Carried once.
Kept forever.

Secondhand designer bags, bought one at a time. Every piece gets authenticated before it goes up, and we'd much rather you carried it than kept it in a dust bag.

Our Story

Where it all
comes from

Saddle Boy started with one bag. Bought secondhand, worn constantly, and enough strangers stopped to ask about it that it seemed worth doing properly.

Most of what we find comes from estate sales and private sellers, and we buy in small numbers. Nothing gets restored beyond a clean. A bag that's twenty years old should look like it, and the wear is usually the best part.

Everything is authenticated before it's listed. There's only ever one of each, so when something sells it's genuinely gone, and it all ships wrapped, boxed and insured wherever you are.
