Hi ladies.. Christina again.. I know... 3 times this week..... This goes to show you how passionate I am about accessories!!! Sooo... I am walking through Bloomingdales today... SHOCKER!!!! And I pass this amazing bag that was screaming ( I mean really screaming) my name... "CHRISTINA, over here!!!!" As I followed the calling of my name I made it to the Burberry department of handbags and saw this great bag for me to carry my laptop and "stuff". As I look at the price $250 of a Nylon bag which is a BARGAIN in my non-desperate housewives but ladies... I don't get any more desperate than today as I have given up bills to my husband so he will be paying the credit card bills!!! (Refer back to hiding shoe funds 101).. So as I stand there having a conversation with this bag that was screaming "Christina" I think to myself.. how can I get a new designer bag to carry my "stuff" for a desperate price... And suddenly it came to me... Rent or buy Consignment!!! And if you are like I was at a young age.. I changed my boyfriends like I do my handbags now.. and yes the answer is OFTEN!!! So I get home and after my snuggle time with my baby girl and then a couple glasses of wine I hit my laptop and search for a great laptop/stuff bag.. and I go to see what I may be able to rent and find that click this link... http://www.avelle.com/invite/FLMW9AB3K3KP ... they are not only renting bags they are selling BAGS!!! So what did I find... Oh yes... look at this beauty and check out the savings!!!!
L.A.M.B Devon Tote Retail $650 - now $260!!!!
So... this bag is new so it's not consignment.. I have bought consignment bags on occasion and if you are like me... who take care of my bags better than my husband you would never know it was used!!! So after looking for good quality consignment bags I find this website...
http://Barmakianbags.com/ Click the link to Ebay icon and it will bring you to their bags on sale... like this FABulous bag... My favorite designer... Marc by Marc Jacobs... yummmmmmmm!!!!
This bag in brown can be bought used but barely.... for $265!!! You can bid on it for less if you want to take the gamble on getting it for cheaper... Are you a gambler?? His bags usually sell for around $800-$2000!!!
So moral of the story is ... Someone trash could be your treasures... And you all ask yourselves... should I get the L.A.M.B bag?? Don't bother... It's been purchased by a desperate housewife.... ME!!!!
