😬Have I ever told you how my handbag obsession started?👛⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Growing up, we never had any name brand or designer things unless it was a hand-me-down from one of my mom's customers. She sews & sometimes would trade for our clothes. 👗⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ When I was in pharmacy school, my mother got a @Coach bag as a present & said it was too fancy for her to use every day so she gave it to me. 👜That was the NICEST bag I had ever owned. The quality was AMAZING, and I was hooked. 🥰⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I started reading all about Coach bags, going down the rabbit hole, and found @purseblog. And that was the gateway bag to all of my other bags! LOL! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I own a lot of pre-loved bags, and there's no shame in that! 🤗 ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Personally, I have pre-loved bags from:⁣ ❣️ @eBay (NOW they have authenticated bag!)⁣ ❣️ consignments (@therealreal, @luxurygaragesale, @clothescircuit, @femininefashions) ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ My friends have purchased items from:⁣ ❣️ @juliaroseboston⁣ ❣️ @keekshandbags⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Many times, you can find vintage bags at a better price: ⁣ ❣️ @kcaprivateshopper⁣ ❣️ @vintagemartini⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ DO YOU OWN ANY PRE-LOVED BAGS!?️ WHERE DID YOU GET IT FROM?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Bookmark this post if you need to check out the above! 👆🏼⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This year, I purchased a full price bag for myself for my birthday @neimanmarcus! 🎉It was the #Chanel19 bag & @styled.by.amandab was the one that found this unicorn! 🦄Sometimes, it okay to get a new one too! 😉 Stay GLAM, Do Good 😘💋 Rxoxo, Sam⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #styleofsam #makesustainablestyleglam #ilovechanel
