Our Members Love Sourcing: June & July Edition
Jul 25, 2024
At Handbag Social Club, we specialize in finding everything from exclusive, rare gems to beloved everyday essentials. Your wishes are our commands, and we’re dedicated to making your handbag dreams come true. This summer, we've been busy tracking down stunning pieces our members have requested. Here’s a glimpse of the incredible finds we sourced for June and July. If you are looking for a particular handbag, make a request here.
1). Hermès So Green Picotin Lock 18
We love it when our clients have a spesific vision and we can help it come to fruition. After unsuccessfully trying to purchase this bag from their local H boutique, we were thrilled to be able to find this limited edition Picotin; in under a week we might add. The tonal green hardware and dreamy Clemence leather take this classic bag up a notch.
2). Hermès Constance Box 23
This repeat client was looking to expand her Hermes collection and set her sights on a Constance. Her only preferences were "fall vibe colors." After sending her a few options, she settled on this gorgeous vintage Rouge H version, in a stunning Box leather. What makes this bag even more special is the H closure trimmed in gold-tone hardware, instead of the typical all metal or enamel H. After receiving her new bag we got the following text: "Thank you for my new favorite bag...for now. Stay tuned for my next Hermes obsessed request."
3). Chanel Raffia Flap Bag
Our client was looking for the perfect bag to bring with her on her summer travels. Her preferences were a small bag, that would match with a lot, but not be boring. She didn't specify any brands or colors. Which can be fun, but also opens the floodgates of options. After narrowing it down to her top three, she settled on this fabulous little Chanel Raffia Flap Bag. It was the perfect combination of neutral classic meets a fun pop of pink.
4). Chanel Medium Watercolor Flap Bag
After graduating from Law School, our client wanted to celebrate with a new bag. She was looking for a vintage Chanel that would make sure smile when she saw it. Side note - we love these types of requests, because it shows the level of trust that our clients have in us. After going back and forth a few times, we added "large enough to fit a phone + essentials," and "made from leather" to her must-have list. Once she saw the beautiful Watercolor Flap Bag, she had to have it. However, it was a little higher than her original budget. To make it work we found one in "very good condition" instead of her original request of "excellent condition." We were thrilled to be able to stay within budget and deliver on the smiles.
5). Chanel Precious Symbols Needlepoint Shoulder Bag
Not only was this one of the coolest requests we've ever received, but it's going to an equally cool new home with such a fun back story. This client has since become a friend, but originally was someone we met on vacation by the pool. After complimenting me on my bag, we quickly became fast friends. Turns out she was a stylist and we have since partnered together to source for various projects and clients. This Needlepoint Chanel is going to one of her clients who collects vintage Chanel bags.
6). Chanel Medium Diana Flap Bag
This client reached out to me about sourcing a vintage Chanel Medium Diana Flap Bag. She really loved the color of the 24k gold-tone hardware and the classic silhouette. When we asked the client about her sourcing experience she said: "I loved working with Brooke to source my very first Chanel bag! She was super patient with me and answered all of my questions and sent me multiple options for the vintage Chanel Diana until we found the perfect one! She even threw in a super cute handmade bag charm and made sure that I got the bag on my actual birthday! Such a treat! I will definitely use her again for my next dream bag!"
