Bag For Cash in Boston, MA

Two bags can carry the same house name and grade nowhere near each other. Model, material, hardware and how the leather has aged decide the number - not what the boutique charged new.

• Chanel - Classic Flap and 2.55 Reissue in caviar keep their shape; the same size in lambskin loses points at rubbed corners and flattened quilting.
• Louis Vuitton - Speedy and Neverfull in Monogram canvas are everywhere, so vachetta handles and trim decide most of it. Epi and Taurillon leather sit higher.
• Gucci - GG Marmont in matelasse leather grades above a GG Supreme coated canvas tote of the same size.
• Balenciaga - the tasseled Motorcycle City is instantly recognizable but trades softer than owners expect; limp, slouched leather is the tell.
• Hermes and Goyard - Kelly, Birkin and the Goyardine Saint Louis are the exceptions, worth a careful look even with worn corners.

Bring it in and we will show you which side your bag falls on.

Closet clear-outs, estates and resellers winding down arrive as a stack, not one bag. Each piece is authenticated and priced on its own, so a group is quoted bag by bag. One strong Chanel flap is not averaged down by a tired Speedy sitting beside it.

• Re-pair the sets - with several bags in one box, dust bags and cards get mixed up. Match each one back to the bag it belongs to.
• Round up the loose parts - Speedy clochette, padlock and keys, the Neverfull pochette, Lady Dior charms, removable Loewe and Saint Laurent straps.
• Newer pieces verify differently - Chanel and Louis Vuitton moved to embedded chips instead of printed cards and stamped date codes.
• Empty every pocket - cash, jewelry, keys and old receipts turn up in zipped side pockets constantly.

Send photos of the whole group first and we will tell you which are worth the trip.
