2020. February 27. 09:30
Stuttgart, Germany, 27 February, 2020 (APA/OTS) - Since the 1990s
the market volume for new and vintage luxury bags has more than
doubled. - The Stuttgart auction house EPPLI has already
specialised in this trend 17 years ago and is now one of the
leading handbag auction houses in Europe. Particularly rare and
unique top style bags will be auctioned at the best-of auction 14th
March 2020.
According to a study by the Boston Consulting Group, the market
for luxury fashion items is growing by about 6% per year. Record
prices are regularly achieved at auctions and in second-hand shops.
According to the German industry newspaper Textilwirtschaft
(2018), one woman in five already owns a luxury handbag.
EPPLI, founded in 1978, was one of the first to specialising
for the upmarket segment of fashion and accessories.
In 2018, the company made international headlines by auctioning
one of the world's largest collection of the most desired Hermés
luxury bags.
Hermés achieved hammer prices of up to €36,000 for an extremely
limited it-bag "KELLY BAG 35 TEDDY", coll. 2001.
Since then the family business has systematically expanded this
division.
Today, the company already employs 80 people, of which 12 of
them specifically for the luxury sector search the international
markets for selected items.
For the upcoming years, Eppli aims to catch up with the New
York auction house Christie's in this rapidly growing segment.
Christie's is currently considered the market leader for luxury
handbags in the international auction market.
On 14th of March, Eppli will be hosting a best-of auction at
Stuttgart's Königsbau. Besides sought- after Kelly and Birkin bags
by Hermés, a particularly rare SEKRÉ handbag and will be up for
bid. From all over the world bidders will be able to participate by
telephone or online at www.eppli.com . Strong international bidders
are expected again, for this special event.
