Hey everybody. I hope your days been going well. I'm struggling today. It's been almost a year since I experienced something very traumatic. I'm sitting in my office, sobbing at the computer. I don't know if I can keep up my normal schedule right now.
I am sorry to hear that. Be gentle with yourself today.
I'm so sorry. Take some time and breathe.
Buying a new bag is totally out of the question for me. The prices just put me in shock!
Two years ago when I started wanting a black quite classic bag with some kind of chain strap I had a look at a new LV Twist in the LV store, liked it, but not 100% as the snob in me would have expected a leather lining instead of microfibre and the size of the bag wasn´t perfect for me, either.
When I asked the price there wasn´t any doubt left. No thanks!
I think the idea of the shopping experience, getting a box, tissue paper, ribbon... the works... was what had driven me to try the bag on and I suddenly realized it wasn´t worth it.
A couple of months ago I bought my preloved black Dior New Lock for a fraction of the price of the LV Twist and am utterly in love with my purchase. It´s perfect.
I do not mind less than perfect as long as it is reflected in the price and I feel able to fix it. It´s rewarding to spa a bag and see it become almost perfect, again.
Curious to know how everyone's doing with sales these days. I have 11 bags listed and nothing's moving. If your bags are selling, is it all lower price range stuff? Or higher range such as Chanel and Hermes? Or in between?
I have maybe 5 vintage and modern handbags at prices under 30 Euro listed at the moment and they don´t sell. Last month I sold a 15 Euro modern bag somebody had added as a present to a coat I bought and a 55 Euro Pollini (exactly covering what I had paid years ago.) Over here money seems to be rather tight.
While doing my daily Dior bag research on ebay and the classifieds I notice that most bags just stay put. What sells (some of them to me!) are the total bargains and the fakes.
I´ve been eyeing two New Lock bags in really good state for weeks now. A black for price comparison with the black one I recently bought (mine was cheaper) and a gorgeous red that really speaks to me. Both are around 500 Euro and I´m sure there´s leeway, so not badly priced, but nobody seems to want them.
Sending you a hug and hoping you are feeling a bit better by now!
Can you take a day just for yourself? It might be a better option.
Thank you for the well wishes everyone. As it stands, I just sent my professor an email saying that I am okay with accepting a zero on a smaller assignment. I'd rather take a zero than suffer for some lousy assignment. I don't know if I am capable of getting the most amazing grades right now - that's okay. I continue mentioning that we need to be kinder to ourselves. Well, I guess this is where I'm giving myself kindness. I cannot bring myself to care anymore.
As for handbags, maybe I should sit down and give you guys the eye candy you've been so patiently waiting for. Perhaps that'll help me feel even the slightest bit better...
