Why Fab5 Works for Co-Ownership

Each Fab5 curation highlights pieces that are both seasonal and timeless. By co-owning, members enjoy these works of craftsmanship during their most relevant seasons, then rotate into other icons—ensuring every bag lives a full, stylish life.

For September, our selection offers a perfect balance: heritage (Loewe, Gucci), bold modernity (Balenciaga), refined structure (Prada), and rich autumnal tones (Bottega). Together, they embody the essence of luxury for Autumn 2025.

September THE ONE: The Celine Antoinette Mini in Lizard

Each month, we crown THE ONE—the single handbag that perfectly captures the spirit of the season while promising enduring value. For September, we’ve chosen a piece that is as rare as it is refined: the Celine Antoinette Mini Bag in Lizard.

This bag is the definition of on trend yet timeless. Compact silhouettes continue to dominate fashion weeks, and exotic skins are enjoying a revival on the runways. Yet Celine’s Antoinette Mini transcends trends with its vintage-inspired shape and Parisian restraint. It’s a bag that feels thoroughly modern in Autumn 2025, but will still turn heads ten years from now.

The Antoinette has already been spotted on discerning style icons such as Naomi Watts, who was recently seen carrying hers in New York, sparking fashion press acclaim (Who What Wear). Celebrity adoption further underscores its status as a modern classic—an accessory that blends understated elegance with cultural cachet.

As with all exotic skin pieces, rarity enhances value. Much like the Hermès Birkin in crocodile or the Chanel Classic Flap in python, the Antoinette Mini’s investment appeal lies in its scarcity. These are the pieces collectors pursue—bags that hold value, and often appreciate, when kept in impeccable condition.

And that’s where More Luxury Club’s white-glove service makes the difference. Through expert cleaning, conditioning, and meticulous storage, we ensure that the Antoinette retains its original beauty season after season. Co-owners enjoy not only the joy of carrying this exquisite piece, but also the confidence that its quality and value are protected for the long term.

September’s THE ONE is more than a handbag. It’s a statement of modern luxury, a rare collectible, and a smart choice for those who believe style should be both beautiful and enduring.

✨ Would you co-own the Antoinette Mini this season?  We certainly would, we believe the Lizard version is a future heirloom in the making. 

From Ownership AND Access: Why Co-Ownership Fits the 2025 Luxury Consumer

Luxury buyers are rethinking how they consume
The Luxury Insights 2025 report shows that affluent buyers are shifting their spending habits: while beauty, fashion, and bags remain popular, growth is strongest in experiences like fine dining and luxury hotels. Nearly 30% of buyers research more and shop around, indicating weaker brand loyalty.

This reflects a broader market reality: Bain’s Luxury 2025 Outlook confirms that the industry is facing muted growth and “turbulent baselines” after slowing in 2024, with aspirational shoppers most affected. Consumers are becoming more price-conscious, with 63% seeking promotions in uncertain times.

Alternatives are going mainstream
Resale and rental are now embedded in luxury behaviour. The report shows 23% of HNWIs shop second-hand and 15% use rentals. In the wider market, ThredUp projects resale will reach $367bn globally by 2029, while Vestiaire Collective reports double-digit growth as consumers seek smarter access.

Luxury remains an investment — if chosen wisely
Iconic handbags continue to hold or grow in value. Rebag’s Clair Report found Hermès retains over 100% of value, while Chanel and Louis Vuitton average above 85% resale retention. In an era of fluctuating loyalty and spending restraint, buyers prioritise pieces that double as financial assets.

Why this matters for More Luxury Club

  • Co-ownership answers the call for value without compromise: members access iconic bags with strong resale profiles, while sharing capital risk.

  • With tariffs and price hikes raising RRPs, MLC decouples enjoyment from full ownership cost.

  • Unlike ad-hoc resale, co-ownership builds a premium circular system — curated, maintained, and liquid.

Bottom line: Luxury consumers want flexibility, lower risk, and smarter access. Co-ownership is the natural next step beyond rental and resale — giving members both the lifestyle and the investment logic they seek.
