Purse matching
Jordan Tabach-Bank is one of the best pawnbrokers at getting media attention, so we are happy to piggyback on his skill by linking to a piece at Pawn Times about pawning Hermes bags.
Kamaaina Loan also takes high-end bags for loans, and we are not quite as snooty as Tabach-Bank’s Beverly Pawn, which takes only Hermes, Chanel or Celine, and then only models that retail (new) for $5,000 and up.
Kamaaina Loan will lend money even on down-market stuff like Coach. And even if it retails for only a few hundred.
Here’s a tip that’s good for either pawn shop:
Handbags must be in excellent condition and be accompanied by provenance or proof of purchase, usually in the form of receipt from the original retailer.
Well, we don’t absolutely require an original receipt, but it helps seal the deal. So all you fashionistas out there, save your receipts. Because you never know when (or why) you might need to raise some fast cash.
We generally have a fancy bag or two or three in our store at 42 N. Market. (Just checked: about a dozen items today.)
Do you know you can rent Hermes bags? Not from us, but it can be done.
