In The Bag: Vintage Designer Purses
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
