I am not a person who has to have designer clothes or shoes or anything with a particular label on it. What few designer items I do own have been bought from a thrift store or garage sale.
About 15 years ago I bought this handbag at a garage sale for $10.
It's a vintage Coach crossbody called a Rambler. A lady was selling it for her daughter who had moved out and wanted her to get rid of whatever she left. It's genuine because I had it checked out.
I've seen these on sale online for anywhere from $150 to $325. I'm not selling it though.
I've been using it for years because it's the perfect size for a crossbody and great for traveling and such.
I want to restore it soon and have been watching videos on how to do it.
As a side note: A few years ago I purchased a knock-off Louis Vuitton handbag at a flea marked for $5 and sold it at my garage sale a few months later for $50.
I could do that for a living!
See you tomorrow!
I do love designer handbags, but all of mine have been gifts. They hold up extremely well! I’ve had my Coach for 25 years and it still looks great.
ReplyDeleteThat purse is a winner!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really nice purse, Jeanette. As you said, the perfect size & all that. I'm so glad you got a deal on it and it works out well for you. Yes, you missed a career opportunity! *lol* ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find with that purse! I too have thought about buying things and trying to resell them for more but haven't figured out how to make it all work out. My SIL goes to a lot of estate sales. She knows what to look for. Then she sells them on EBAY.

Gosh, I do a lot of thrift shopping, but have never found such huge designer deals as this!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever bought designer anything but for that price I would have bought it.
ReplyDeleteThe purse looks like a nice one and a designer one for just $10 is such a great deal.
ReplyDeleteYou did good! I never find deals like that!
ReplyDeleteClever you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's vintage and it's lovely. Funny about the knock-off LV
ReplyDeleteI'm like you - I buy what is practical for me. Sometimes I wish I could just find a fanny pack. Since my rotator cuff surgery, and even before that, heavy purses are not for me. I do have a very small cross-over purse. Just big enough for my key, my cell phone, and my debt card.
ReplyDeleteNice purse! I too am a thrifty shopper. I don't own anything designer at all! lol If I did, it would come from Goodwill or a second hand shop.
