About The Hosta

Founded in 2020 by Danni Dance, whose two decades in luxury bag design span brands like COS, Hunter and Nanushka, The Hosta is a UK based destination for those who value enduring style and exceptional craftsmanship. Rated Excellent on Trustpilot, we are trusted by a growing global community of discerning collectors and fashion lovers alike.

Our curated edit of authenticated vintage and pre owned designer bags reflects a deep respect for design heritage and a commitment to sustainability. Each piece is carefully selected not only for its aesthetic and quality but for its ability to stand the test of time—bags meant to be carried, cherished and recirculated.

We champion fashion that lasts. Buying pre owned is one of the most powerful choices you can make toward reducing fashion’s environmental impact. By keeping exceptional pieces in use, we honour their craftsmanship, lessen the demand for new production and promote a more circular model of consumption.

Every item at The Hosta is personally handled and thoroughly inspected in house. Our authentication process is led by experienced specialists who check stitching, materials, hardware and branding details in line with original designer standards. We also use Entrupy, a leading AI driven authentication tool, to support our in depth checks with the latest technology. This dual approach ensures that every bag we sell is 100 percent authentic and backed by confidence.

Our selection evolves daily, offering a distinctive 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 a seamless experience.

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.
