Trade My Bag, an e-commerce site and app, is opening its first pop-up store this May in New York City's Soho neighborhood.

Via its digital presence, Trade My Bag offers a range of new and pre-owned luxury designer bags from designers like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermès and Chanel. Customers can also return their handbags to Trade My Bag to receive 80% of the purchase price toward the purchase of a new handbag from the company. 

Trade My Bag's physical pop-up will be located at 13 Crosby Street, and is set to run from May 3 through 5. The shop will offer visitors access to a free in-store authentication and appraisal service of handbags, which the company said takes about an hour, as well as the "Sell Your Bag Now" feature, which will allow them to sell their used luxury bags in-store. 

"Trade My Bag not only helps customers save money, but we are reducing environmental impact," said E.Rodriguez, chief operating officer of Trade My Bag. "Shoppers have an opportunity to support sustainability by reducing their carbon footprint by selling old handbags and buying vintage ones."

According to the company's website, every item available on Trade My Bag is inspected by company professionals, as well as an authentication company separate from Trade My Bag, Entrupy. Every item comes with a complete certificate of authenticity.
