About us

I am Miki, the owner of VINTAGE QUEEN Ltd.
I have been collecting Louis Vuitton since 1998 and have a particular love for vintage Vuitton and rare items. When I was in my twenties, I lived in EU, where Louis Vuitton was a familiar presence. Since then, I have loved the good old products of Louis Vuitton.

There was a time when I stopped being a collector of Louis Vuitton, let go of everything, and was involved in a completely different business.
In 2003, reuniting with Oliver Stehling in Tokyo reignited my love for Louis Vuitton.
Oliver is a renowned Louis Vuitton collector from Austria, well-known in the EU.

I have always loved vintage. In the past, my grandfather used to run a museum, and our house was filled with antiques.
Growing up in such an environment, I find happiness in living surrounded by good old things.

My team searches for vintage Louis Vuitton items through a network of collectors, pawn shops, auctions, and second-hand stores.
We authenticate these items to ensure their authenticity, clean them up, and then deliver them to you.

 

Miki Zechner
CEO of VINTAGE QUEEN Ltd.

I established my company in 2005, initially focusing on exporting Japanese products from Japan to international markets. This year, we are celebrating our 19th anniversary. Currently, besides selling vintage brand items, I am also involved in selling organic cosmetic products through another company. My focus is on promoting an environmentally friendly lifestyle, valuing vintage items, and advocating the practice of using things for a long period and taking good care of them.

 

 

Oliver Stehling
Honorary advisor for LOUIS VUITTON

Oliver Stehling has been working as a repair specialist at Louis Vuitton Austria since 1987 and later contributed in the same capacity in both Austria and Switzerland for Louis Vuitton.

From repairs to restorations, ranging from cases to wardrobes, everything was repaired and restored at the Louis Vuitton workshop in Vienna. Until 2009, the world's finest local Louis Vuitton workshop was based in Vienna. After the Louis Vuitton workshop closed in 2009, he took a 10-year break from the profession, but in 2021, he returned to Vienna Hietzing as a former general repairer of the old Louis Vuitton repair studio.

He was once fixing brand new products, but now he is one of the top specialists at Louis Vuitton, having repaired thousands of vintage bags.

He truly knows every Louis Vuitton product inside out.

Currently, he has clients worldwide, particularly in German-speaking countries, repairing Louis Vuitton's vintage bags. It's likely that no one else possesses the high level of skill needed to repair vintage Louis Vuitton bags like he does. Therefore, his repair services are always fully booked, and clients may have to wait months.

He is also a collector of Louis Vuitton. He loves Louis Vuitton and was walking around Tokyo in 2023, searching for rare items.

We are extremely honored to have him collaborate with us as an advisor for Vintage Vuitton Japan.
