hoenix Style is one of the UK’s original destinations for authentic pre-loved designer fashion. With a 46-year heritage, it has established itself as a community built for buying and selling luxury designer fashion, jewellery, shoes, and especially handbags. By considering pre-loved, not only are you doing your bit for the environment and circular economy, but you are also more likely to bag a high-quality classic for a fraction of its original price. The Phoenix team of authenticity specialists will go to every length to
ensure that what they sell is the real deal so that you can shop with confidence. Follow @phoenixstyle_ on Instagram and tune into their #ShopOurDropThursday at 1pm on Instagram Live to get early access to new stock, especially if you are looking to invest in a luxury classic handbag, the investment pieces are known to sell out in minutes. n
