Purses With a Purpose is a Blast at Grand Boulevard Mar 11-12

Clutch, satchel, tote or hobo – whatever type of handbag you love, you'll find it at Purses with a Purpose. The much-anticipated purse extravaganza returns to Grand Boulevard March 11-12, 2016. Purses with a Purpose is a two-day purse sale and auction where new and gently used designer handbags are donated to be sold and auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting Shelter House, the domestic and sexual violence center serving Okaloosa and Walton counties. 

Make plans to come out for the sixth annual Purses With a Purpose event on March 11-12, at Grand Boulevard in the storefront next door to Altar’d State. You'll enjoy both days with amazing purses and a great time with local women searching for that perfect handbag.
