Handbags & Vintage

Art meets fashion at Ahlden Castle. Do you love luxury and extravagance? The fact that unusual vintage pieces are literally declared icons is demonstrated again and again by the auction of luxury goods of fashion design in our house.

The "Petit Sac Haut à Courroies" designed by John Dumas, which has been handcrafted by HERMÈS since 1935, is one such icon. After a visit to America, during which the fashion icon, actress and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly is said to have used a model made of black crocodile leather to conceal her early pregnancy, it became the most sought-after bag model in the world and enjoys cult status among all fashion enthusiasts. Since 1977, the bag has been officially known by HERMÈS as the "Kelly Bag". In our auctions we regularly offer Kelly bags in different designs, such as a rare Kelly 32 made of greige-colored ostrich leather (proceeds: 9,400 euros) or the classic made of burgundy calf leather (proceeds: 5,000 euros), which make collectors' hearts beat faster, just like the classic designed for the actress Jane Birkin in unusual baby blue calf leather (proceeds: 10,600 euros).

You can also discover unique handbags from well-known luxury labels such as Chanel's "Classic Flap" (sold for 3,000 euros) or rare vintage models from Dior, Gucci, Fendi and Prada to Bottega Veneta, as well as classic handbags and luggage from Louis Vuitton with monogram or Damier canvas.

We also offer all fashion lovers a select collection of accessories, including sunglasses, HERMÈS scarves and clothing items such as designer coats and luxury furs.

Exclusive gifts such as writing utensils from Montblanc and Cartier as well as other vintage items from the leading brand names Montblanc, Cartier, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, GUCCI, Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, BVLGARI, MCM, JIL SANDER and Prada.
