From Hermès to Barbie!
When we write about special auctions, it often concerns events in metropolises à la Paris, London, or New York City. But a major auction of iconic luxury items will also soon take place in our own Amsterdam!
Luxury under the hammer
Nowadays, the country’s glamor cats have also completely discovered the phenomenon of thrift shopping. Auctions with vintage luxury items are also the perfect opportunity to acquire such gems for a bargain price.
And that is why we are particularly pleased that the Amsterdam auction house Adams is organizing a major event next month, during which various products from legendary labels will be reviewed.
Hermès to Barbie
The auction consists of a mix of classics and rare fashion finds. Here you will find a set of excellent reasons to expand your bag collection. Because let’s face it: you can’t pass up such a Hermès Kelly Bag, or one of the it bags from Chanel or Louis Vuitton, right?

There is also a vintage Chanel jacket in fuchsia, which would not have looked bad in the Barbie movie. Jewelry lovers can also indulge themselves: the offer consists of a collection of jewelry dating back to the 18th century. Including the must-have for fans of Diana in The Crown: signed Cartier ear clips from the iconic Maillon Panthère collection, which are designed as 5 rows of rectangular ‘bricks’. Furthermore, beautiful scarves from Hermès, among others, and exclusive jewelry from major designers such as Dior, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co. and Boucheron.

From rings with rubies to emerald jewelry: there is plenty of beautiful things to see and obtain. Various works of art and luxury wines will also go under the hammer. A complete overview of the items to be auctioned can be found here.
Window shopping
If you don’t have a budget for one of these beautiful pearls but do want to shop for all the luxury items, then December 9 and 10 is the place for you. Then the viewing days are at Lange Leidsedwarsstraat 198-200, in Amsterdam. The auction of the fashion items is scheduled for the afternoon of December 12. Perfectly timed for another last-minute luxury Christmas present, nun?
