Christie's has been auctioning handbags since 1978, with a special Coco Chanel wardrobe auction sealing the auction house's reputation in fine and coveted handbags and accessories. Since then, the house has put on dedicated accessory auctions since 2012. Per the Christie's website, a recent rendition of Handbags Online: The New York Edit featured pieces from Chanel, Hermès and more. In all, handbag and accessories sales totaled $3,260,880.

Rebag's founder Charles Gorra told WWD that the special touch is in the curation.

"Rebag continues to push the resale market's boundaries through a partnership with the iconic Christie's auction house," he said. "We are proud to offer an exclusive, unparalleled assortment of rare and highly coveted handbags. Collectors will relish the opportunity to secure the most exceptional pieces in our expertly vetted inventory, particularly rare and limited-edition designer styles."

The New York Edit runs through June 12 online as a part of Christie's New York Luxury Week.
