It’s In The Bag

by Jenny Muslin – May 7, 2010

Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, YSL, did I get your attention yet? Now, what if I told you that you could snag the ultimate designer bag without the daunting price tag? BagAmbition.com is a shopaholic’s dream and comes at the perfect time for a fabulous Mother’s Day or graduation gift.

Bag Ambition founder and CEO, Barbara Conn, noticed that prices for designer bags were becoming astronomical and wanted to create a way that women could still own a coveted purse. After reaching out to friends, she began selling gently used handbags at reasonable prices through her Bag Ambition website. It wasn’t long before customers were selling and purchasing purses via BagAmbition.com from all over the country. Customers can consign their own handbags with the company or simply shop till they drop for themselves.  The website has recently begun adding designer shoes to their inventory, as well.

I know from experience that it takes a lot of research and trust to find a designer bag for less. With fakes out there that seriously rival the authentics, it’s not easy to be sure that what you’re getting is legit. Barbara and her team make sure that every bag on their site is 100% authentic.  As opposed to E-Bay, the customer knows who they’re buying their bag from.  Shipping is always free and if you live in Chicago, you’ll likely receive your bag within a day.  So, rather than break the bank on that Balenciaga you’ve been eyeing, check out BagAmbition.com and most likely you’ll score one terrific handbag!
