Buying bags & handbags in Dudley
Dudley sits at the heart of the Black Country with a castle and zoo on a limestone hill above it, a canal system running through caverns beneath, and a glass-making history in the surrounding villages that produced work of real quality.
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
Turn out the pockets and feel along the base for a sagging or broken board, which is what makes a bag lose its shape for good. Look at the hardware for plating worn back to base metal, and smell the lining for damp or smoke.
Collecting it in Dudley
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.
The town is built on and around a hill, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. Parking is manageable and the surrounding area is easy to drive in.
