What old purses are worth money?
Many old purses are potentially worth money. Collectors of vintage purses frequently look for gold mesh, jeweled frame, Lucite and micro-beaded handbags, and there is often a high demand for pieces produced by brands like Celine, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Dior, Versace, Ferragamo and Hermès. Generally, the maker, age, style, type and condition of bags contribute to their potential value. If you own a vintage purse, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert to learn how much it may be worth. Explore a diverse assortment of vintage bags from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
