High-value transactions were also active. The most expensive item sold was a "Rolex GMT-Master II," which was purchased for 51.5 million won. The jewelry category is emerging as a core asset group with strong value retention, driven by rising raw material prices for gold and rare gemstones, and the report states that transaction volume in this category surged by 381% compared to the previous year.


In terms of brand preference, Chanel ranked first, followed by Louis Vuitton and Prada. According to the report, Louis Vuitton is perceived as a "safe asset type" brand for luxury beginners, thanks to its overwhelming recognition and high liquidity.


Overseas transactions are also on the rise. Analysis of Bungaejangter's overseas transaction data shows that 51.7% of total export value was concentrated in North America. In the U.S. market, high-priced items such as the "Louis Vuitton Mirror Monogram Trunk," valued at around 6.5 million won, and the "Visvim Shirt Jacket," priced in the 5 million won range, were actively traded, indicating that Korea is serving as a key gateway in the global value circulation ecosystem.



A Bungaejangter representative stated, "Luxury recommerce is no longer just an alternative consumption method, but a strategic asset management approach for a smart generation seeking to maximize product value," adding, "Going forward, Bungaejangter will continue to set new standards for the recommerce ecosystem, where the value of products circulates seamlessly across borders through a trusted infrastructure."
