People often wonder why they should buy used luxury goods. Does it pay off? Aren't the items just in poor condition and still priced high? Why should I buy used luxury goods?
For the environment
Overproduction of goods has incredibly negative effects on our planet. Clothing and accessories in mass production often end up in landfills and are often made from environmentally unfriendly and toxic materials that are even difficult to dye.
By purchasing high-quality products like luxury brands, you are making a difference. Instead of repeatedly buying poorly made items, why not choose luxury goods that have already served their purpose but still have plenty to offer?
At Attikk, we have had bags in incredibly good condition that have reached up to 50 years of age. Why not extend their life even further and make our Mother Earth happy along the way?
For the savvy shopper
Pre-loved luxury goods generally cost only a fraction of their original price. Luxury brands are usually very expensive, but when comparing prices at Attikk to similar items from other stores, the difference is not that significant. However, buying a pre-loved Louis Vuitton bag at Attikk for around 100,000 ISK is a lot more cost-effective than going abroad and spending 300-400 thousand ISK for a new one.
The price of the item depends on your preferences. Do you want the item to have a "soul," or do you prefer it to look untouched? According to the nature of the matter, newer and lightly used bags can fall into the higher price range than those that have given more of themselves to their previous owners, costing only 10% of their original value.

For the storyteller
Every pre-loved luxury item has its own story to tell. Some have been seen with famous people or have appeared in various movies or TV shows. Some are designed by renowned designers or have been released in limited editions, making them highly sought after.
Some choose to buy items with a "soul." In that sense, we can mention the popular Louis Vuitton bags, most of which feature untreated vachetta leather. This leather is very light on new bags but darkens with use, especially on handles. This process the leather goes through is called "patina," which is a kind of fingerprint. It is deliberately done by the manufacturer because every bag has its own story, and some believe that the patina and darker leather are more appealing.
Above all, concerning the story, it's worth mentioning that many luxury brands have stopped producing certain items. Who wouldn't want a bag or shoes that others can't easily get? Maybe something that was incredibly popular at its time or something timeless that resonates with you better than the products being produced now.
It's trendy
Buying used items is generally on-trend. Do you want to stand out or do you want to follow the trend? How can we repay the Earth for the life we have on it today? It's not a big sacrifice to benefit from shopping at Attikk. The majority of the purchase price goes to another individual who chose to let go of the item, maybe to be able to buy another one instead.
For unique luxury
You can completely strike gold when you shop for used luxury goods. Some items become collector's items or highly sought after, and their value only increases over time. There are various examples of this. Similarly, brands like Hermés have multi-year waiting lists for bags, but if you see such a bag at Attikk, you don't have to wait. The bag is yours as soon as you make the purchase.
All the luxury items at Attikk are guaranteed to be authentic.
When everything is considered, it becomes clear that it is more cost-effective and sustainable, both for you and the environment, to buy used luxury goods. What's stopping you? You can see the current selection at Attikk.is or visit us at Laugavegur 90.
