Purses For Sale

Purses For Sale kind of sounds like winning the lottery to me. When I began buying purses online, I wasn't as interested in the designer handbags as I am now.

So, when I found out how important it is to look for a legitimate dealer when you want to buy a purse for sale online, I was surprised and disgusted. Primarily, I was disappointed to learn that online predators had sunk to cheating people looking for ways to buy their purses online.

And, when you are looking for a legitimate wholesaler of designer handbags it becomes even more difficult to find a designer purse from a reputable business that isn't trying to unload a fake at an original price.

What to look out for when you buy purses for sale online:  Caution is critical

• A Company that just takes your money and runs - Make sure you check their record or get a referral from a good friend before you send money.
• A legitimate company that claims to be have authentic designer purses for sale as a wholesaler of authentic designer handbags, but only sells high-quality fake designer knock offs from a foreign trader in a place that hires eight-year-olds and pays them $0.80 a day to make your purse or handbag or wallet.
• A wholesale list for sale on an auction site - There is an entire business just dealing in these lists and e-books - The majority of which are worthless. A crook can easily and simply create a phony list in a matter of minutes, complete with pictures of 'non-existent' merchandise. Often the 'list' looks thrown together, with spelling and grammar errors that are obvious - watch for that too!
• Be sure, if you order and buy any purse(es) for sale, that you are using a method of payment that can be disputed - i.e. credit card - if you have a problem. If you send money that can't be returned or disputed then you are just handing a thief a key to your safety deposit box. Since you only have a limited dispute time with most banks - stay on top of your order and don't fail to thoroughly inspect each item in your shipment - IF you get your shipment.

These kinds of 'jump companies,' are usually gone overnight (as soon as they get your cash in their hands), which is why you never get your order.

My grandparents owned a department store in the town I was born in. There is no wholesale business around that only sells one item at a time, so if you find a purse for sale from an online wholesale store that claims that you can order whatever you like - They are lying. There is no wholesaler like that in the real world.

• Normal wholesale shops have orders that require a minimum purchase of the same item. They also require that you purchase several items at the minimum order level, not just one or 'a few.' That's how they sell, otherwise they are a boutique. Drop shippers are normally the only exception to this rule. Occasionally these wholesale shops make you take lesser items to get the full order of some highly popular item.

If your purses for sale are from a legitimate wholesaler, they will:

• Be authentic - Authentic bags come with authenticity tags and/or bags and dust covers.
• Sell wholesale at 50-75% (or sometimes more in an off season) off - so you are able to realize a profit from your sale (especially since you are normally required to buy in bulk).
• Have NO problem in issuing a money-back guarantee and have it stated in writing or in a certificate form that you can easily check.
• Not allow any hidden or additional fees with your order - those fees will not exist.
• Will require you to make a minimum order of the same or a similar item. Some are as low as 5 of the same kind, others require more than 5. But ALL have a minimum order number you must order - none allow only single item orders.
• Have complete contact information that is easily accessible to you - including address, phone, email, fax, a telephone contact person who you can talk to about your order during regular business hours and days . . .
• Never makes claims to sell purses wholesale if they cannot really sell them wholesale - Certain designers only sell through their own boutiques, which means that the only way you can get one of their designer handbags is to own a boutique of theirs. Their reputation is critical to their success so they guard it like a bank guards its safe.

Brighton, for instance, has a very strict policy about who handles their merchandise. Boutiques go through a rigid acceptance application that includes a scheduled appointment and visit from a Brighton agent to the store or boutique. So, the only way to get a purse for sale from them is to sell them at your store, otherwise you are getting a knock off. It may be a nice copy, but it is not an original designer purse for sale.

• Since my grandparents sold their store when I was 16-years-old, I have loved a few favorite purses. Some are newer to the market, others have been around for awhile.

Some Gucci History -

Gucci opened their first store in 1921. The first store was a leather goods store opened in Florence by Guccio Gucci. His original designs and bags were crafted after the Tuscan artisans. Every season when they announce their new line, I just can't wait to see it! In the 1930's, Gucci popularized their line of Equestrian bags - absolutely wow - to this day! When times were tough and materials were rationed and limited, or sparse, Gucci made lemonade out of lemons and designed such things as the bamboo bag. His passing in the early 50's, left his Gucci legend to his sons, Algo, Vasco, Ugo and Roldolfo to continue the business. The Gucci business continued to grow and cater to the most famous of celebrities and icons alike - with many Gucci designs decorating Museums and institutes all over the world. Their specialty from their beginnings to now continue to honor the timeless classics that I truly love.

Who has primarily created designs in black and geometric. Dolce and Gabbana began when Domino Dolce and Stefano Gabbana formed a partnership in Milan, Italy, in 1985.

Their younger styled line is more relaxed and casual, which is fun when you want something less traditional! I've always been a fan of their designs, but always went for the all black purses for sale in their lines.  Because I got the same purse, but just for less money.

Founded in Milan, Italy in 1913, by Mario Prada, and created by Mario and his brother, Martino. Originally, Prada began as a leather goods shop, and an importer of handbags and English steamer trunks. So, again, I find their classic lines amazing and beautiful and practical for both women - AND men! They have been in the spotlight for their labor practices, but are working those issues out for the betterment of the people. From Beverly Hills to Moscow, their stores are recognized world-wide. It's the feel, color and style of the leather purses that I love so much about Prada purses!

It took me awhile to appreciate these bags because I never really liked the line until recently. My reasons are many, really, but what I like most about them now is that they have designed a more classic look lately that I can really appreciate! Otherwise, I just thought that they were a bunch of overpriced, ugly purses for sale, with loose threads hanging off of them.

Fendi was founded in 1925, by Adele Casagrande, in Rome, Italy. What began as a baguette handbag fur and leather shop evolved into a multinational luxury goods store with stores and offices all over the world. My favorite piece of printed gossip about Fendi is when Naomi Campbell was relieved from her position as Spokesperson for People for the ethical treatment of animals when she wore a fur coat to a Fendi fashion show. I know it's not funny, but if you grew up on a farm, it sure is.

• OK, I saved my favorite for last:

Juicy Couture - Hobo -

Juicy is newest to the scene of my favorite purse. They were founded in 1994, in Pacoima, Los Angeles, California by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor, at a time when I was trying to raise a teenager. 

Jennifer and I shopped for purses on sale at Nordstrom and we both loved the purses they carried. Since their beginning, Liz Claiborne has taken over ownership of the company to become parent company to juicy Couture.

Whatever mood you are in, you can find a purse for sale from this line that will compliment the style. My favorite is a long handled vacation purse that I got about 8 years ago-put away for vacations only.

Just like me, they (Juicy Couture) are made in the, "Glamorous USA!"

Whatever your choice, and I didn't even mention my other favorites, like Etro, Marc Jacobs, and Coach, you'll find some great ideas and deals if you use caution and are ready and willing to take the time looking for legitimate dealers!

Truly, the only real problem I have with purses for sale - Choices!
