About The Hosta
Founded in 2020 by Danni Dance, whose two decade career in luxury bag development spans names like COS, Hunter and Nanushka, The Hosta is a UK based destination for those who value enduring style, thoughtful curation and exceptional craftsmanship.
Rated Excellent on Trustpilot, we are trusted by a growing global community of collectors, stylists and fashion lovers who share our appreciation for quality pieces with lasting relevance.
Our edit of authenticated vintage and pre owned designer bags reflects a deep respect for design heritage and a firm commitment to sustainability. Every piece is carefully chosen not just for its aesthetic or label, but for its ability to stand the test of time, bags to be carried, cherished and recirculated.
At The Hosta, we believe in fashion that lasts. Choosing pre owned is one of the most meaningful actions you can take to reduce fashion’s environmental footprint. By keeping exceptional items in circulation, we honour their craftsmanship, reduce waste and promote a more circular, considered way of consuming.
Every item is personally handled and meticulously inspected in house. Our authentication process is led by experienced specialists who assess materials, stitching, hardware and branding against original designer standards. We also partner with Entrupy, a leading AI powered authentication tool, to support our detailed checks with advanced technology. This dual approach ensures every bag we offer is 100 percent authentic and sold with complete confidence.
Our selection evolves daily, offering a distinct mix of quietly refined and boldly expressive styles, often up to 50 percent below original retail. With fast shipping, eco conscious packaging and dedicated service, we aim to make every purchase seamless, personal and considered.

We make it easy to sell your pre loved designer bags through our trusted consignment service. From authentication and pricing to photography and delivery, we handle every detail so your pieces are given the presentation they deserve.
At The Hosta, we believe in the beauty of intentionally chosen items and the stories they carry. Join us in extending the life of great design.
