Check out this beautiful saddle bag! It appears to be in amazing condition, too!

I had seen it, it so gorgeous! I'm afraid the price will go up, as it seems there are many people out there interested in it. Hope you win the auction, good luck!

i vaguely can decipher in your statement about you speak french very well, and uhm... le sac = bag. HAH, there goes all my effort in my beginner french for a month.

MayDay,
Is this a small tote? the bag is 15.5 inches long, do you think it's too big. I'm 5' 2" and I don't whether it's too big or not. Also, on Diabro sell it for 1365 where this person bought it at around 1083. Is there a place in UK where they purchase this bag cheaper. On eluxury, it cost higher too. Thanks!

Hi Kimle888!

I think that since big bags are "in" right now, this bag isn't big at all. In fact, if you check Chloe's new fall07 bags, they are HUGE compared to the Gaucho. So I think it'd be perfect for you. Plus you get to put more stuff in it.

As for the price, Dior has drastically risen the price of many of their bags this past year. I'm not surprised that the seller got it for 825GBP, because this sounds like the price of it when it first came out. Actually, Dior discontinued this button-tote and the new zipper tote (which is more expensive) retails for 895GBP; so the price of 825 doesn't make me suspicious at all.

Dior bags are actually a bit more expensive in the US...at least the Dior SA at Holt Renfrew told me that. She said that because the bags have to be imported from overseas, Dior adds the handling costs to the price of the bag. So Eluxury's prices are not exact conversions of the European prices.

I hope this helps! Good luck with this auction!

Thanks MayDay for your response.
I think I have calculated the price wrong. I did place an inquiry on this bag and she was asking for 500BGP, is this a good price?

Hmmmm...500GBP is a lot more than I would pay for a used Dior Gaucho tote. Something closer to the starting bid price sounds a lot better. I mean, for 500GBP, you can get a brand new one on Diabro.net.

I think so too, I do like the bag. I will watch them and see if I can get somewhere near the starting bid. Though, there seems to be alot of interest in this bag so I'm not I can get it. but if not, I can save some money for a few and get it on Diabro.net. Thanks!

Although it's kinda expensive, the fact that it's so fun makes it worth it!

Does anyone know of any other authentic gauchos on ebay? They all looked fake to me (except the white one previously mentioned). I'd really like to find a green or burgundy one on the cheap but don't want to have to deal with returning fakes!! Thanks so much!

hi echo,

besides ebay, you can try diabro.net for gauchos that are cheaper than retail and are brand new and authentic. some PFers have purchased from diabro before and have attested to the authenticity of the bags. that said, of course it may be that ebay could still offer a better price, but if it's a little discount you're looking for and less hassle, then you might want to consider diabro.
