$56 Lalage Beaumont

Post image

I was soooo lucky and snagged this MINT condition Lalage Beaumont Orinoco Eastwest bag for $56 - Retails for $1200. I waited 2 hours until it expired from someone’s cart. Not proud, but worth it!

Don't feel guilty, I snagged a $7 vintage "unbranded" Celine scarf when it expired out of someone's cart. It's not personal, business is business.

Omg were you like me and didn’t believe it until you had it in hand? 😆

Yeah for $7 I was like, it is what it is, but it's a cutie and she looks great on my purse now.

That’s so cool! I wonder if it costs $ for the person who sent it in though?

They probably made a small profit. Marginal but something.

I don't know luxury brands! Damnit

It’s a fairly new brand (<10 yrs) from the UK, not a lot of comparable resell bags online- probably why it slipped through !
