Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop Presents Classic Leather Handbags Event

How apropos that the dedicated member volunteers at Assistance League® Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, in Lafayette, will feature American Classic Designed Handbags in February, the birth month of two of our nation’s more extensively researched presidents. On Tuesday, February 17, the thrift shop, appropriately located on GOLDEN Gate Way and stationed under the watchful eye of Marquis de’ Lafayette, will transform not merely to a purveyor of high end handbags at bargain basement prices; it will become an experience in and of itself!

This well-known annual event will celebrate the creative genius of Dooney & Bourke, Coach, Cole Haan, Michael Kors and Brighton, all fashioned by American designers who were inspired by modern world nuances. Engineered with the highest regard for materials and craftsmanship during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, such attributes as expertly structured, timelessly chic, elegant but functional, as well as glamourous and on-the-go, will obviously come to mind. While several of the styles have since been discontinued, their signature hardware, contrast interior design, and durability will confirm authenticity.

When you purchase one of these classic finds, whether a shoulder bag, tote, satchel or drawstring, you will enjoy years of fashion and luxury. More important, you will participate in the tradition of improving the lives of those in our community who are vulnerable—another great American signature piece!
