Press release -
This Spring's Great "Fashion Auction"
Today Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers launch this spring’s great “Fashion Auction”. It is the second time in the history of the company that we place the spotlight on international fashion with a rich selection of handbags, clothing and accessories from some of the most famous international brands.
Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Bottega Veneta – these are just a few of the names that we can currently present at online auction 1618. In total we offer 80 auction lots of a high quality at this theme auction and with the sensible valuations you have a great opportunity to make a good purchase.
About Hermès
The auction’s ultimate highlight is a "Kelly 28" bag of light leather and canvas from the legendary brand Hermès. They are also the creators behind some of the auction’s elegant silk scarves, not to mention a fine, vintage gilt bangle from approx. 1980 with blue, red and green enamel decorations.
A True Classic
Since its founding in 1919 Chanel has been a significant part of the fashion scene, and some of the brand's most famous icons are the black quilted bags with a chain strap. They can be found in two examples at this auction. With one of these bags combined with a black evening dress from the same brand you will be dressed for any occasion.
Travel in Style!
Are you one of those who love Louis Vuitton's equally classic design – then you have come to the right place. The auction can present 22 auction lots from the brand, which includes the well-known handbags, shoes and purses. It is rare to see such a large model of their coveted suitcase, as is the case with the offered vintage model from 1980.
Cool Quality Against Cold Weather
At the auction we also have two coats of grey mink from Kløve and Lønberg, who are known for their exquisite quality and furs that stand out from the more traditional models. One is with a hood and in hip-length, and the other is a short model with a large collar, but both will no doubt be the finishing touch to a cool night out on the town.
Do You Prefer Your Fashion with a Little More Zest?
Granted. Here at Bruun Rasmussen we love the classic designs from the major brands. But we also fully appreciate that sometimes you need a bit more zest in your wardrobe. Therefore, we are pleased to present the beautiful high boots of yellow ostrich leather from British Céline. Along with the green handbag from Italian Bottega Veneta, which since its founding in 1966 has stood as the epitome of superior craftsmanship and in recent years has found its way into fashion magazines all over the world.
Auction and Preview
The auction begins to close at 9 pm on Wednesday 4 May. You are welcome to come by our department at Sundkrogsgade 30 in Copenhagen or at Søren Frichs Vej 34 D in Aarhus to have a look at all the exciting lots. Where an item is located can be seen in its description on bruun-rasmussen.dk.

Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers is one of Scandinavia’s leading international auction houses, and one of Denmark’s oldest. It all started on 6 October 1948, when Arne Bruun Rasmussen conducted the first traditional auction in the saleroom at Bredgade 33 in Copenhagen. Today, Jesper Bruun Rasmussen stands at the helm of the family-run business together with the third generation of the family, his son Frederik and daughter Alexa, and the company’s CEO Jakob Dupont.
In 2004, the first online auction was launched, and today the auction house has expanded to include departments in Copenhagen and Aarhus and representations in Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Spain, Italy, Thailand and the US. About 100,000 lots are auctioned off each year at the traditional auctions and daily online auctions. Here you can bid on everything from art, antiques, modern design and jewellery to books, coins, stamps, wine and weaponry.
