Our commitment to sustainability
Join us to promote a circular economy by selling your unwanted bags and buying second hand bags
We’re committed to creating a circular economy of luxury goods
We believe that there is a sustainable way to shop: second hand.
More and more people buy less, but better, that is, luxury second hand goods.
We plant a tree with every purchase
To further our commitment to sustainability, we collaborate with Treedom, an Italian company that allows anyone to plant trees in different countries of the world, offering costumers the opportunity to monitor plant growth. With every order placed on Otto Vintage, Treedom plants a tree.
