Things are kind of going my way lately, there are lots of items in styles that I like. I either don't like the color or already have it in another style; I will bankrupt if both works in my favor. LOL. =) I'm watching a lot of MJ items for fun (also would lie to know how much they will go for), feel free to correct if any item is not authentic. =)

Petal Venetia -- so gorgeous, but I already have Anouck in this color!

I meant to say that I would like to know how much these items would go for. Goodness, I needed caffeine. LOL....

I learned that I shouldn't settle for items. I bought 2 MJ items a while ago because of the style or color, but not both. I wish I waited for the perfect combination to come along.
1. Lola in Dusty Plum -- Love the style of Lola, but the color's only so-so for me.
2. New Anouck in Petal -- Love the color Petal, but the style's not totally drool-worthy for me. Would love Petal Venetia!!!!

I'm so bad -- I don't sell my bags, I only buy. LOL. I shouldn't think about what-if... =)

I always buy and sell...I get tired or bored of a bag and then I sell it to fund new ones. Wish I could keep them all but at least this way my PHH is somewhat ok w/ it.

Not too familiar with denim bags, but additional photos would help. There should be a serial tag inside the interior pocket, a photo of this and the back of the zipperhead and receipt would be helpful.

This one is fake to me, the quality and the leather texture looks wrong.

How could you not like the dusty plum color?? I think it's beautiful... If your not happy with the bags, or not getting enough use out of it, you should put it up in MP. That will help fund your early bday present!

Has anybody noticed this Ebay auction?

eBay: Marc Jacobs Quilted Shoulder Bag in Caramel, AUTH!!!! (item 290040725258 end time Oct-22-06 15:33:12 PDT)

It looks like a variation of the banana hobo...Was this an actual style and if so, does anyone have an opinion about its authenticity? It's really cute and would make a great everyday bag.

TIA!

Hard to tell if it's real, looks ok but I'd have to see add'l photos to confirm, like the zipperhead and the serial tag. MJ did make the hobo with chain straps, not sure if it's resort or fall 05. It's a pretty bag, but I wonder how the double chains would feel on the shoulder...

^ Discontinued styles/colors and leftovers from department stores get sent to outlets. I am sure that outlets wouldn't have hot bags like Chloe's Paddington Satchel (in classic colors), Fendi's Spy, MJ's Stam, Balenciaga's b.bag, YSL's Muse, etc. When these bags are no longer hot, they can be found at heavily discounted prices. =)

MJ's original Stellas used to sell for $1200 on ebay.....

The original Stellas used to go for $1200 every day of the week, before that place was flooded by all the fakes.

Today I would think $600 - $700 would be an average price.

They are quite rare and lovely. The leather is much higher quality than the LE reproductions.

We really have different tastes. =)
Even though I am a big MJ fan, I don't love all the styles/colors (dislike & would never consider some of them). I consider myself very picky, I prefer certain looks only (dressier styles over less casual looking ones). LOL. I wouldn't say I am not happy with some of the bags, I just don't go OOOH AHHH over them like my other ones (such as Quilted Ursula Elise, Chevron Caroline, Venetia, Blake, ..).

I donated most of my bags to non-profit organizations a few years ago; I still clean out my closet every year & give away clothings, shoes, jewelries, and stuffs that I no longer use. I started to rebuild my collection while getting into premium designers (MJ, Prada, Celine, Chloe...), I try to be very careful with my choices -- only get the items that I absolutely love. =)

Not sure if I will ever sell the items though, never say never right? =)

^ You're right, I'm more a sporty spicegirl.. I like casual looking bags that are easy and comfortable to wear. My style is not what I would call lady like. I have very few occasions to get dressed up as I'm usually covered in a white coat. Sorry, not the straight jacket kind either.. LOL!!
