Love Ghurka handbags?

February 25, 2015 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Ghurka handbags retain their resale valueOne of my favorite handbag manufacturers is Ghurka. Actually, I love everything they make, from briefcases (and knife rolls!) to campaign furniture.

I can’t get enough of Ghurka’s timeless, functional designs. If the same is true of you and your consignment/ resale customers, I’ve just discovered a real treat: the Ghurka web site has tips on dating their vintage bags, and even prices the bags sold for!

Drool over their vintage archive. And here’s eBay’s current list of vintage Ghurka purses… check and make sure you haven’t overlooked these in your shop stock!

Do you get Ghurka bags in? Do you have similar sites for other designer handbag resources that you’d like to share with your fellow consignment, resale, or thrift store? Tell us in the comments, below!

    Hi – I have 2 beautiful Ghurka bags- a garment bag and a weekender bag- both white leather and in great condition- I want to get rid of them- any suggestions?

      Contact the best, most established consignment shop in your area. And if they’re not already on our Resale Shop Directory… tell them to join in!

    Just got 3 of these into our shop, Rung, today! I’m so glad I remembered reading this article – it made researching, pricing, and geeking out over them so much easier than a lot of other vintage pieces. Thanks Kate!
