Luxury Hand bags & Couture

High Fashion

The most celebrated names in luxury fashion are top performers in Freeman's | Hindman’s ‘High Fashion’ category, which include men’s and women’s individual clothing items and ensembles made from the 1960s to today. Designs in this category are often progressive, well-known and celebrated examples by the top names in fashion, such as Christian Dior, Issey Miyake, Chanel, Ralph Rucci, Junya Watanabe, Yves Saint Laurent, Halston, Comme des Garcons, Valentino and Oscar de la Renta.

This category features designs that are bold and bright in their use of material and color, progressive in their pattern cutting and design and often feature highly skilled examples of embroidery or other hand-sewn details in the construction and embellishment. The designs in this category are always in good to mint condition and are often unworn, while still retaining their original retail labels.

Historic Dress & Textiles

Items in this category were created prior to the 1950s and, due to their rarity and fragility, are often purchased as archive items or study pieces for private collections, schools and museums. Designers that perform well in this category are Charles Frederick Worth (the ‘Father of Haute Couture’), Doucet, Callot Soeurs, Emile Pingat, Vionnet, Paul Poiret, Chanel, Irene, Adrian and Claire McCardel.

This category features clothing, accessories and textiles that are historically significant because of who designed or made them, or because they capture a historically significant trend, material use or construction technique.

Luxury Handbags & Accessories

Hermès, Louis Vuitton and Chanel are Freeman's | Hindman’s three top-selling brands for luxury handbags and accessories, with a near 100% sell-through rate in the Couture & Luxury Accessories auctions. These results follow an international trend on the secondary market, which continues to see Hermès and, specifically, the Hermès Birkin as the leading investment.

Freeman's | Hindman’s other top brands in this category include Gucci, Fendi, Yves Saint Laurent, Judith Leiber, Nancy Gonzalez and Lana Marks.

Furs

Freeman's | Hindman’s luxury fur category regularly features the top names in the fur industry, including Birger Christensen, Revillon, Dennis Basso, Fendi, J. Mendel, Valentino, Ralph Rucci, Chanel, Givenchy and Zandra Rhodes. The top-selling fur types include sable and chinchilla with bright colors and bold designs being the most popular.
