Consign of the Times

Consignment is big business these days, and the resale of designer handbags is where the money’s at. But shops won’t take just any old purse, says Carin Kirby, owner of Consign of the Times. Her shop, with locations in South Miami and South Beach, sells only the most pristine accessories from the likes of Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and others. The expansive South Beach outposts boasts two stories and is filled with clothing, from Pucci dresses and Equipment silk tops to Valentino ensembles, shoes and high-priced leather outerwear.
