Under the Hammer!

Stylish & Sustainabl­e? Yes, Please!

-

We’re noticing at HotLotz that more and more millennial­s are bidding online and walking through our doors looking for vintage luxury items. It’s a trend being repeated around the world. Consigning items you no longer need is a brilliant way to extend the life of luxury, giving a new chapter to designer pieces (as well as providing a useful return for you!).

So, if the millennial­s think buying sustainabl­y is cool, then it must be, right?

This demand for high-quality pieces from buyers across the world has inspired us to work with our internatio­nal partner, the-saleroom.com, once again. We are currently looking for consignmen­t for two sales in April: Jewellery & Watches, and

Designer & Luxury (think handbags and other luxury branded goods) – both will be sold in an internatio­nal timed auction format via the-saleroom.com.

We love that more buyers are rejecting high retail prices and thinking about sourcing from the secondary market, which says something about both their style and their sustainabl­e choices. So, if you’ve got jewellery, watches, handbags or designer pieces that you’d like to give a new home, why not consign them to us? Email hello@hotlotz.com to start the ball rolling. Deadline for consignmen­t is Friday 6 March.

Finally, do you need a Valentine’s Day gift? Pop into the saleroom on Thursday 6 February between 6pm and 9pm for a glass of bubbles to view (and try!) jewellery from our Valentine’s sale.

MATTHEW ELTON is the founder of HotLotz, which holds curated auctions of hand-picked, eclectic items every week. Visit hotlotz.com for auction catalogues, download the app, or pop in for a visit at 120 Lower Delta Road, #01-15 Cendex Centre.

Don't miss Part 2 of our record - breaking single - owner collection, "Chinese Works of Art from the collection of Quek Kiok Lee". The catalogue is out on 14 February and bidding ends on 2 March.
