Very Rare Bag For Sale on 1stDibs

Surely you’ll find the exact vintage or contemporary very rare bag you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. If you’re looking for an option in Black and you’re unable to find the right fit, there are plenty of variations in Brown, Purple and more. You’re likely to find the perfect very rare bag among the distinctive accessories we have available, which includes versions made as long ago as the 20th Century as well as those produced as recently as the 21st Century. An accessory like this designed by Hermès, Chanel and Azzedine Alaïa — each of whom created a beautiful version of this treasured item — is worth considering. There aren’t many items for men if you’re seeking these accessories, as most of the options available are for women and unisex.

How Much is a Very Rare Bag?

Prices for a very rare bag can differ depending upon size, designer and other attributes — on 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $450 and can go as high as $125,000, while, on average they fetch $15,277.

Finding the Right Handbags and Purses for You

An integral part of fashion, handbags and purses have been indispensable accessories ever since we began to carry around personal items. Level of craftsmanship, style and shape matters — from coin purses in ancient Greece to early 20th-century opera bags and onward, handbags have evolved considerably over the years to meet our needs and desires, whether or not you happen to be prioritizing functionality over a flashy exterior.

Once, a single “It” handbag ruled each fashion season. No more. Today, lovers of vintage handbags are savvier and have a wider range of shopping options. Nevertheless, classics created by the likes of Louis Vuitton, Dior and Balenciaga still rule.

“It is not a fashion bag — it is a statement bag,” says Mightychic's Debra Kent of Hermès's widely beloved accessories. “When you carry an iconic Hermès bagBirkin, Kelly, Constance — no one knows how long you have been into this culture or if you are a newbie. Your status is validated immediately.”

First released in 1997, Fendi's Baguette rose to fame along with Carrie Bradshaw, the Sex and the City character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker. Recently, the design has seen such a resurgence in popularity that Fendi has reissued it.

They are part of design history, so owning a handbag has meaning. As New York–based fashion historian Sarah C. Byrd says, “You have made the choice to invest in this piece because you understand the value of it in the past and in the future to come.”

From a 1980s Chanel black leather quilted mini buckle bag to the rare Hermès Birkin 30cm Himalayan with diamond hardware to a range of 19th-century bags, find a rich variety of vintage and designer handbags and purses spanning numerous brands on 1stDibs — seasonal “It” designation no longer needed.

