  • Strive for brand recognition: Saint Laurent's Cassandre hook and angle, Gucci's Double G logo, and Burberry's war horse are all iconic elements of the brand.
  • Pragmatism: Pay attention to the volume of the bag and layer design (such as the COACH tote bag, Saint Laurent NIKI BABY) to meet the daily storage needs.
  • Value preservation: Classic models (such as Gucci GG Marmont, Saint Laurent NIKI) are more liquid in the second-hand market.
