Every week I dive deep into the ZenPlus.jp marketplace to take the temperature on the Japanese Second Hand market.
Here; I’ve collected 7 amazing deals on rare and highly desired pieces.
While the absolute lowest deals often appear around December, June is a great time to look for those and rare valuable finds.
The Crown Jewel in any Birkin collectors cabinet. That’s right, ZenPlus.jp has 75 Birkin bags listed on the marketplace, and one of the listed bags is this Hermes Himalayan Birkin 25 in White Crocodile Leather. No need for reservations or invitations from Hermes, you can buy it now, it’s right there!

Nobody has the exact number of how few of these exist today, except Hermes, of course. Sometimes nicknamed the Billionaire’s Bag, Victoria Beckham, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian are all present or past owners of this or similar, very exclusive Hermes bag.
If you’re not one for reptiles, let me introduce you to my next choice.
What is the Louis Vuitton x Steven Sprouse Rose collection?
Like in a time capsule, these three gorgeous Rose Monogram pieces come from the fabled Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009 collection. This is one of two collaboration lines Steven Sprouse had with LV.

Louis Vuitton Limited Monogram Roses Speedy 30 Stephen Sprouse
The Neverfull, Speedy & Keepall are the trifecta of must-have Louis Vuitton bags. I was so excited to find specifically these 3 in the Steven Sprouse Rose design.
The most well known is likely the Graffiti collection from 2001, which was a collaborative work between Sprouse & Marc Jacobs, LV’s creative Director at the time.
This rose design was a love letter from the former designer to Sprouse, as it is a posthumous collaboration.
Steven Sprouse unfortunately passed away 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.
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 Prada 2 way Tessuto Python bag! It’s got the deadly delight of a real python leather bag, with arguably even more vibrant hues. 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.
