Deep dive into ZenPlus Marketplace
Every week, I dive deep into the ZenPlus.jp marketplace to take the temperature of the Japanese secondhand luxury market. While the platform offers everything from fashion to collectibles, its luxury bag sellers are a must-check, standing out for their exceptional selection of bags.
Here; I’ve gathered 8 amazing deals on some of the rare and highly desired pieces.
Hermès Birkin en Desordre
A Birkin collector’s dream crafted with artful luxury. That’s right, ZenPlus.jp has around 100 Birkin bags listed on the marketplace, and one of the listed bags is this Hermès Birkin en desordre. This limited edition Birkin en Desordre features an imbalance design, reimagining the iconic Birkin through a deconstructed, multi-perspective lens. It has captivated collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike, making it a coveted addition to any serious Hermès collection. No need for reservations or invitations from Hermes, you can buy it now, it’s right here!

Nobody knows exactly how many of these exist, except Hermès, of course. However, within the luxury community, the Birkin en Desordre is celebrated as a rare masterpiece.
If the unconventional design isn't quite your style, let me introduce you to my next choice.
Louis Vuitton x Steven Sprouse Graffiti collection
Arguably the most popular limited edition style of all time, the Stephen Sprouse Graffiti collection revolutionized Louis Vuitton’s classic monogram with bold, edgy streetwear aesthetics.
Originally released in 2001, this groundbreaking collaboration between Marc Jacobs and Stephen Sprouse became an instant sell-out and is still extremely popular today. This is one of two collaboration lines Steven Sprouse had with LV.
ZenPlus currently has two must-have pieces from this iconic collection:
Louis Vuitton Graffiti Neverfull on ZenPlus Marketplace
Louis Vuitton Graffiti Keepall on ZenPlus Marketplace
The Neverfull and Keepall are the ultimate duo of must-have Louis Vuitton bags. I was so excited to find specifically these 2 in the Steven Sprouse Graffiti design.
Louis Vuitton x Steven Sprouse Rose collection
Sprouse’s influence continued with the Rose collection, this was a love letter from the former designer to Sprouse, as it is a posthumous tribute released after his passing in 2004. The rose design was one of the very first sketches Sprouse did while conceptualizing the 2001 graffiti collection. Like the rose, this line remains loved and sought after long after its inception.

Both collections showcase Sprouse’s lasting legacy, proving that his designs continue to captivate and inspire two decades later.
Looking for a more unisex duffle bag from Louis Vuitton?
Staying on topic, this Keepall 50 comes in the Damier Ebene canvas, giving it a stylish, and calculated look. It strikes a perfect balance of masculine & feminine with its elegant sharp lines, yet deep mahogany color scheme. Unlike its Damier Geant counterpart, it retains its coated canvas and leather accents. And one more thing; this specimen happens to be priced ⅓ less than your average DE Keepall!

Put some pawns in the bag and you can play chess anywhere!
Gucci Backpack in smaller size and smaller price!
I like to call this the “I’m not the one paying” type backpack, though you can still easily fit a sleek card case or bifold wallet among other things, in this Gucci Ophidia Flora backpack.
This cutie doubles as a handbag when carried nonchalantly by the straps.

Gucci is synonymous with flowers, and each bloom holds a symbolic meaning as the house of Gucci's esoteric roots run deep. Expect these to usually set you back $800 on the second hand market.
Want a reptile bag, without actually using reptile leather?
Look no further than this Celine Trapeze Bag in Crocodile Embossed Leather! It’s got the edgy allure of genuine crocodile leather, with none of the guilt—thanks to its impeccable embossed finish. This is a must have for all you instagram witches out there, especially with such a low barrier of entry. If you love fashion, but have yet to dip your toe in the luxury waters, this deal is for you.
