For just two days, eBay is introducing Luxury Handbag Machines to locations like Dumbo, Brooklyn and Silver Lake, Los Angeles, and they share a selection of designer handbags from covered brands. The first-of-its-kind machines tap into the growing luxury resale market and visitors will have the chance to claim a Hermès Birkin, Chanel Classic, Louis Vuitton Nano Speedy Monogram and more styles, all of which are backed by eBay's Authenticity Guarantee.
Tirath Kamdar, GM of Luxury at eBay, says "In the same way traditional vending machines solve for convenience, eBay is making luxury instantly accessible, bringing designer handbags directly to enthusiasts in New York and Los Angeles." At in-person events, people will have the chance to win one of six handbags by participating in a trivia game.
