Buying Handbags at Garage Sales & Consignment Shops: Part 3

Video Transcript

" Hello! My name is Denise Robinson, and on behalf of expertvillage.com I am here to talk about consignment shops and garage sales. Now this is the second phase, we are going to talk about handbags again. The Rodo Italian handbag, this is what I found at a garage sale for $3, and if you look inside it is a leather, it is a vintage bag, and I tend to like vintage things and antiques. I looked it up and this particular bag used to sell at Neiman Marcus and Harrods, and if you brought it new at that time it was $250, and they discontinued this style. So if you find one in mint condition, it’s very rare…nice little After Five bag are you can wear with casual clothes. This is another little After Five bag that I found at a garage sale, it is tortoise shell. It is in mint condition, and it is strung together with string, little string. The satin, sides and inside. Again, you just want to check your bags on the inside and out, smell and make sure that there is no deterioration, or if the bag is beyond repair, maybe not get it. And last but not least, the straw kind of woven bag, it is popular and with clothing and jewelry and handbags; fashion cycles around, and if you keep it long enough, it will come right back around to you."
