Buying bags & handbags in Medicine Hat
Medicine Hat sits on natural gas reserves substantial enough that it long ran its own utility, and it is the sunniest city in the country. The clay deposits here supported a pottery and brick industry for generations, and the surrounding country is dry prairie and ranch land.
WishThrift does not authenticate anything, so on designer pieces the buyer’s own inspection is the whole of the evidence. Being able to examine stitching, hardware and stamps at length, and ask the seller directly, is worth far more than any listing.
What to check in person
