I understand that while most visitors are interested in luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Hermes Birkin, I want to occasionally explore more of the people behind the companies offering affordable luxury items. 

Recently, I interviewed Frederick Manella for two articles that I link to at the bottom of this post.

Frederick’s professional background may have influenced his decision to offer pre-owned luxury handbags at his store in Beverly Hills and online through LXR & Co. 

He worked in marketing at BMW and then spent up to two years honing his business plan for LXR.

"Recognizing that many luxury product owners inevitably lose interest in a particular style or model," states the LXR site, "often wishing to replace it with the next piece of the moment, Frederick saw a unique opportunity for the redistribution of these products."

The company’s website recently launched and the concept includes high end contests and the chance to accumulate points via referrals.

“Each week we’ll be hosting a series of sales showcasing pieces from Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and a range of other designers.

You’ll have to get in quick though, because these are one-of-a-kind pieces and sales only last for a limited time.”

The site itself has a glamorous appeal and design.

During the remainder of November, online visitors can refer friends and increase the chances of winning up to $15,000 in luxury prizes.

LXR & Co. is also offering $ 25 to those who make referrals after an item ships.

Manella told me that he has up to 4,000 items in inventory at any one time and they’ll constantly rotate through the Beverly Hills store and online.
 

LXR & Co. pays cash for authentic pre-owned handbags and vintage jewelry.
