What Goes Around Comes Around
The sudden increase of interest for vintage fashion lead to the multiplication of new vintage stores and an increase of their profits.
This is the reason why the new WGACA store was created by Seth Weisser. He wants to give to its clients the best luxury shopping experience.
This project is the most important and ambitious, a store of 1 100 m2 on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, in California. The big difference from its neighbors like Louis Vuitton or Valentino, is that WGACA is just for vintage luxury products.
The store will provide to its customers a large choice of luxury products such as clothes, accessories and jewels. There will also be Chanel and Hermes corners. Indeed, the creator insisted on the point that they will have the “largest vintage Chanel collection in the world”. This collection will have some product signed Karl Lagerfeld and also sold out products that you cannot find anywhere else. And for the Hermes collection, the master piece will be a Birkin bag in crocodile from Himalaya, that you cannot find anywhere. Seth Weisser thinks that vintage products are more interesting in the eyes of rich customers.
This shop is a total success, and it illustrates perfectly the increase of this new segment, the “haute couture” vintage, where products from great creators are sold at a discount price to customers that have the financial resources to buy the last luxury brands collection.
Even the luxury shops are going in this direction, for example Seth Weisser has contracts with Barneys in Japan to give them vintage luxury products.
Moreover, it is really surprising that even famous people such as Rihanna are rushing to these stores to have the best products of the store. For them, luxury brands products continue to win value through the years, never forget that a survey showed that a Birkin bag is a better investment than gold on the stock exchange.
So if you are a luxury addict, do not hesitate to rush to a luxury vintage store, you will find a “rare gem” !
