Bella Bag had humble beginnings as a small eBay business. Founded by Cassandra Connors in 2005, the company started with Connors selling friends' old designer bags while she was a student at NYU. Now, nine years later, the former eBay-based business is now a multi-million dollar retailer of vintage, preowned, and authentic luxury handbags. With a constant flow of new handbags and a selection ranging from Chanel to Louis Vuitton, Bella Bag has distinguished itself as one of the best sites to buy and sell used designer handbags.

The Scoop:

    • Bella Bag has doubled revenues every year since 2019 and has an international customer base
    • In 2012 Bella Bag opened its Pilot store in Miami Circle and sold almost $1 million in its first year
    • Connors was dubbed the “ Purse Purist” by MSN.com and named as one of the Power 30 Under 30
    • Has the largest privately held collection of authentic designer handbags in the U.S.
    • Uses a 13-point Authenticity Inspection to verify their handbags that is now used nationwide
