When it comes to bags, women are never running short of styles to add to their wish list. But for many of us, spending the equivalent of a month\u2019s mortgage \u2013if not more\u2013 on a fashion accessory is something that should be considered wisely. And even if you\u2019re willing to spend that kind of money, many designs never go on sale, and some are even on a permanent, ever-elusive wait list.<\/p>

Purchasing a pre-loved designer bag can on the other hand spare you a lot of money \u2013 between 30 and 70% off the original retail price. While a few pre-loved specialists sell second-hand luxury bags online, this option is not for everyone. Sometimes you just need to feel and see the \u2013expensive\u2013 arm candy for yourself. Enter Maxi-Cash: the brand now retails pre-loved designer bags in their HarbourFront Centre and Toa Payoh stores. From Herm\u00e8s to Louis Vuitton and Chanel to Gucci, the company selected the most iconic luxury brands starting from S$600. And buying a pre-loved bag doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll have to\u00a0settle\u00a0for an unusual or seasonal colour \u2013say studded AND pink\u2013 the bags range at Maxi-Cash features timeless shades like black or\u00a0blue<\/em>\u00a0thalassa<\/em>.<\/p>

Now that you know how to save on your next arm candy, all you have left to do is curate a design that fits your personal flair. A sophisticated structured bag like Herm\u00e8s Birkin or Louis Vuitton St Jacques will be the perfect ally if your daily routine involves running between the office and your child\u2019s doc appointment, while a Chanel 2.55 or Herm\u00e8s Kelly might be more suitable for a less active lifestyle. For some matching outfit ideas, get inspired by our photo story featuring a selection of preloved bags currently available at Maxi-Cash.<\/p>
