I’ve always looked at anything not nailed down that way. Sell to upgrade. But, I’m in the US and we’re on full tilt cuckoo mode here: Covid, restricted movement, the current social / racial issues, rogue citizen militia, and the poisonous political “dialogue” is wearing on me like the roughest of sandpaper.

I know I’m irritable :annoyed: and I don’t have enough in me to pleasantly deal with a buyer being picky over a $20 item. I’d sooner burn it at midnight while cackling insanely and doing a naked dance around the fire. :lol:

So, for the good of me, my household and society at large - it’s to the charity shop they go!

Truly not worth the effort. You’re better off with the charitable write off.

Agreed!

You're not kidding! I thought I was the only one who felt this way, I agree you on selling clothing items, I don't have the patience to deal..

Nope. I’m with you there. The s**t rolls downhill. All the blatant and latent racism is normalized and in the open now.

I bought the Toucans in teal and in white (returned the teal) and the Leopard/remix (also returned). Since we can't shop in person right now (or actually it's just too difficult) I am using H.com as a revolving door, LOL. So, to answer your question, I brought in the toucans with the white background. I love the Miami/deco vibe.

Yes it could be argued that H.com is better because you can try on and assess the scarf for awhile without an SA waiting around. And while I don’t like to do returns, with H.com, it’s possible. The funny thing is that while I just don’t like to make snap purchases, through the website, I can because I can return. I guess I’m saying that I don’t like the constant presence of an SA. I need time to think.

This is so pretty! In the first photo, what are those cute cards with pompous? And now I realize ..duh..those are your fuzz-outs!
I like the detail of the blue stitch at the zipper end fold; gives it a zing!
I see that Mulberry has added the “England” as part of the logo. Is it made in England?
Click to expand...
Thank you!
Yes, those stitches are a fun detail. :heart:
Some of their items are made in England, they have factories in Somerset. I know that in the past some of their bags were made in other countries - I don't know if they still are or not.

This is all your fault, @Cookiefiend !!! :biggrin:

I just got an email from Mulberry telling me that they were having a summer sale. So OF COURSE off I trotted, and I found this little zip-around wallet…

Is this the same design as your new one? Looks like it holds the same number of credit cards, and so on. Are the measurements really 6" long by 4" high? If that's correct, then can you put (folded) bills in the zipped compartment?

Yes!!
It is the same design, mine is 6" x 4", and I put folded bills in the center zipped compartment!
Guess what I'm getting another of? :angel:

a little contribution to the clutch bag topic:
this funny clutch was hiding in my boots cabinet. I had almost forgotten about it as it´s pure decoration. Too delicate for me to use.

It´s a true vintage version, not a modern repro.

I love this!

Happy belated birthdays to @Cookiefiend and @momasaurus!

Hopping on the bag wears conversation, I adapted @Sparkletastic's approach of using September as my year-end mark, and I can already tell this is going to be sad. I have worn a bag out of the house just five times since social distancing began (mostly I'm using cotton shopping totes and throwing them in the wash when I get home). I'm calling my 2020 wears a wash at this point. I have some wishlist items, but it's hard to say what I will and won't use right now!

Warning: Rant ahead. I sold 3 items in August through eBay, Poshmark and Tradesy. No site is great for sellers but, I really despise Tradesy.

I shipped the item on Aug 9. Yet, they say I won’t receive the funds til Sept. 11. And, when sellers get cash proceeds (vs spending the money on the site) they charge 2.9% on top of the sales commission. :mad:

And, inevitably, I will have to call to shake the money loose after 9/11. More than a couple times they’ve “missed” the estimated funds available date and I‘ve had to keep calling to get the funds released.

In contrast, eBay gives you the money immediately. So, what justification can Tradesy have for holding the $$ for a month or more?Especially for established sellers?

To make matters worse, they don’t know the product. One buyer bought my bag, wore it because it came bag dirty, then sent it back for a refund claiming it was fake. Tradesy sided with the buyer. This was a bag I’d bought in the boutique. But Tradesy’s “authenticators” wouldn’t know a real bag from a frozen bagel.

I hate dealing with Tradesy so much that I list items 10-20% higher than I do on other sites due to the hassle factor :annoyed:

Thanks for letting me rant. This is reason number 728,615,009 that I’m so happy I have no more bags to sell. Now I’m down to a couple of pair of shoes and a few pieces of jewelry. (I hate selling so much I’m trying to restyle the jewelry vs sell.)

I am being soooo careful when I buy any and everything now. I never, ever want to sell anything again. I want to use my things til I wear them out or happily donate them. And, I want to feel like every purchase is exactly what I wanted.

Poshmark is the same way.
I really hate it

The reason they hold the funds so long is that they are holding the money in an interest bearing account; it’s a major source of revenue for them. And, have I mentioned how much it annoys me.

With our current de-funded post office, bags that took three days to ship priority last month are now taking over a week . Which means that if they sold on posh, it’s 10 days until I get my money.
