F/W 01 1st season Gold tag Le Dix Chocolate FBF with a hole in the head, um bottom...and some other smallish booboos.

Just wanted to say how frustrating Vinted can be for many of us! Happily I’m ok this time!

I know it can be frustrating. But not just for you guys in the US. I'm very much in the same boat and peeved to no end when some US sites won't ship worldwide or are just too dumb to process international addresses...🤪

I think a Seafoam City sold quickly today on TRR. Under $1000 which feels like a shock for TRR prices these days.

Poor baby, looks quite faded..

Love this Getaria bag from the Couture collection. It’s a totally vintage “granny” style bag but I could see it looking very chic with the right outfits- like more Bal couture. Seems like a decent price for all of the “work and craftsmanship” they are claiming goes into its 2 weeks of production.

Apple Green day

Oof, I thought about it but it's too beat up for me ☹️
Maybe @earswithfeet can rehab it? You were looking for one right?

Damn, looks pretty faded...
Too pricey with shipping, tax and import on top. But thanks for tagging me!

Uh, oh my!!!!
"Noticeable flaws"???
Why bother selling something thats not useable or salvageable?
What it would cost to fix this, you may as well buy a new bag!!

BUT it's "Still a powerful archive piece with undeniable character."

I'm surprised the price is "normal". Their usual "couture" pieces tend to be priced much higher, like that Mercedes-Benz face shield.

Agreed! I’m like… do I need…? Hahaha I am on a ban that I keep breaking. I’m so bad. I need to be more honest with my therapist 😅😂

I was asking myself, "do I need?" too.
