Beautiful high quality bags

Beautiful high quality bags - arrived quickly and in great condition as described in detail on the site. When I did have an issue (loose hardware) with a Celine bag, Dani was very responsive and offered help to fix it. Overall a great service and I look forward to buying again with you

Incredible prices for authentic luxury.

I've been following The Hosta for a while now and was so excited to see a bag in my price range, I bought it immediately and received it the same week. Incredibly fast shipping, great curation, and very reasonable prices.

Incredible quality, value and customer service

The Hosta is my favourite online store to buy pre-loved and vintage designer goods. I have made a couple of purchases from Danni and both bags have been incredible quality for the best value. Will be purchasing again and again!

Vintage Bottega

I’ve been looking for a vintage Bottega tote for months and none I came across matched up to the one I saw on The Hosta’s instagram. I asked for more photos and had them as well as a video within an hour! I decided to buy it and it was shipped the next day. I was not disappointed when it arrived. The listing said it was in very good condition, but it was perfect! I’m already keeping an eye on their new in….

Beautiful pre loved bags

I've been lucky enough to make a few purchases from Danni over the past couple of years. Every purchase has been seamless and has brought me so much joy! Purchasing my gorgeous Bottega at the recent pop up was a real highlight. I'm so impressed with the range of product on offer and I always feel in very safe and trustworthy hands buying pre loved from The Hosta. If you're considering a pre loved luxury item, you won't be disappointed!

The Hosta

I’ve always wanted to own a classic Chanel bag, and thanks to The Hosta now I do! Danni goes above and beyond for her customers and answers every question. She also sent over lots of images and videos when I asked for them. Nothing was too much trouble.

I have recently purchased a Bottega from The Hosta, and I’m sure it won’t be my last vintage designer bag! Danni has a great eye and a wonderful selection of vintage designer bags, jewellery and wallets.

I still can’t believe that I own a Chanel and it is all thanks to Danni. I will always be grateful for her business!

Couldn’t recommend The Hosta more! I’ve purchased 2 bags now through Danni & she really takes the time to discuss options with you if you’re unsure and will let you know if there is a bag coming in that’s on your wishlist

So professional, she has a great eye for gorgeous bags and I am always keeping on eye on what she has coming in :) would absolutely buy from her again

Beautiful Fendi bag

The Hosta has an amazing range of beautiful investment pieces. I had been eyeing up one of the Fendi bags for a while and decided to go for it. Am so glad I did! I received very prompt and helpful communication from Danni. My bag shipped quickly to New Zealand and arrived beautifully packaged. I absolutely love my bag and wouldn’t hesitate to shop again with The Hosta. Highly recommended!

I am absolutely thrilled with the Bottega that I bought from The Hosta, the bag was immaculate, even better than the pictures. The service and communication was excellent, sent with lovely packaging. I will be making another purchase and am looking for something extra special for a big birthday!- I cannot recommend enough, why buy new at a poorer quality when you can buy a classic that will last forever.

I am thrilled with my beautiful Celine tote which was just as described on the website.
Luckily it was well wrapped and packaged as the delivery person had bashed the box about!
Cute Hosta tote bag in with it which was a nice gesture and I have used loads.

Amazing communication and has helped me try and find out what type of investment I should make in my dream bag. I have already made one purchase on a beautiful bag which was top level quality and patiently wait for my dream bag to turn up one day 🙌 Would totally recommend The Hosta for second hand luxury.
