Hello all,
First off, kudos to my sister for recommending the website, the resources and peer knowledge on here is extensive and a bit overwhelming.
A bit of background on my situation:
A few months ago, my girlfriend and I visited a local Bloomingdales which has a built-in LV Store. She has always wanted a Speedy bag and immediately fell in love with the Speedy 35, Damier (brown color) pattern/design. The shoulder strap wasn't a big selling point for her and said she could do with out it.
I'd like to purchase a lightly used/vintage bag for her for Christmas.
One website my sister mentioned to me is bagborroworsteal.com. I have been checking it quite frequently, but I can't seem to find a Speedy 35 in the Damier (brown color) pattern.
What suggestions would you give for someone looking to purchase a LV handbag other than buying from the LV store directly? My top concerns are authenticity and price.
Is eBay an option? I understand that LV bags are frequently counterfeited, so I don't know how comfortable I would be purchasing from an eBay seller...
Thanks in advance!!!
