Buying bags & handbags in Riverside
Riverside is the largest city of the inland region east of the coastal metropolis, where the navel orange industry began — the original tree is still standing. It has a large university and is a major logistics and warehousing centre.
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.
