10/10

From start to finish my experience with The Hosta was exceptional. I emailed asking for more pictures and details about the bag, nothing was too much trouble. The shipping was fast and the bag was packaged beautifully. For me, it felt quite daunting buying a vintage item online, but I am so pleased I did. My bag is gorge and exactly as pictured and described! Thank you so much x

Best small business in the pre loved category out there!

I have purchased two pieces now from The Hosta and been so impressed by the care, service and the bags received.
The pictures accurately show the pre loved condition and Danni is so helpful sharing extra if needed. I am also reassured of the authenticity of the pieces given her expert knowledge.
I also recently got the Iris tote and the quality is out of this world. It might be one of my favourite if not my favourite bag ever. Materials and quality exceed expectations.

Consignment service- sold within 24 hours!

I recently sold a bag through The Hosta and cannot recommend the service enough. Danni was great throughout the process, arranging a day to suit me to collect my bag with a collection made door to door. The bag was then photographed and posted on her beautiful website and socials and sold within 24 hours!
Excellent service, great communication and personable approach to consignment selling.
Thanks so much!

The Hosta: a beautiful curation 🤎

The Hosta is such a beautiful curation. Stunning socials and descriptions. Danni ensures a first class and personal customer experience too. I bought a gorgeous and fair priced leopard print calf hair Fendi handbag. It’s in fantastic condition and has become a fast favourite. It arrived quickly and came beautifully wrapped with its own dust bag.
I always look to see what her latest drop will be and am already a repeat client!

Excellent bags , choice and service

Purchased 2 bags , both Bottega . I returned one as I didn’t think the leather straps would withstand my heavy handling . The other bag ,love at first sight and in excellent condition. Danni went above and beyond with additional pictures. Delivery was prompt and on the occasion that i needed a refund it was dealt with in a timely fashion. Eyeing up another Bottega in brown!

Purchase no.3

Purchased my third bag from The Hosta only two days ago and it arrived today. Love it, it’s perfect. I love Danni’s curated selection of bags and her really efficient and reliable customer service and contact is a massive plus. All round great business and I will continue to buy from her, not only for sustainability, but also because it’s a business worth investing in.

Great service, great handbags!

I’ve now purchased 2 bags, both Louis Vuitton, and I’m super happy with them! Danni is always quick to reply if you do have any queries, and is always friendly and approachable. The descriptions on the website are spot on. Would definitely recommend if you are a lover of gorgeous vintage bags!!

Great vintage bags store!!!

Fantastic selection of vintage bags at affordable prices! I recently bought a Celine and a Bottega bag from Danni and couldn't be happier. They both arrived exactly as described, in wonderful condition. Danni was super responsive as well as I was away and needed bags posted a bit later but wanted to snap them before someone else did. All the bags on the website are gorgeous, can't wait for the next drops!
If you want a vintage bag, The Hosta is THE place, give Danni a go, you won't regret it for a minute!

Quality vintage bags at a wonderful price!

I have purchased 3 wonderful vintage bags from The Hosta, with a 4th on the way! All of my bags have been as described and fairly priced (even with the additional shipping cost to the US). I feel confident that I will get a quality item when I purchase from Danni! She also has a great eye for styling and I love browsing her Instagram stories/feed for inspiration! I am looking forward to her upcoming vintage watch drop and will definitely be purchasing more items from her in the future :)

Beautiful Loewe vintage bag | 5* first buy with The Hosta

I had been patiently waiting for a LV mini Noe, but the moment this gorgeous vintage Loewe brown leather bucket bag turned up... it was fate and I had to buy it! The bag arrived in beautiful condition and I was so happy with the purchase. Danni, thank you for the wonderful and seamless customer service. For those looking to purchase a pre-loved / vintage item, I would highly recommend The Hosta!

Bought a beautiful PRADA rucksack from The Hosta. Makes me never want to buy new again it makes so much sense however the biggest selling point is Dani, the founder. Amazing customer service, knowledge and overall experience.

I’ve bought from The Hosta twice now, and it’s been such a great experience both times. Most recently got my dream bag a vintage leopard Fendi,which I’ve been looking for for a while. Absolutely love it so much. Will strongly recommend purchasing from Danni!
