P.S. FOR VINTAGE CHANEL BAGS: VINTAGE QOO
Securing good, and more importantly credible, vintage buys is no easy feat for the most discerning of luxury collectors - especially so in Asia.
Your best bet? Vintage Qoo hails from Japan, the biggest consumer of luxury items back in the 1980s, and is one of the only online stockists to have a fully functional site in English. They also have physical stores in Tokyo, Osaka, and Hong Kong.
We hear the folks behind Vintage Qoo themselves are huge fans of Chanel, so if vintage Chanels are your thing, you know where to look!

P.P.S. FOR RENTAL BAGS: LENDOR
Think of Lendor as an Airbnb for things. Including luxury bags that perhaps you only need once, so why buy when you can rent? Fellow fashion mavens are renting their bags out a day at a time - fancy a classic Chanel shopper? You might find one for only $10 a day. More of a Prada person? They've got options, too.
The mobile app might be fairly new to the scene, but it's gaining a fair amount of traction. It's already Singapore's largest rental marketplace, with thousands of items listed in their 20+ categories - not just luxury goods, but also camera equipment, party props and more.
