Buying Handbags at Garage Sales & Consignment Shops

Video Transcript

" Hello! My name is Denise Robinson on behalf of expertvillage.com. I am here to talk about the consignment shop and garage sales. In this segment, we are going to talk about the handbag. Looking for a good handbag, it’s a slight trick to that, but you can achieve it if you just think about it and just trust your judgment. I always smell everything, and it has to, because you are buying used items and you want to make sure that you get the best quality of item that you can possibly find. This particular bag I found in a thrift shop in Northern California, it is an Enoch Holland bag, which is a purse designer that was from Medina, Texas, his company started in 1959 and he had the company up until 70, which he sold it to the Tandy Leather Company. This is a vintage bag canvas and I bought it for $6, but if you find one now in mint condition and you can buy anywhere from $20 to $200. It is just a nice canvas bag, leather, and his claim to fame was ornate decorated flowers, peacocks and so on, but when purchasing bag you just want to make sure that smells to your pleasing that is in good quality."
