Designer Items #8

[thegirlscout]

I’d personally use any Japanese sellers (stores) on eBay (I get almost all my secondhand stuff from them). A lot of them offer free delivery worldwide. But you should check what your tax free allowance is to your address, so you can factor in total cost and see whether it’ll be worth it. My tax free allowance is 800 USD but for UK addresses for example, it’s much less, around £150 or something like that.

How do you know which sellers on eBay are legit or not? Do you have any names to look out for?

Please can someone help me find a new workbag? Criteria are it must zip up / fully close as I have to commute on the train and walk in the rain, be big enough to chuck all manners of things in including an A5 notebook and have pockets for bits so that I don't have to constantly rummage for things. It seems to be impossible to find anything vaguely stylish that meets this. Happy to spend up to £2-3k and will use everyday rather than keep for best. Thanks

I would like some old Tiffany pieces.

Where’s the best place to look for older Tiffany pieces?

I’m constantly checking my email and the Staud website for that back in stock notification… I need the Tommy Staudine more than I’ve ever needed anything!!!! (I say about every bag)

Has anyone got a Hunza G bikini/swimsuit? And if so would your recommend? I’m sick of buying cheap swimwear every year that come the next year I don’t like/has lost its shape etc.

I’m not sure if this is helpful but I bought a swimming costume from them and I thought the material and fit were really lovely. I did return it though as it had absolutely no support in the chest area which I need. Otherwise I would have kept. I obviously can’t comment on how it wears though.

As long as you claim the tax back then you’ll make a saving

So I pay the tax then claim it back once I’m home in the UK?

Vestaire? Ebay are ok with their authentication process too.

Strathberry flash sale is on just now with 20%, wondering if it's worth holding off for black Friday or not. Does anyone know

Hey, has anyone ever sold anything with designer exchange? I’ve got some barely worn loubs and some off white trainers in decent condition. Both with all the box etc included. I’ll never wear either again but I really want some nice white heels for my wedding, thinking that could be a way to fund them.

I was thinking of Louboutin Jane Mules or Hermes Oasis sandals. Does anyone have any similar styles to these they would recommend?

Not designer, but didn’t anyone buy any of the Sienna range at M&S? I bought a few items that I collected yesterday and I’m really happy with them except the long jeans could be a tad longer.

I got the white blouse which came today, it’s lovely on. Wanted the jeans but they sold out really quickly! Not sure if they’ll come back in stock - are they true to size?

did anyone go to bicester recently and score anything?

Does anyone know of any resellers that buy/sell clothing?

I have a Gucci skirt and a moncler coat to shift, would rather sell them to a reseller than risk it myself and get scammed (especially with the coat!). Designer exchange rejected the skirt a while back so they can shove it

Do you know what time it’s going online? I’m debating setting an alarm at midnight

No idea but let us know if you grab something

They are heavy, I sold mine and I don’t regret it.

Interesting. Thank you. The search continues!

It’s £135 and then you have to pay 20% import VAT on top.

Ah, so if a product is £235
Do you pay £135 and then 20% on top of the remaining £100
Or do you pay 20% on the top of the total £235?
