dariusp Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Going to New York in a couple of weeks and I need some insight as to where I can find some quality rep handbags, Coach, Prada, Gucci, LV, etc. Any suggestions, or does anyone "know" anyone who can help me? I know the watch situation in NY, so I'm not going down that road. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I saw them on canal street last week, was wondering around while my girlfriend was shopping in soho. The reps are sooooo crappy. Handbags looked crappy too. Probably get the best stuff from our dealers here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dariusp Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I should have stated that I am looking for items in "bulk" for inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dariusp is after bags for resale he needs to source them for a lot cheaper than what other dealers will sell to him. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddhead Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I saw them on canal street last week, was wondering around while my girlfriend was shopping in soho. The reps are sooooo crappy. Handbags looked crappy too. Probably get the best stuff from our dealers here well, you have to know where to look, most vendors keep 2 stashes.. one for the general public, and a better quality line for people who know how to ask. It helps to speak the langauge, especially if you are female. my g/f who is chinese american has very good success when she goes without me.. when she is with me, the vendors sometimes mistake me for an undercover officer, than she is shot. Another approach is to look for asian women who are just kind of standing around on a sidewalk and who look like they are on the prowl.. they may have brochures or other collateral with them.. and they are being discrete. If you find one, and they think you are safe, they will take you to the place they keep their stash. it is usually not a store front..sometimes it is in the back of a sweatshop, sometimes it can seem kind of scary because they are on back streets up alleys, but we have never had a problem. Bottom line, The quality of the 'secret stash' merchandise is much better than what you see in the typical store front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 True but the cost is higher too so no good for dariusp. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken well, if he gets to the right person, he may be able to cut a deal.. i have seen one other person do it... apparently this person sold them off of a sanitation truck to regular clients in an upscale neighborhood.. i... LOL ... he must have had a regular arrangement, i just happened to overhear him talking with the vendor, but i am not sure how one would go about making the arrangement.

Linder Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think the biggest problem of buying multiples from a street vendor would be going through them all thoroughly to verify quality and then having to move them back to a safe location to stash. If you could order them and have them delivered at your convienence, it seems like that would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dariusp Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I appreciate all the responses. I think I'm going to stick with some contacts that I've made here as opposed to going to NYC. One of the problems with flying up to the city is once I find some stuff, I was going to have to ship it back to myself, and that's more cost. If anyone has any other ideas, please feel free to let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
