Auction details

More than twenty years ago, an episode of Sex and The City made the phrase "it's not a bag, it's a Birkin" famous and unforgettable. The iconic bag, synonymous with luxury par excellence, takes center stage once again with the spring auction of Finarte's Luxury Fashion department. The catalog offers an array of goods for fashion enthusiasts and collectors, coming from a prestigious private collection.

The auction features two sessions, the first dedicated entirely to Chanel and Hermès, showcasing around 200 lots. Legendary pieces such as the Birkin, Kelly, and Constance, named after iconic women, are up for auction in various colors and very fine leathers. Additionally, Chanel bags in signature matelassé leather, ranging from mini to XXL sizes, are available.

The auction extends beyond vintage or more recent bags; it includes accessories, household items, jewelry, shoes, and clothes, many of which have never been worn. An important selection of colorful Hermès silk scarves from different eras, designed by renowned Parisian illustrators and inspired by equestrian, historical, or naturalistic themes, is up for bidding at the auction. These scarves have gained cult status as collectible items, presented in their unmistakable "orange boxes”.

The second session features around 100 lots from other exclusive Italian and French brands like Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Balmain, and Dior, with a selection from the 1960s to contemporary pieces. As Coco Chanel famously said, "elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress," and with around 50 dresses crafted by skilled hands available in the catalog, elegance finds new expression. Explore the catalog on Finarte's website,

In the spring of 2018, a section of the jewellery auction at the Rome office was dedicated to the best pieces from Elsa Martinelli‘s collection, exclusively made by stylists Roberto Capucci, Gai Mattiolo and Yves Saint Laurent for the diva in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

In March 2019, Finarte held the first auction entirely dedicated to the Luxury Fashion Department, which ended with exceptional success. The auction dedicated to a prestigious private collection of Hermès bags totalled over one million euros in sales, with 100% of lots sold. The absolute top lot, a splendid Birkin in Porosus fuchsia crocodile, sold for € 56,250.

The department offers in its auctions beautiful objects with a fascinating history, extraordinary examples of the best craftsmanship of the high fashion industry, and is selecting lots to for the next sales.
