The countdown to Christmas has officially begun with only a few weeks to go. While it may not seem far away, there's still plenty of time to find thoughtful gifts for your family and friends. Our pick? Designer vintage.
A special pre-loved piece is the perfect way to spoil the fashion-obsessed person in your life with a gift they will treasure forever. Maybe your sister's dream is to own a Chanel Boy Bag, or you want to surprise your best friend with a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels, but your budget doesn't allow for a brand new style—let vintage be your answer.
