New with Tags is the highest of the five condition grades on WishThrift. At this grade bags and handbags are listed across the full range for the category, $11 to $1,213 (about £8 to £900), because nothing has been discounted for wear. Unused, with the tag or the dust bag and the protective film still on the feet and the hardware. A bag carried once is Like New.
Where the line falls
A bag fails at its stress points long before the body wears out: the handle attachments, the zip slider and the corners that meet the ground.
For comparison, one step down is Like New Bags and Handbags.
