Thrift Store Score: A New Handbag

19 Flares 19 Flares ×

I absolutely love Goodwill.  Over the past several months, I've scored hundreds of dollars of clothing and accessories for less than $50.

Yesterday's find was an Apt 9 handbag in black.  It measures approximately 14"W X 11"H".  The leather material feels far superior to the gawdy, cheap, pleather black handbag I carried into the store.  A handbag of this brand, size and material likely ranges around $50-70 brand new.

I paid $5.00.  Out with the old in with the new!

In the past, I was one to buy any handbag solely based on appearance, in an effort to add to my mass collection of handbags.  I've found that I'm gathering more occasional styles rather than classic, wear-with-anything styles.  So, I'll be paring down my handbag collection and donating the gently used handbags right back to Goodwill.

Here it is! Isn't she a beauty?
