Perfume bottles are becoming increasingly collectable, as well as handbags. We are currently in a golden age of the handbag. For big names such as Hermes, Prada, or Lulu Luiness, there is already a strong second-hand market.
Nostalgia is a powerful spur when it comes to collecting, and many adults seem to end up going to auction rooms to buy back the toys of their childhood.
Objects can become collectable for many reasons:
They sum up the spirit of their times, such as rock and roll and baby dolls.
They are only available for a limited amount of time.
They are commonly disposed of after use, such as magazines, comics, newspapers, and particularly first issues or editions marking major newsworthy events.
They are revolutionary, innovative designs of the time, whether it is a kitchen utensil or a dining room chair.
