Fashion Auctions Tap Into Handbags, Vintage Designer Pieces and Luxury Accessories
Fashion sales are gathering pace across the auction calendar, with houses offering everything from handbags and vintage designer clothing to jewellery and luxury accessories. Online platform OneBid opens the run with its 87th fashion and accessories auction, featuring handbags, fashion accessories, jewelry and fashion-themed art, which closes in late October. Shortly after, an estate sale in Colorado Springs runs over October 30 and 31, offering fashion and accessories alongside collectibles, decor and memorabilia.
At the start of November, Kaplans Auktioner lists a fashion and accessories sale on 5 November among its autumn offerings. Millea Bros then holds a two-day Fine Jewelry & Fashion sale on November 5 and 6, 2026. Day two brings vintage and contemporary designer fashion, handbags, shoes and jewelry, with previews running beforehand and bidding available in person or through a live online broadcast.
Later in November, Aste Bolaffi hosts a vintage fashion and luxury accessories sale in Turin and online. METAYER MERMOZ MAISON DE VENTES AUX ENCHÈRES follows in late November with leather goods, fashion accessories, jewellery, watches and silverware, with sales held in Antibes and Paris. The run closes in late November with a Caen Enchères sale of jewellery, gold and fashion accessories, held at its Caen house.
Across these sales, several trends stand out. Handbags appear repeatedly, from the designer bags highlighted by Swedish house Bukowskis, which is known for handbags and fashion, to the wider handbag lots in the OneBid and Millea Bros offerings. Vintage pieces also feature prominently, with Millea Bros and Aste Bolaffi both emphasising pre-owned designer items. Many houses pair fashion with fine jewellery and watches, suggesting that buyers are looking for accessories that combine style with lasting value. The Bukowskis listings, which include Hermès and Louis Vuitton names, show how high-end brands continue to anchor the category, though condition notes such as wear and dry cracks remind buyers that vintage pieces vary considerably. Taken together, the calendar points to a busy late autumn for fashion collectors, with a mix of online and in-person formats giving bidders several routes into the market.
