The medical system in the US is so frustrating. I’m sorry you had to let go of some of your bags, but at least it was a recourse you had available. I think about all the people struggling under medical debt in the US, and it’s just so sad.Good morning, fellow Islanders!
A recent medical bill for my DH that our present health insurance refused to pay, hard choices regarding my bags had to be made.
So over the weekend I visited a high end consignment shop in my daughter‘s vicinity. Before I went I had to send them pics of bags they might consider.
The only interest they showed were in my Longchamps, Gerard Darels, and two Dooneys. Interestingly enough, once they actually saw the bags they offered me a cash offer for all the bags I’d brought rather than charge me any consignment fees.
(I think it helped that all my bags came with their dust bags and were in (their words not mine) “exceptional condition”)
So, my dear friends, I accepted their offer without hesitation.
With the proceeds I was easily able to cover my DH’s medical bill with enough left over for any other “surprises” our health insurance may have in store.
On the bright side of this otherwise dreary tale, my daughter (who was with me at the time) insisted
on treating me to an early Mother’s Day gift.
(A gift she knew I would have no choice but to accept after I’d categorically refused to allow her to pay her father’s medical bill)

Your Brahmin, though, is gorgeous. I can be tempted by Brahmin so easily. It’s perfect for spring and summer, and seeing yours made me want to rush off and get the same one. Lovely gift.

I should use that bag more often, but I have so many to choose from.
