"Alexandra Steinberg, founder of Classic Coco, has been in business since 2011 selling vintage Chanel handbags. Her collection retailed from $750 to $3,000, with one crocodile listed at $10,000.
“I get them all over the world,” said Steinberg, who is based in Philadelphia and travels to such places as Dubai, New York and the Philippines. She said she did “really well” at the show and plans to exhibit with UBM again. Among her bestsellers were the classic bags that are timeless. “We were selling to individuals and a bunch of stores came buy and bought three or four and a necklace,” she said. Steinberg said she tries to find the best quality bags for the most affordable prices. “I buy them or I do consignment. I don’t want to do crazy prices. That’s my whole obsession,” she said — to make Chanel accessible to as many people as she can."
