Plenty of things get better with age.

In the realm of fashion, the allure of pre-loved designer handbags has grown exponentially as environmentally-conscious shoppers seek out rare accessories, exquisite craftsmanship, and timeless designs.

Now even swanky department stores such as Brown Thomas are getting in on the action; Brown Thomas Cork has announced the launch of Preloved with Designer Exchange, an exclusive offering of pre-owned luxury handbags you can browse on a permanent basis in-store. 

“Following previous successful pop-ups with the award-winning curators of preloved handbags, customers will have the opportunity to shop an edit of highly coveted and authenticated styles from a variety of luxury brands.” a spokesperson for Brown Thomas Cork told us.

“Located in the Accessories Department on the Ground Floor, the edit will be refreshed regularly with new arrivals of the most desirable pieces.”

Preloved with Designer Exchange is the latest launch at Brown Thomas inspiring customers with a sustainable approach to fashion.

Other services include Full Circle, which gives customers the opportunity to exchange preloved handbags for a Brown Thomas gift card to spend in-store or online via the store’s concierge desk.
