Trying to snag luxury goods in Russia today? Good luck. Boutiques are basically extinct, and private sellers are slapping outrageous price tags on questionably real items. Here’s how to buy legit Louis Vuitton, Hermès, or Chanel in 2025 — without getting scammed by fakes.

Luxury pieces once tucked away in private collections – think rare watches, pristine handbags, heirloom jewelry, even barely-worn designer clothing – are flooding the secondary market in shockingly good condition. This isn’t just resale – it’s quietly becoming the next big investment play. Don’t be surprised if these ‘wearable assets’ start rivaling real estate portfolios in the next few years.
