1,000s of shoppers camp on street in hopes of snapping up luxury bags

Thousands of fashionistas lined the streets, camped out on pavements - and even jumped on a flight - to join other hopefuls looking for a bargain at a flash sale in central London on designer handbags. Despite an hours-long wait to get to the front of the queue, hordes of shoppers politely waited for their turn inside Sellier, in Knightsbridge, Kensington, on Saturday morning. Founded in 2019, Sellier has established itself as a purveyor of pre-loved luxury bags selling for thousands of pounds - and yet at a fraction of their original cost. Shoppers were given strict 10-minute time slots and only one bag per person could be purchased. The first customer through the doors arrived at 1am to beat off up to 2,000 standing behind her. Within moments she had selected a Chanel Vintage Classic Flap Bag in black quilted lambskin leather.
