i found this at one of my local thrift shops, pretty sure it's a fake at $3 (it doesn't have a serial no)! i just wanted to know if this is a copy of a real design? or is it completely made up?

i wasn't sure how to add pics to this post but here is a link to my flickr account:

I had this authenticated by Natalia a couple days ago - I got it at a crazy deal and couldn't find any tags/codes on the bag other than pictured - can anyone ID it, how old and approx retail value? Thank you!!

kayslay · Sep 17th, 2009, 05:17 PM

nvm! i was searching a couple pages back and found it on page 23 :)

I am hoping someone can help me ID this bag and let me know what the approximate retail price was.
The seller is saying she only used it a few times so I am not sure about the price.
Thank you in advance!

Hi sweetie, its a mini trotter romantique, not sure about the retail price in leather version like this one though...how much does she want to sell it for?

Thank you so much Natalia!
She was asking $995, but she can't remember what they went for either. I looked and the closest thing I could find was a tapestry one for $775. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the price in near perfect condition for a bag like this!

Woah - $995 is (in my personal humble opinion) waaaay too much to pay for a Trotter Romantique bag. This may be the leather version, but still. TR bags go on eBay for a fraction of that price and they were already attractively priced when they went on sale at the boutiques.

agree with emi, the price is ridiculous. Im sure the canvas one you saw was also a bigger bag than this one ( and also ridiculously priced to be honest...)

Thank you Eminere and Natalia! In your opinion does $575 seem like a fair offer?
