The Client
New Vintage Handbags is a US online store for pre-loved luxury handbags, and we rebuilt their Google Ads, which took monthly ad revenue from a $10,644 average to $24,213 in four months. They sell authenticated pre-owned designer bags, with Louis Vuitton at the center of the range, plus hand-painted bags and accessories like coin pouches.
We rebuilt the account in October 2025. From January to August 2025, before the rebuild, Google Ads brought in about $10,644 a month.
$10,644 a month before the rebuild. $24,213 in January 2026.
The Challenge
Google Ads for luxury handbags is a trust business with expensive clicks:
- High-value, careful buyers. An average order of more than $1,000 means shoppers compare, check authenticity and come back before they buy.
- Big resale platforms. Large luxury resale marketplaces bid on the same designer and model searches.
- Brand-name products. Almost every search names a designer, so the feed and ads have to match the exact bag people want.
- Broken measurement. Purchase tracking had gaps, so bidding could not see which campaigns were producing sales.
What We Built
1. Tracking Rebuilt First
In October 2025 purchase tracking was rebuilt on a server-side setup, so every sale reports its real order value back to Google Ads and bidding works from real revenue.
2. A Louis Vuitton Performance Max Engine
Instead of relying on general campaigns, we built a Performance Max campaign dedicated to Louis Vuitton, the store's core demand. It produced $41,756 in revenue in four months, more than two thirds of the total.
3. Product-Focused Tests
A Louis Vuitton Shopping campaign ran beside it as a test, and in December we launched a separate Performance Max campaign for coin pouches, a lower-priced entry product.
4. Brand Protection
A brand Search campaign covers searches for the New Vintage Handbags name and returned $8,261 on $684 of spend.
5. Daily Optimization via Ad Campaign Concierge™
The account was reviewed through our proprietary Ad Campaign Concierge™ system: search-term mining, bid and budget adjustments, and budget moved toward the bags that were selling.
The Results
- Before the rebuild (January to August 2025): about $10,644 a month
- December 2025: $23,187 from 22 orders
- January 2026: $24,213, more than twice the 2025 monthly average
- Four months total: $60,927 in ad revenue from 52 orders, with an average order of about $1,160
What Improved
| Metric | Jan to Aug 2025 (before) | Dec 2025 to Jan 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ad revenue a month | $10,644 | $23,700 | +123% |
| Orders a month | 7.5 | 19.5 | 2.6x |
| Ad clicks a month | 2,461 | 5,862 | 2.4x |
January 2026 on its own returned $7.27 for every $1 of ad spend, up from $5.80 before the rebuild, and 0.44% of clicks became an order, up from 0.30%.
Month by Month, Before and After
Revenue Since the Rebuild
$60,927 in online revenue from the ads in four months, with December and January together producing $47,400.
Key Takeaways
- Fix measurement before scaling. Rebuilding purchase tracking gave bidding real order values to work with.
- Build around the core brand. A Performance Max campaign for Louis Vuitton alone produced most of the ad revenue.
- Protect the store's own name. The brand campaign returned about $12 for every $1.
- Luxury buyers are worth the click. With an average order near $1,160, a few extra sales a month change the business.
