I’m looking to declutter my closet and have a few designer handbags I don’t use anymore. I want to sell them but I’m unsure about the best places to start in Chicago. Are there any specific boutiques or online platforms that offer fair prices?
I’ve heard both good and bad things about consignment shops, and I’m not really interested in lowball offers. Ideally, I want to find places that will appreciate my handbags as much as I do. Have any of you had positive experiences selling designer bags locally? What are your recommendations for getting the best value?
Check out places like The RealReal or Poshmark; they usually get good traffic for designer items. I sold a couple of bags on Poshmark last month and got decent offers. Also, if you’re into consignment, Marie Williams has a good reputation for taking care of high-end stuff. Just make sure to shop around for the best commission rates!
Try taking them to a place like Eighth Street Boutique; they sometimes really know their stuff and price things fairly. I sold a bag there last year and got more than I expected. If you’re looking online, Poshmark can be decent too, depending on the buyer. Just make sure to take good pics!
