I’ve been buying old bags lately (what the cool kids and fashionistas call “vintage”). Last weekend I went to my first ever live auction, it was very exciting and drama-packed as I furiously bidded for an old lambskin Chanel flap. Went a fair bit over my original budget but still worth it to me. This Lot was between me, someone via live phone bid and someone else via online live as the auction being live-streamed.
No regrets though, as this was my only realistic option of ever getting a Chanel bag. I have been completely priced out of anything from the boutique.
Also recently got some old Dior oblique bags purchased online. A Boston bag in the older style font and a clutch in the newer style font (which I might try and fix hardware to so I can attach a chain strap).
Also got an old Fendi Boston bag awaiting arrival. Looks like great condition except the dark brown piping has worn off, so I will have to see what I can do about it.
