Fashionphile recently hosted an evening of cocktails, light bites and celebration. This special event was part of the brand’s book launch with Assouline, “The Book of Iconic Bags.”
Sarah Davis, the founder and president of Fashionphile, was on hand to greet guests at the San Diego flagship shop. This luxury consignment shop features well-known handbag brands, including Chanel and Gucci, along with a selection of accessories.
If you are asking the question, “Why use pre-owned authentic luxury handbags?” The answer is simple: you prevent something new from being made. By choosing sustainable, you contribute to a healthier planet. Since 1999, Fashionphile has restored over 2 million handbags. Each piece is certified as an authentic pre-owned piece.
In 2019, Fashionphile partnered with Neiman Marcus for a retail-resale experience. Selling studios are located in select Neiman Marcus stores, where customers can make appointments to sell in-person, drop off, pick up and return qualifying items.
Fashionphile was also celebrating the upcoming expansion of the Investment Protection Collection. This is the brand’s first handbag care line, the result of years of in-house research.
“The Book of Iconic Bags” features 25 iconic handbags while examining craftsmanship, cultural relevance and status as investment pieces. This luxury coffee table book offers hours of enjoyment as readers learn more about legendary bags such as the Hermès Birkin, Kelly, Fendi Baguette, and the Dior Saddle. Assouline is known for its high-end fashion books.
Customers can shop online or in person at one of Fashionphile’s stores.
