Purses with a Purpose at Destin Commons

Purses with a Purpose, a signature Shelter House event, returns for the 10th-anniversary event to be held at Destin Commons, September 23-25, 2021. Shoppers at Purses with a Purpose have the opportunity to select from hundreds of new and gently used purses, wallets, and accessories up for sale or auction. Handbags from designers including Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Coach, and more will be available for purchase.

Festivities kick off with a VIP event at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 23, at the Destin Commons in the former Williams Sonoma storefront next to Steve Madden and Express. New to the event this year, shoppers that are unable to attend the event in person will have access to virtually bid on handbags in the silent auction. Shoppers will also enjoy light bites along with wine and specialty cocktails by Timber Creek Distillery.

VIP tickets are $25 if purchased before September 23 and or $30 if purchased at the door.
