This store is owned by Sandra and her husband Tomas Weddle. They have been operating this store for 10 years but have over 15 years experience in the authentication of designer brands.
If you are looking for couture, high end, handbag heaven then this 2,000 sq. foot store is it. They specializes in bags with names like Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, HermĆØs, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, and Fendi. Everything is guaranteed to be authentic. The have new and pre owned bags. On the day I visited a new $6,000, caviar navy Chanel bag was being photographed and uploaded to the stores Instagram. A Yelp check in will net you a coupon for $75 off of a Chanel or a Louis Vuitton bag, It's definitely one of the highest check in offers I have ever seen.
In addition to purses they also sell clothing, shoes, and jewelry. This is not your average thrift store, a pre owned handbag can still sell here for $1,000 but they had a few bags in the $200 range. There was even a clearance table with a selection of bags on it. At any given time they have 400 bags in stock to chose from. If you have a high end designer bag they will purchase yours too if you are interested in selling.
During my visit I got a chance to chat with the owner Sandra who is an absolute sweetheart. She answered all my questions and let me take all the pictures I wanted. She even let me touch the $6,000 Chanel bag. If the bag is a consignment piece Sandra can't lower the price but if it is one of her bags she will work with you. It doesn't hurt to ask. You get a certificate of authenticity with your purchase so you can rest assured you are getting the real deal. Ultimately I didn't buy anything. If I have an extra grand to kick around I want the I Phone 11 pro but if money were no object, I would have a piece of arm...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy mother was gifted some bags, and my sister and I were looking for a place to check authenticity when we came across this store. Upon the initial call, the gentleman who answered (owner) was forthright with his knowledge and recommended I visit a certain website where it would be more cost efficient for me to check authenticity as it is most likely a fake. Shortly after I forgot the website name and called back. After a brief conversation, I ended up coming over to the store with a Hermes Birkin Bag. The birkin was fake (it took him all but 5 seconds to know lol) but he was educational, patient, and kind throughout the entire process. After further conversation, it came up there were other bags we were curious about. He said to bring them by not to worry about the authenticity charge and he'll check them out. We bought a fendi bag and some scarves (louis vuitton, channel, hermes, etc...). The fendi was real yay! He advised me to keep it instead but him and his wife also gave me a price it could go for if I do not go with consignment. They inspected the scarves and gave us $500 cash. All the while having great conversation and explaining what to look for in the material for authenticy. I 100% recommend this store for the service,...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIf I could give this store 10 stars I would. My son and I were in S.FL visiting family. We live in Texas and I just had to stop by here before we went back home. I love consignment stores and love luxury purses. We have nothing like this in SA. The store has a great collection of any luxury brand you can think of. The owner was beyond lovely to my son and I. She helped me pick out a LV wallet for my husband (who LOVED LOVED it, so thank you) and a Gucci for myself. I would have definitely bought more if I had extra room in my luggage. She was so nice to mijo who had just woken up from a nap. We chatted for a bit but she had another customer waiting. I could have stayed and talked longer with her. She held the door open for me as my son was in a stroller and walked us out. I miss S.FL and experiences like this are why. I look forward to visiting her and the store again. Followed the store on IG (follow them too, you wonāt be disappointed ) so I can see all the great purses they get in! Highly recommend stopping in, even if itās just to look around. Iām sure something will...
