Why Celebs Are Reviving Vintage It-Bags — and What It Means for Resale

At The Velvet Muzzle, we believe that true luxury never fades—it simply deserves a second chance.

We specialize in breathing new life into preloved vintage luxury bags, giving them the opportunity to be reloved and cherished once again.

Through careful cleaning, repair, and restoration, we get these beautiful pieces ready for their next chapter.

But we’re not the only ones noticing the magic of vintage—the fashion world is catching on, too.

Fashion is cyclical, and lately we’re seeing a major revival of early-2000s “It-bags.” Celebrities and influencers are digging through archives and putting forgotten Y2K favorites back in the spotlight.

Why Celebs Are Reviving Vintage It-Bags — and What It Means for Resale

What This Means for Resale:

• Demand surges for iconic styles: Think Gucci Jackie, Dior Saddle, Fendi Baguette, and Coach Soho.

• Condition matters more than ever: A vintage luxury bag in excellent shape can become a collector's piece.

• Restored = reloved: With careful cleaning and repair, these bags feel fresh—but maintain their legacy and fashion history.

  
  

Limited availability = value: Vintage handbag lovers recognize the impeccable craftsmanship and iconic style of bags from this era. As these styles trend again, prices often rise quickly in the resale market.

If you have one of these styles in your closet (or your mom’s!), now might be the time to bring it out—or look for a lovingly restored preloved version before prices climb further.

While celebs and influencers may spark the trends, it’s you and me who bring these bags back to life. Whether you're looking for your first “It-bag” or rediscovering one you’ve loved before, The Velvet Muzzle is here to help you find something that feels iconic, authentic, and truly yours. We carefully restore preloved vintage luxury bags through thorough cleaning and restoration—giving each one a second chance to shine and be cherished once again.