Questions About Very Rare Bag
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Two of the most rare Louis Vuitton handbags include the limited edition Alma Panthere bag in monogram canvas and leather, which was a collaboration with Azzedine Alaia, and another collaboration bag, this time with Richard Prince on the iconic Speedy bag in Aquarelle monogram canvas. Shop a collection of authentic Louis Vuitton purses from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    What makes a Chanel bag rare is the craftsmanship and the demand. Because of the time it takes to produce each bag, Chanel makes only a limited number each season, and the popularity of the French luxury fashion house’s pieces means that the available inventory sells quickly. For its spectacular seasonal runway shows, Chanel designs special bags that are typically produced in smaller editions, making them all the more desirable and prompting long waiting lists, while many handbags that are sought after today are objects of pure fantasy conjured up by the late couturier Karl Lagerfeld, whose prolific tenure at the helm of Chanel lasted from 1983 to 2019. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Chanel bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Emeralds are quite rare. This gemstone is rarer and more expensive than a diamond.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Birkins are so rare because of a range of factors. Each is handmade by a single expert craftsperson at the celebrated French luxury house Hermès, so this is going to limit how many can be produced in a year. A limited assortment of leathers and colors is released annually, and bags made in exotic skins such as lizard, ostrich and porosus and niloticus crocodile are exceedingly rare. Demand for the bags is astronomically high because the Birkin, which debuted in 1984, is considered an iconic design and is a coveted item all over the world. Additionally, customers are required to have a purchase history with Hermès in order to buy a new Birkin, and the company only allows boutiques to purchase a specified number of Birkins bi-annually. And Birkins are among the most expensive handbags in the world, so this isn’t an accessory that you’re going to see everyday. Shop an assortment of Hermès Birkin bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    A completely natural emerald is rare. Often, emeralds go through treatments to enhance their appearance or durability. Compared to diamonds, emeralds are actually 20 times rarer. While they’re rare, emeralds are gemstones to purchase if you’re on a budget because they appear larger than a diamond of the same carat weight due to their lower density. Emeralds are believed by many to symbolize royalty, love and mysticism. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of emerald jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    In general, the Rolex Daytona models are rare because the luxury Swiss watchmaker only produces limited runs of each one. Some models are rarer than others due to their popularity. You'll find a selection of Rolex Daytona watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Yes, most collectors consider the green Submariner to be rare. Although Rolex uses the green dial on many dressier timepieces, the luxury watchmaker only occasionally offers sportier watches like the Submariner in the color. When Rolex did make green Submariners, production numbers tended to be limited. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Rolex Submariner watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not Rolex Submariners are rare depends on the model number. Some are easier to find than others due to increased production. Examples of rare models include the ref. 5517, the honeycomb dial ref. 6204 and the ref. 6538. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of Rolex Submariner watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    It depends on the make and model of the music box. To find the value of a music box, experts suggest that you work with a certified appraiser. The value of a music box will depend on a number of factors, including the shape it’s in. You’ll find expertly vetted music boxes on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Muzo emeralds are rare. Mined from the Muzo area of Columbia, Muzo emeralds are known for their bold, green hue and utmost quality, making them a popular choice for jewelry collectors. You’ll find a selection of authentic Muzo emerald jewelry pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not coral fossils are rare depends on their specific type. Agatized coral that comes from chalcedony quartz is rare, while others are more common. You'll find a collection of coral fossil decorative objects from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Rolex Daytonas are rare because the luxury Swiss watchmaker produced a limited number each year, and demand for the watch has historically been high. In 1962, Rolex was named official timekeeper of the Daytona International Speedway, the home of American stock-car racing. The following year, it introduced the Cosmograph reference 6239, or the Rolex Daytona, in honor of the partnership. Shop a variety of Rolex Daytona watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Yes, a star sapphire is rarer than other types of sapphires. The gemstones get their name from the natural starburst effect that appears on their faces when you view them under a single overhead light. On 1stDibs, shop a range of star sapphire gemstone jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, moss agates are considered one of the rarest types of agates available. Moss agate gets its name from a mineral inclusion of deep green hues that mimics the look of moss within the gemstone. Browse a selection of moss agate jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Compared to cow, calfskin and lambskin leathers, ostrich leather is rare. However, many luxury fashion houses like Hermés, Louis Vuitton and Gucci use ostrich leather as a material. Shop a selection of ostrich leather handbags, shoes and accessories on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Certain quality rhodolite garnets are very rare. The most valuable rhodolites are “spirit color” or medium-high saturation, medium tone, pinkish red gemstone.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because black pearls only form when sand is trapped in a specific type of oyster, the Tahitian black-lipped Pinctada, they are very rare. Black pearls occur once in every 10,000 pearls.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes. Hermès Kelly bags are very rare and highly sought after, due to their iconic style status associated with actress and Princess of Monoco, Grace Kelly. Because of this, there is an exclusive waitlist for releases of new Kelly bags. Shop a wide range of professionally authenticated Hermès Kelly bags from top boutiques worldwide on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    Generally, So Black Chanel handbags are rare. The term refers to bags that feature black leather and matching black hardware. For each collection, Chanel produces handbags in a set range of colors, and usually only a limited number of bags like the Chanel Classic Flap Bag and Chanel Boy Bag are available in So Black. Because the seasonal selection is small and there is usually great demand for the black-on-black bags, it can be hard to find one at a Chanel boutique. However, you can often buy them on trusted online platforms. Explore a variety of Chanel So Black bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
