Are logo handbags dead? Are Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas and Gucci Signature canvas things of the past? The question of whether or not they're still relevant has been floating around for a while, and you can probably guess our opinion. We'll always love our LV and GG covered bags. They have heritage, unmistakable panache, and gorgeous craftsmanship. Our customer data tells us that we're not alone, and logo handbags continue to sell. However, we've seen some industry statistics showing that the days of mid-priced logo handbags (like Michael Kors) are over. It wasn't so long ago that the MK logo was everywhere. For that matter, so was Coach's C-emblazoned Signature canvas. But these mid-priced brands' newer styles are turning away from logos in favor of solid color leather and saffiano leather. What's changing the face of the logo handbag market?
In a nutshell, change is coming from millennials and individualistic fashion. Look on Who What Wear and The Sartorialist, and you'll see a seismic shift in the ways people dress. Street fashion pics depict thrift store finds worn with Chanel bags, jeans distressed every which way, and a bevy of deconstructed silhouettes. Mid-priced logo handbags don't fit anywhere in this picture. Heritage logos from brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci most certainly do, but how? Because of their histories, LV and GG logos have automatic elite statuses. There will always be customers for what heritage brands have to offer. When you carry an LV Speedy, it has a way of making you magically feel pulled together. For this reason logo handbags will always have their places in fashion. They are instantly recognizable and total fashion classics, but can they be freshened up a bit?
Absolutely! Millennials are proving that there's room for reinterpretations of these logo classics, and that they can be worn in playful ways. Whether paired with cut-off jeans or adorned with stickers, logo-emblazoned bags can be styled in ways that breathe new life into them. We love the lighthearted ways that traditional designer bags are being worn now, and hope this millennial-inspired individualism continues... we have a hunch it will.

I recently purchased a YSL bag from Couture USA and am thrilled with my experience! The bag is in pristine condition, authentically verified, and a fantastic value for a high-end piece. The selection of luxury bags is impressive, with curated styles from top designers. Customer service was friendly as always and efficient, making the process smooth. Highly recommend for anyone seeking pre-loved designer gems!
Thanks Amber!
This is my second order and again they did not disappoint! I absolutely love my purchase and it looked better in person which delighted me even more.
I love here. Bags are in great condition.
I LOVE this store! It has the biggest selection and best quality I have come across. The staff are so nice and accommodating.
I would highly recommend you buy from here.
I always have a positive experience with Amber and Alina. Whether it’s in store or purchasing online, it’s always fun and positive. The products are beautiful and authentic. I always feel special. After so many years, it’s like visiting friends when I walk into store.
Very nice luxury boutique. Girls working there are so friendly. Amber was very patient & helpful. You can find like new bags way under retail. Fun place to shop!
This was my first time visiting this designer consignment shop, and wow—next level! The selection is incredible: Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior… row after row of stunning bags at amazing prices. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, and the owner even came out to introduce herself—she’s an absolute wealth of knowledge.
I wasn’t even in the market for jewelry, but I ended up falling in love with (and taking home!) a white ceramic and rose gold Bulgari ring at a fantastic deal. I’m officially hooked and will definitely be back!
It’s always a fun experience to stop by and chat and see what’s new. This time I came away with the cutest LV phone bag. I’ve been wearing it ever since.
LV bag exactly as described in Excellent condition. I asked for a few more pictures of the purse and they were promptly posted. Item arrived on time as expected and I could track my package from start to finish to ensure I was home to sign for it. I LOVE my bag and will be purchasing from Couture USA again!
Great Price for a great bag! Exactly what the pictures showed!
I brought 2 bags here and love them! They are great quality and I have no issues with them.
I absolutely love shopping at Couture! I’ve been a customer since 2009! Catherine, Amber and Alina are amazing and the designer choices are beautiful and endless. Thank you for being a trustworthy local designer shop.
Amazing selection and everyone was so helpful!! Dont regret spending my money here and will be back for more!
This store allows you to truly see, feel, and try on every bag you have ever been interested in, while providing honest insights to help you avoid a buying mistake. Their inventory is great and the prices are fair. I walked out with two bags and shop their website daily. Highly recommend.
