I look for design, quality, and color in handbags, so I don't restrict myself to name bags -- some of my favorite bags are no-name. I consider myself an expert in authenticating Balenciaga bags, Chloe Silverado and Paddington bags, smaller lines such as Givenchy, Salvatore Ferragamo, Celine, Bottega Veneta, and Fendi bags, and have access to a large network of designer handbag authenticators for other designers.
