Luxe for less: Score big on second-hand luxury style this Christmas

Since Christmas last year, more than 8,000 luxury items were taken out of the cupboard and brought back into the spotlight through Cash Converters’ second-hand retail, giving customers luxe for less.

“The luxury market is growing fast and we’re really proud of our huge range of quality brands. We have a collection of unique pieces, like vintage luxury, discontinued lines that are timeless, and watches that you can’t find anywhere else,” said Greg Lawton, General Manager of Stores.

“We use many ways to authenticate our luxury goods including Entrupy, which provides a verification certificate to give customers the confidence that what they’re buying is exactly what they’re getting."

You might even find something rare. While these pieces fetch a higher price due to their rarity and high appeal with collectors, it’s exciting to find something truly one-of-a-kind.

“There are thousands of luxury items in our stores nationwide, so you never know what you’ll find,”
says Mr Lawton.

“We’re about to open a new luxury boutique in Adelaide, our second one alongside Bondi Junction in NSW, with more opening over the coming year.”

However, there are plenty of luxury pieces to be found across Australia in-store and online.
