Is this a Mandeville or an Alston?

lvmybags13 · Jun 23rd, 2008, 12:48 PM

It looks huge, but maybe she's just tiny! =) I really want an Alston because I love big bags, but I can't tell on this one.

Thanks for your help!

OMG! this is the alston!! it has that flap pocket in the front and 3 nifty pockets inside which mandeville doesn't have..
i think there's gonna be a bidding war.. since many of us want this bag..

I agree, we will all be shot to heck and back over this bag..let the war began...

lambiepie · Jun 23rd, 2008, 01:46 PM

Saddle alston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

knasarae · Jun 23rd, 2008, 01:48 PM

Yep, it's an Alston. There are actually two of them on eBay right now. Thank goodness I won't be a part of this bloodbath, lmao!

indi3r4 · Jun 23rd, 2008, 01:55 PM

lol..
whoever wins it.. i just hope it's our lambies..

... Ugh.. I've been after a silver or saddle alston for a while now (still having major regrets I didn't buy one at the SS last November)... I had given up.. and now 2 are on eBay?.. weirdness

maddgiggler · Jun 23rd, 2008, 04:06 PM

I saw that and wondered about it because of the size and pocket. Hope a Lambie gets it!

knasarae · Jun 23rd, 2008, 04:32 PM

Yep, when it rains it pours. I wonder if maybe they had more at the SS that just passed?

It's always that way, isn't it?!

lvmybags13 · Jun 23rd, 2008, 04:41 PM

Thanks for the info ladies!

I thought it was too big to be a Mandeville! I don't think I will be much of a fighter in the bidding "war" though. Not exactly cash heavy in the bag buying section of my wallet right now. LOL Good luck lambies, go get 'em!

lambiepie · Jun 23rd, 2008, 05:13 PM

I love it, but i don't think i will be bidding on that. There are too many things that are going to be coming out. I've got to save up!

Hope one of us lambies gets it though! Game on ladies! lol.

Does that make anyone else feel weird that the seller mentions (in the listing)

"returns only for counterfeit"

knasarae · Jun 24th, 2008, 05:34 PM

Lol, no not really. Whenever I list I say that returns will only be accepted if an item is found to be non-authentic or grossly misrepresented. I know none of my bags are fake and I make my descriptions accurate, but it makes the bidders feel better.

Luna · Jun 24th, 2008, 06:53 PM

ehhh.. i emailed the seller... methinks english is not her... best language.
