an estimate of £60-70. View the catalogue entry here.
