The market for used designer bags is growing at an astonishing pace worldwide. According to recent studies, the market for second-hand luxury fashion is expected to grow by almost 10-15% annually by 2027 and reach a value of over 70 billion US dollars. In Germany, the market for second-hand fashion is estimated at around 10 billion euros and continues to grow strongly. Research shows that around 70% of German consumers are open to buying used luxury items. This development is also driving demand for reliable authenticity checks.
