Balenciaga - Best of Boho Chic - SOLD

This is a 2006 Balenciaga "Day" bag (large, slouchy hobo) in the color Origan. This color is a soft, light olive that can function almost as a neutral. The leather is soft and distressed, and these bags are known for their light weight and "motorcycle" styling. Some of the tassels are split; this is normal for Balenciaga bags. I purchased this bag used a couple of years ago from an online consignment outlet. It *is* a genuine Balenciaga bag. The bag shows minimal wear that I can determine aside from the normal distressing,  and it comes with dustbag, mirror and some extra tassels.

Zippered main compartment has black cotton lining, and there is a zippered interior pocket as well as the exterior one you see (which is great for keys, cell phone).

The color is hard to get right in photos, but looks great with black, brown, navy, gray and also with brighter colors.  Did I mention how light these bags are??

Asking $500, plus shipping.  At this price, this bag will not last long. All sales are final, thanks.

Belen Echandia's superior quality leather, materials and workmanship + the chic, understated design and detailing = a bag that will provide years of stylish wear.

Missoni for Target Cardigan - SOLD

Remember the craziness that was "Missoni for Target?" In many areas, items sold out in stores within hours, and the online site was mostly crashed for a couple of days. By the time I was able to get online midway through the first day, the coffee cups I *really* wanted were sold out, but I thought this cute sweater might be worth a try. The fabric is very lightweight, in a subtler pattern than some of the other Missoni for Target offerings. There is gold threading throughout which gives just a bit of soft sparkle. It's a nice looking piece, and would add a bit of fun to a workday ensemble.

This sweater is a size Medium, which I'd guess translates to a 10-12 in US sizing. It turned out to be just a little bit too big for me, and it was only worn once.

Asking $35 plus shipping.  All sales are final, thanks!

Belen Echandia - SOLD

This is a custom, one-of-a-kind Belen Echandia bag. A few years ago when I was anticipating more work-related travel and offsite meetings, I special ordered this bag as a more stylish briefcase alternative. At 16.5"W x 10" H x 6" deep, this bag will accommodate a small laptop, and even includes a laptop sleeve which matches the lining. The pebbled leather is a gorgeous, glowing cream color, shown to better advantage in the picture below:

 There are two main zippered compartments, two exterior compartments (one a zip pocket, and one snapped) and inside, along with a bright and happy pink lining, are enough pockets for all of the organization you need.

The hardware has an elegant brushed brass finish.  There are two top handles which are long enough to wear over the shoulder and a detachable strap, the length of which can be adjusted to wear cross-body if desired. This bag was used only once, and is in pristine condition. I've had a few Belen Echandia bags, and the quality of the leather and the workmanship are among the best of any bags I've seen and examined.

This beauty really deserves to be loved and SEEN, and I'm hoping it will find a good home soon, so am pricing at a fraction of what I paid for the bag new. This will be a beautiful work or travel carry-on bag for Spring and Summer.

Asking $250 $150 plus shipping. All sales are final, thanks!

Yes, it's a Chanel!

This small Chanel tote in beige caviar leather is lightweight and perfect for Spring and Summer. It was purchased as a used bag from Fashionphile a couple of years ago and has been sitting lonely in its dustbag since. The caviar leather has been nicely softened with age, and the gold double-C logo fastener on the outside pouch discreetly proclaims its pedigree. In addition to the outside pocket, there are two large zipped pockets inside. This bag has authenticity cards and was certified as authentic by Fashionphile.

This is a used bag, and some slight wear on the corners is visible. The interior is clean, and I can see only two very small marks which are hardly noticeable.

Size: 10" x 10" by 3".

Asking $750, plus shipping.  Paypal only, please.
