Are Logo Handbags On The Way Out?
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.
Let us know! Do you think logo handbags are fading? What do you think of how they're being worn in street fashion?
Let customers speak for us
Item came fast, was in ex cement condition. I would order from here again!
Beautiful Tiffany diamond bracelet from my husband. Excellent quality, delivered quickly and as always, stellar service from the team at Couture! Many thanks!
If you're into fashion and appreciate the design detail and pop for your wardrobe you can achieve through the fashion greats, shop at this store. I own a Burberry purse I paid full price for one at around $2700 and exact bag was available here for $1000. The staff are friendly and positive - not what you would typically experience in the full retail establishment.
I bought the Palm Springs Mini Reverse in excellent condition. I would actually say it was more like brand new condition. Highly recommend this company. 100% satisfied!
They were very accommodating to hold off on shipping until I moved into my new home and I’m pleased with my new Gucci bag. It arrived as advertised and when I had an issue with the NFT scan, someone called immediately to sort it out and help me do that. Very pleased.
Quality bags and wonderful staff!
Had the best experience buying my new sunglasses! Loved the selection and being able to try everything on in the store.
Thoroughly happy with my purchase. Amber was lovely. So many bags to choose from. I love my Prada bag. Like new condition means it looks brand new. Perfect condition.
I’ve had an LV bag on my bucket list for a very long time. I noticed CoutureUSA on Facebook recently and decided to visit their Tampa location as I could never buy an LV online without seeing it in person first. I was a bit skeptical having never been in a consignment store before; however, I was very impressed with the high end products offered, condition and pricing. I purchased a beautiful LV bucket 🩷with the assistance of Amber who was just fabulous. I highly recommend this Tampa boutique and purchasing an authentic designer item. I will be back in the future and always checking out their website for new arrivals!
The staff were so lovely and
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.
