Buying bags & handbags in Charlottetown
Charlottetown is the smallest provincial capital, on an island whose economy runs on agriculture, fishing and a summer tourist season that transforms the place. It is where the country’s founding conference was held, and the historic core is compact and intact.
A bag is easy to carry and easy to assess, so it suits a face-to-face sale better than almost anything else. Buyers want to feel the weight of the leather and open every pocket, and thirty seconds of that answers more than a dozen photographs.
What to check in person
Check the corners, the strap attachment points, the zip action and the lining, in that order. Corners go first on a bag that has been used properly, and a lining that has torn away from the seam is a repair rather than a defect.
Collecting it in Charlottetown
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Everything is within a few minutes of everything else, which makes this one of the easiest places in the country to arrange a handover. The historic streets are narrow, so check access for anything large.
