Armani Resale Value Guides

67 guides to what used Armani is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Armani is four labels, not one, and they are worth wildly different amounts. Reading the label correctly is the whole job — an Armani Exchange jacket and a Giorgio Armani one share almost nothing but a surname.

Which Armani pieces hold their value

  • Giorgio Armani, the main line, whose soft unstructured tailoring is what the house is actually known for and what holds its price
  • Armani Collezioni, discontinued in 2017, which sat just below the main line and is now finite in supply
  • Vintage 1980s and 1990s Giorgio Armani tailoring, which is collected for the deconstructed cut that defined the decade
  • Emporio Armani watches and eyewear, which are made under licence but carry the eagle mark buyers search for

And what pulls the price down

  • Armani Exchange and A|X pieces, which are the high-street line and have very little resale value regardless of condition
  • Unstructured jackets that have lost their shape on a wire hanger, since the whole point of the cut is the drape and it does not recover
  • Shoulder pads that have compressed or shifted inside the lining, which is a tailoring repair most buyers will not pay for
  • Faded black suiting, where repeated dry cleaning has taken the depth out of the cloth and left it reading grey

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

  1. The label names the line directly — Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Emporio Armani or Armani Exchange — and that name is the single biggest price factor
  2. Emporio pieces carry the eagle logo; the main line uses a plain typographic label, which is the quickest way to tell the two apart in a photograph
  3. The composition and country label sits in the inside pocket or side seam and is worth photographing, since the main line is made in Italy

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Armani worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Armani is four labels, not one, and they are worth wildly different amounts. Reading the label correctly is the whole job — an Armani Exchange jacket and a Giorgio Armani one share almost nothing but a surname. Each guide below says which Armani lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Armani?

The label names the line directly — Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Emporio Armani or Armani Exchange — and that name is the single biggest price factor. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
