THE MENUE was founded in 2022 in the Netherlands, but in many ways, it began much earlier.

My love affair with designer bags began long before I could afford one. At seventeen, after saving up, I finally bought my first: the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 in Damier Ebene. My parents didn't fully understand it, but I knew exactly what I was doing. Over the years, I bought and sold countless vintage and pre-owned pieces. Each one taught me something about quality, value, and how luxury, when chosen with intention, becomes deeply personal.

Refining a wardrobe over time also taught me something less obvious: it is sometimes for the better to say goodbye to the beautiful items you once loved. That creates space in many ways, but more importantly, it creates a chance for them at newfound love with a new owner.

That is the belief THE MENUE was built on. Our mission is to find new homes for pre-owned luxury, to assure a continuation of the love these pieces so deservingly carry. We curate with timelessness in mind, and we are deliberate about what we take on. Pre-owned means each piece has already lived a life, so we only source items that meet our criteria for condition, completeness, and durability. We trust them to stand the test of time, and we would like to prolong their lives with new, loving owners.

Watching THE MENUE grow into what it is today still feels surreal. It is, without exaggeration, a dream I once carried very privately, and one I hope translates into joy for everyone who finds something here.

Yours truly, Marceline, founder and owner of THE MENUE
