5 Vintage Designer Bag Hotspots In London
Sellier Knightsbridge
If it’s rare pieces (at competitive prices) you’re after, then you’ll want to pay a visit to Sellier Knightsbridge. Founded in 2019 by Hanushka Toni, this preloved luxury hotspot has cultivated a huge presence online – with collectors flocking to the store for a chance to get their hands on some of the most evasive pieces on the market.
Address: 6 Cheval Place, London SW7 1ES

Nordic Poetry
With its bright pink interiors and rails of carefully curated finds, Nordic Poetry is one of the most aesthetically pleasing vintage hubs in London. Founder Ameli Lindgren fills shop shelves with early 2000s Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent, 90s Gucci and Fendi and more – but its growing fanbase means you’ll need to get in there pretty quickly if you want to bag yourself something good.
Address: 141 Bethnal Green Road, Shoreditch E2 7DG

The Handbag Clinic
While having started out just cleaning and restoring vintage designer bags from its Chelsea outpost, The Handbag Clinic has grown to become a major player in London’s luxury scene. And a recent move to Selfridges means that one of the city’s best places to buy, sell, repair and authenticate preloved accessories is more accessible than ever. With a dedicated space in the department store’s Reselfridges section, the Clinic offers a stylish selection of pre-owned luxury handbags sourced from private sellers, brands and stores.
Address: Selfridges (Ground Floor), 400 Oxford Street, London W1A 1AB

Aro Archive
Founded by Ariana Waiata Sheehan, this independent, family-run archival company stands apart from the city’s other vintage stores by specialising in pre-owned Japanese, Belgian, French and British design. The business itself is comprised of a London-based bricks-and-mortar shop where visitors can buy and sell vintage goods (and meet resident alien, Martian Margiela), a website for international orders, and an archival rental service for design houses, museums and educational institutions.
Address: 1-3 French Place, London E1 6JB

Sign Of The Times
When it first opened its doors in Chelsea back in the 70s, says CEO Antonia Johnstone, Sign Of The Times operated as an exclusive space ‘for celebrities of the day to re-sell their items’. It still boasts a rather impressive archive of vintage designer bags today, making it one of London’s best shopping spots (and worst kept secret).
Address: 5 Elystan Street, London SW3 3NT
