📖 The Hustle
Train your eye to spot real Coach, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and Dooney & Bourke bags at thrift stores. Learn to check stitching quality, hardware weight, and serial numbers. Even worn bags can sell for $30-80 if they are authentic. Clean leather with saddle soap, polish hardware, and take photos in natural light. Poshmark buyers specifically search for discounted designer handbags every day.
🚀 First Step
Visit a thrift store in an affluent neighborhood, check the purse section, and look for leather bags with heavy hardware and clean stitching.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Learn to spot real vs fake by checking stitching evenness and hardware weight
- Clean bags with leather conditioner before photographing for a higher sale price
- Shop thrift stores near wealthy neighborhoods for better designer bag finds
