If you’ve ever dreamed of adding designer style to your wardrobe auctions offer a golden opportunity to find quality items at affordable prices.

Coming up in Hansons’ April 29 Derbyshire Fine Art Auction are two lots which define quality, a pair of elegant Tiffany sunglasses and a Hermes silk scarf.

The Hermes Qu' importe Le Flacon scent bottle silk scarf features a dark blue border with decorative scent bottle print on royal blue ground and comes complete with its original Hermes box. Meanwhile the vintage Tiffany & Co shades feature a classic tortoise acetate. Brand new, this duo would set you back hundreds of pounds but, though estimates are still being agreed, auctions offer the opportunity to bag a quality make for a snip.

Designer style is all-important in the collectables market and high-end makes entice bidders. Auctions also offer a way for fashionistas to sell items they’ve grown tired of and source something different. So, if a designer handbag, Chanel gem, vintage watch or unwanted piece of jewellery is gathering dust, auctions can help you maximise your assets. To arrange a free valuation, email [email protected].
