Bags reach us the way the watches do — through the loan window, or from someone ready to move a piece on. Stock changes constantly and nothing is ordered from a distributor.
The counterfeit market for these two houses is enormous and genuinely good. That's precisely why a licensed pawnbroker is a sensible place to buy one: we already have to authenticate before we lend a single dollar against a bag, so the check happens whether you're buying or not.
Stitching, hardware, date codes, lining, glazing, and the feel of the leather — it all gets looked at before a bag reaches the shelf. If we can't stand behind it, we don't take it. That's the same standard that earned the BBB's Torch Award for Ethics in 2012 and an A+ rating since 1984.
Designer handbags have been on our cash-for and loan list for years, right alongside gold, diamonds and Rolex. A pawn loan against a bag is quick, confidential, no credit check, and never touches your report.
Bring the dust bag, receipt or box if you have them — they help the number.
We authenticate before we lend a dollar against a bag — so the check has already happened by the time it reaches the shelf.
