Luxury houses increasingly look to 1980s and 1990s archives for new releases—CHANEL has revived the 31 bag and Top Handle, while Fendi’s Baguette and Dior’s Saddle Bag returned with updated details. That retro momentum explains why actresses and socialites lean into vintage, from Korea’s “Human Chanel” Jennie and He Jia’s daughter Xi Mengyao to Hong Kong stars Priscilla Wong and Heidi Lee, Angelababy, and Taiwan’s Joanne Tseng.
BLACKPINK Jennie#
Jennie lives up to the “Human Chanel” nickname. Beyond seasonal boutique pieces, she regularly wears vintage—from elegant Kelly shapes to Chocolate Bar bags and even a free CHANEL towel bag. When Jennie carries a style, the vintage market often sees a spike in “get Jennie’s bag” searches.

Joanne Tseng#
Taiwanese actress Joanne Tseng is known as a vintage enthusiast with a soft spot for pre-owned bags. The double-C ring-buckle Flap she wore remains one of the most requested styles.
CHANEL Heart Bag#
CHANEL’s heart-shaped “face-covering bag” from 1995 stays in high demand on the pre-owned market. Barbie brought it back into the spotlight this year, though many collectors bought theirs years ago.

CHANEL mother and child bag#
CHANEL’s mother-and-child bag is a 1990s classic for vintage lovers. The connecting metal lock is one of the most recognizable CHANEL vintage details. The two pouches can be worn together or separated—practical and iconic— which is why Xi Mengyao and other collectors seek limited editions.
