Shop Smart, Give Back!

As a leader in the pre-owned world of luxury handbag consignment, we see beautiful handbags every day. From Louis Vuitton to YSL, it is our pleasure to bring our customers guaranteed authentic luxury handbags at a fraction of the retail price.

Today, we are pleased to offer Bag Ambition shoppers a handbag line that not only is exquisite, but also gives back.

I met Cherie Jones, a South African designer, while she was living in Chicago. Her bags are all handcrafted in South Africa, providing jobs for South African artisans, and use only leathers and hides that are ethically obtained from wildlife game programs.

The handbag we knew you would love is the “New” Jabulani, featuring a Springbok Antelope front….the hottest design in accessories, right now. Seen on the runways at Fashion Week from Tom Ford to Valentino and Michael Kors, African Sanctuary offers all of the luxury craftsmanship at a fraction of the premier designer price.

We knew we would be the perfect match! Please enjoy these beautiful bags, and let us know if we can provide any additional information.

On the World Wide Web, one thing is certain, CHANGE! Just when you think you have mastered the latest round of social networking from Facebook to Twitter, Four Square makes itself known.  Now we all have to “check in” upon arriving at each destination of our daily grind.

We also have to grapple with the important choice of iphone, blackberry or droid?  Plus, once we make that decision, and learn all of the important apps, a new generation comes out, and we have to learn all over again.

Even in our spare time, when we can shop online from the privacy of home, office, or cubicle, our favorite “stores” change their websites.

So, now it is Bag Ambition’s time to change, upgrade, and keep up with technology. In the two years since our site launched, many advances have been made, and we want to bring them to you, to make your shopping experience better, faster & easier.

I am excited that our customers can easily locate their favorite YSL Muse, Hermes Birkin, or Louis Vuitton Speedy, with just a few clicks. And, I’m pleased that technology has allowed us to respond to your requests, and lay out our site in a style that suits the way you browse and shop.

So, thank you to all of our wonderful customers and consignors who shared their opinions, suggestions and time with us. And, thanks to our wonderful web director, who keeps up with technology and turned my requests into the newly, upgraded, BagAmbition.com.

As always, we remain your discreet and secure destination for authentic luxury handbag consignment.  (And, yes, please “like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, both at Bag Ambition).
