Best of Atlanta 2013, Shopping

Bella Bag

The bread-and-butter of this luxury bag retailer is online at shopbellabag.com. But the founder, Cassandra Connors, lives in Atlanta and has a brick-and-mortar showroom on Miami Circle open Monday through Saturday. Bella buys and sells preowned designer bags (think Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton) and rigorously ensures their authenticity. Most sell for about 30 to 70 percent off retail, whether it’s a mini Gucci cross-body for $199 or a $44,000 croc Birkin.
