🔍 GRADE DEFINITION: HOW TO EVALUATE YOUR BAG?

The state of preservation is the primary price driver at auction. Here is our appraisal grid:

Grade A (Excellent Condition) : The bag is close to new. The canvas has no cracks and the corners are not rubbed. The leather patina is light and even (light Vachetta). The interior is spotless, with no odors or stains.

Grade B (Good Condition / Normal Use) : The bag shows signs of daily use. The leather has taken on a honey or dark patina. Slight marks on corners or handles. Clean but used interior. This is the most liquid segment of the market.

Grade C (Medium/Vintage condition) : Marked wear, minor crazing or oxidation of metal parts. These pieces are often sought after for restoration or as a vintage “first purchase”.

🎤 EXPERT ANALYSIS: MARKET TRENDS 2026

“In 2026, we are observing a ‘Qualitative Refuge’ phenomenon.”

  1. Rarity trumps logo: Collectors are abandoning the classic mass-produced Monogram in favor of historic collaborations (notably the Marc Jacobs era).
  2. The ‘Vintage Pre-Loved’ effect: The spectacular rise in boutique prices (+15% on average since 2024) is driving buyers to auctions to find iconic models at 50% off the new price, while guaranteeing authenticity.
  3. The ‘Voyage’ bag in force: The Keepall is experiencing record demand this year, driven by the massive return of international luxury tourism.
