About this event

Since 1999, Fashionphile has worked hard to become the leading and most trusted brand in the secondary market for luxury handbags. Fashionphile offers the largest selection of pre-owned vintage, rare, and limited edition handbags from the most coveted luxury designers. Fashionphile was founded by Sarah Davis in 1999. She started the business while she was in a law school and need money to pay the bills. In 2006, Davis partnered up with her brother-in-law Ben Hemminger to expand the business and moved it to Beverly Hills, California. They originally sold pre-owned luxury handbags on eBay, and in 2007 launched a website to sell the products. In 2008, they opened their first store space off Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills. The company’s growth drove its next move shortly afterward to open its new store on Maiden Lane in San Francisco in 2009. In 2011, Fashionphile moved to their current Maiden location. In 2012, Fashionphile opened a warehouse headquarters in Carlsbad, California. We will discuss the journey from selling from eBay, a storefront in Beverly Hills to Neiman Marcus investing in the company. Come join us on Oct 22 at their Headquarters in Carlsbad for a fireside chat with the Co-Founders of Fashionphile.
