San Diego Handbag Buyer Offers Tips to Sellers
San Diego Jewelry Buyers, California’s most prominent used designer handbag buyer, has announced the publication of a new consumer guide. The article of tips (titled “Is My Designer Handbag Authentic or a Knockoff?”) is for women seeking to sell pre-owned luxury purses made by Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel, Prada, Hermes, and other top brands.
“We often have customers call us wondering how they can tell for sure if their designer handbag is authentic,” says an SDJB spokesperson. “While it often requires a professional handbag buyer or authorized dealer to fully authenticate a luxury purse, there are a few basic things that all people can do to check whether their ladies handbag is the genuine article or a fake.”
A couple of tips which handbag sellers can find in “Is My Designer Handbag Authentic or a Knockoff?” are:
— Check the stitching. One reason high-end handbags from brands like Hermes and Prada cost so much is that they are very carefully made by highly trained craftspeople. Check the stitching in spots not easy to see and look for sloppiness, unraveling, and/or inconsistency. The color of the stitching should be the same everywhere. Also check the overall complexity of the stitching pattern. If your handbag looks stitched together in a very simple pattern, then it is likely a knockoff.
— Check the materials. While some knockoffs are made from real leather, the quality of the leather is not equal to that of a designer bag from say Fendi or Louis Vuitton. The leather of a faux designer purse tends to be stiffer, slicker, and/or shinier. It will often also show discoloration and have an uneven look or texture. If you see crackles in the “leather” of your wallet or purse, that’s a bad sign. If your handbag feels rather light, that’s not a good sign either, as this means it likely has been made with plastic.

San Diego Trends: Sell Used Handbags for Cash
San Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) is reporting that its new buying service for used luxury handbags, purses, and wallets is exceeding expectations. “The daily purchases and collateral loans that we make on pre-owned designer purses and handbags has been steadily increasing every week thanks to the word of mouth advertising of our customers,” says an SDJB spokesperson.
Launched in April, San Diego Jewelry Buyers’ pre-owned purse buying service is attracting sellers from around the San Diego area, including the communities of La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, and Carlsbad. SDJB was initially buying ladies handbags from only a couple of premium brands, but they are now purchasing luxury purses and wallets from Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Hermes, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, and Fendi.
“Essentially, we buy designer handbags if they come from a highly sought-after luxury brand, are in good condition, and their authenticity can be verified,” says SDJB. Potential sellers who are unsure if SDJB might be interested in buying their high-end purses or wallets are encouraged to email or call the company toll free.
Once interviewed by KUSI news for a special report on how to sell gold without getting scammed, San Diego Jewelry Buyers has long been recognized as one of San Diego’s most trusted and respected buyers of pre-owned gold jewelry, diamonds, watches, and sterling silver flatware. Its new designer handbag buying service is thus a logical extension of its business in buying and providing collateral loans on luxury assets.
“In the past, women frequently overlooked the hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars that are sitting on their closet shelves in the form of un-utilized designer handbags or purses,” says SDJB. “But this is changing. Our clients now realize that by selling these items which they are no longer using for quick cash, they can raise instant money that can be put to a better purpose, whether it be to buy a new trendy handbag they’ve had their eye on, or just socking it away for a rainy day. The point is that good money could be going to waste in the form of stagnant assets. It’s just good housekeeping to clean house and don’t let those assets go to waste.”
San Diego Jewelry Buyers’ success in attracting so many people who want to sell their luxury handbags is its 30 year track record of making fair and immediate cash offers on estate jewelry, used gold, loose diamonds, and pre-owned timepieces–a track record of satisfied customers that is demonstrated by the dozens of 5 star customer reviews that the company has received on sites such as Google Reviews, Yahoo Local, and Insiderpages.
In addition, SDJB is the only company in the San Diego area that is providing immediate cash for ladies handbags. The only other option available to women who want to sell their high-end purses is to try to sell them to an online handbag buyer or via an online classifieds site such as Craigslist. But due to issues related to fraud and security, women are finding that San Diego Jewelry Buyers is the better place to go. Not only does SDJB offer a fast free appraisal and instant cash payment in a safe environment, they provide other conveniences and services, such as attentive staff, free parking directly in front of its Gaslamp (downtown San Diego) store, and other items for sale that customers can browse in its showroom, which include designer sunglasses, vintage handbags, used luggage, fine jewelry, diamonds and luxury watches.
