It’s All About the Bags

Shopping for the perfect handbag is no easy feat, especially on a budget.

I love bags and I’m always on the hunt for the next new addition, but obviously, price is the limiting factor. So I check several sites for deals and one of them is Bags Bonanza, the sister site to Bonanza. It is similar to eBay but without the bidding.

Bags Bonanza is an online marketplace to buy and sell handbags and other related accessories. It is easy to navigate, filter selections, and browse by brand, material, style, and price. As with any other buy/sell site, you have to do your research to find the best deals and authentic products.

Tips for Navigating Bags Bonanza

1. Read item descriptions carefully and always request for more photos, authenticity tags/cards, measurements, and quality of the bag if it’s not listed
2. Read the seller’s profile, policies, and reviews to determine if they are legitimate
3. Compare prices with listings of the same item from other sites
4. Cross reference the listing with The Purse Forum for authenticity
5. Trust your gut, if it looks too good to be true, it might be

High-End Designers

If you’re searching for top of the line luxury bags like Hermes, Chanel, Balenciaga, and Chloe, you’ll quickly discover that most are pre-owned. Since these brands are highly coveted, the selection is limited and you’re not going to score major discounts. Still, every once in a while you could luck out, like with this YSL bag.

Mid-Range Designers

From Rebecca Minkoff to Michael Kors, you’ll find many handbags that are NWT (new with tags). The selection pool is significantly larger than the high-end designer bags and with it comes a wider price range. Take your time to refine your selections and you’ll uncover some gems like this Kate Spade Evangeline. If you don’t get it, I will.

Vintage Handbags

Not only are there plenty of designer bags listed, but there are some quality vintage handbags too. Pay attention to construction, stitching, hardware, and other details to make sure you purchase one in good condition. Brands aren’t as important as the design and the condition of the bag which makes these bags the most affordable on the site. For example, this black purse is one fine specimen!

So, now you know what Bags Bonanza is all about, I encourage you to check it out, use it, and send me your honest feedback. Personally, I like it better than eBay because I hate bidding and waiting for an auction to end…you can skip the waiting and purchase the bag. If you want to negotiate and haggle, contact the seller and they might work with you. Plus, Bags Bonanza runs a blog about all things fashion and handbag-related from how to spot fakes to the perfect outfits to pair with structured bags.
