A pre-loved luxury designer business is launching in Sheffield selling secondhand bags for more than £1,000.
The Luxury HQ will specialise in top end handbags, trainers, jewellery and accessories hundreds of pounds cheaper than new - including items by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Tiffany, Prada and Gucci.

The business will trade online and have a showroom at the premises of manufacturer English Pewter Company, at 409 Petre Street, Grimesthorpe.
Managing director Jason Sharp said it would be the first of its kind in Sheffield.

“It will be nice to see Sheffield also on the map for this fast-growing sector of sustainable luxury fashion.
“My brother and I have long had an idea for this kind of business, and when space became available at our manufacturing site, we considered the option for whether this would be suitable for the pre-loved luxury idea.
“It’s our view that this kind of niche retail does not necessarily require your usual retail space. We will be servicing clients across the country through the website and social media channels like you would from any normal warehouse.

The shop would be appointment only, he added.
When setting prices a lot depended on condition and demand - used Chanel bags saw prices increase by 16 per cent between 2022-23, Mr Sharp said.
But pre-loved prices could be:
Men’s Louis Vuitton Avenue Sling Crossbody Bag: £1275.00 - Recommended Retail Price: £1600
Men’s Christian Dior B30 Trainers: £650.00 - RRP £860
Tiffany (Return To) Silver Bracelet: £295.00 - RRP £550
Ladies Gucci Scarf Charcoal (As New): £250 - RRP £335
