Lightly Used Designer Handbags




When I first arrived to Hong Kong, I was suspicious of the chain stores "France & Italy Station" around the island, selling heavily discounted (upwards of 50% off) designer handbags in perfect condition.  Neither did they seem knock off, nor were they more than 1 or 2 seasons old to demand such a price cut.  After much discussion with locals, I have found that these stores are in fact the real deal.  They purchase softly and rarely worn handbags from socialites and other sources in Hong Kong and world-wide.  It is quite common for women in Hong Kong to purchase the latest bag, wear it on a few occasions and resale it back to the store for upwards of 75% back.  If you do fancy bags, and don't need the latest "it" item, than this is your store.  Locals even request a bag to the shop owner, whom than sources the bag for them rarely worn.  Last time I walked in the store, there were 10 Birkin bags waiting to be taken home.
