We had one more question for Freeman Hall, whom we wrote about earlier this week on his 15-year sentence as a designer handbag salesman for some of the planet’s most vile customers. What are his picks for best handbag shopping destinations in town? True to form, he was more than happy to offer lengthy advice:

“For a selection of trendy and designer bags, Nordstrom at Topanga, The Grove, and South Coast Plaza can’t be beat. Kitson is cool for trend also. If you love a particular designer like Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Kate Spade, or Juicy Couture, hit their individual boutique stores for the best selection and items that the majors don’t carry.

“Although Lohmann’s, Ross and Marshalls are excellent for discounted clothes, I’ve never seen anything awesome there in the way of bags. But a great website to check for discounted bags is ebags.com.

“Designer handbags can also be had on eBay at incredible prices—just be sure the seller you are buying from has lots of feedback and positive ratings. This will protect you from buying fakes. Long time sellers with positive feedback want to protect their ebay status and won’t sell fakes.” — Krista Jennings
