Miami Art Basel kicks off this week, but, obviously, art is more than what you see in a gallery. As any true fashion lover will tell you, a handbag can be a work of art in and of itself. The people at luxury bag resale brand Rebag couldn’t agree more.
“By definition, art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in visual form,” says Rebag. “From craftsmanship to the materials and media used to create striking prints, patterns, and embellishments, luxury handbags are simply wearable art. Rebag believes in handbags as an art form that is more attainable and collectible, particularly with pieces that come from collaborations or limited edition runs; these bags can be displayed and may appreciate in value over time, much like their classical medium counterparts like paintings and sculptures. As a modern-day collectible for many, handbags remain an incredible way to value and appreciate artistic expressions while revealing personal style and taste.”
