Hello everyone,
Im not sure if this goes against the rules regarding pricing items etc but I don't really have a choice unless I send them all to a auction place.
My late mother collected many many items, she was a hoarder on a huge scale. Sadly she passed away suddenly in April this year. I have moved back home away from my business to look after my Grandma and looking to downsize our house, its way two big for just my Grandma and myself. Its a 6/7 bedroom house with four sitting rooms, two kitchens etc. So some stuff has to go.
Items she collected are bags; Loewe, Balenciaga, Judith Leiber and vintage ones. Im ok with the designer ones as I can find rough prices for them but there is a large (around 15-20) collection of 1920's - 1940's crocodile/alligator ones which have no label but looking at some of the PayPal receipts they were all bought for between £100-£220 each but I have no way of identifying which is which.
Other items she collected was clothes, shoes and boots, 90% un-warn and boxed. Around 50 pairs of them ranging from Vivvien Westwood boots to Reptto Ballerinas. All around size 5-5.5 UK. She would often buy two of everything and one didn't fit she just kept them anyway!
Clothes again are all designer or Vintage. Quite a lot of Antony Price one off stuff, Vivvien Westwood, loads of unworn cashmere from Brora and Toast. (I think I might do job lots of them as there are so many, well over 100 of them).
She also collected handmade vintage wooden jigsaws ranging between £50 and £160 and there about 150 of them! Going to be difficult to sell them really.
Anyhow, back to the vintage handbags, can anyone identify any of these and what would be the best way of selling them? eBay auction? There is also a Balenciaga bag which I don't know what style it is? And also, a guide price on the Judith Leiber clutch bag:
Many thanks.

Quick photos taken of some of the vintage bags but of course I would pop them in the Lightbox for photos to list online:
