I haven't done many reveals lately. In fact, I have been making some hard decisions and have actually returned a few of my unused bags. I bought a lot of purses this year!

But I've always been a sucker for pretty, shiny, little evening bags, too bad my life style doesn't support this habit! I go to a few weddings and fancy parties each year and my current, lovely evening bag wardrobe is more than adequate for my needs. I actually bought a silver poppy disco bag at the outlet this summer but then I came to my senses and returned it.

A lovely little bag caught my eye on ebay recently. It was poorly listed and only had few bids. On impulse, I entered a very modest bid with just 25 seconds left in the auction and to my surprise (and pleasure!) I was the winner!

Then I started to get worried that it "must be too good to be true" and that it was a fake, but with Hyacinth's help I was able to verify the bag as the real deal!

Want to see what I got? :graucho:
 
I got a Madison Legacy Stripe Flap handbag 10465 in EUC and with the original dustbag for just $35!

The bag was released as a limited edition in Nov. 2006 for the launch of the 65th Anniversary line. The original MSRP was $289!

Here's some pics and I will post some more with the next message, including a couple of modeling shots.

It was advertised at "Excellent Used Condition" and it really is in beautiful shape and with the original, special little dustbag!

I don't think that the seller realized what a lovely, little gem this bag is - but at least it has gone to a good home! I will enjoy it and use it "guilt-free" on special occasions.

Here's some more pics, it doesn't have an actual creed patch, just a cloth coach patch and I didn't get a clear pic of it. And, of course, my oversized black sweater isn't the right outfit to wear with this little beauty!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! That is a gorgeous bag! And what a STEAL!!! You're so lucky, katev.

Thank you, I'm thrilled! It is very tiny and impractical and I have no idea when I will have an opportunity to wear it - but I just love it - it's such a special little bag.

Sometimes those little bags are the most fun. It looks like a nice size, like it's just big enough to carry the necesseties. It looks like new! And like you said, at that price you can use it guilt free!!!

I recently bought my first little bag, the studded Kristin crossbody, and I've already used it twice! I love this little bag, and I can understand how you're a sucker for pretty, little, impractical bags.

She looks great on you! Enjoy!

It's small but not microscopic! It measures 9.5 x 5 x 2 inches and the handle has a 6.5 in drop, so it can hold just the necessities, as you said.

I love the Kristin studded crossbody, I wish it would come to my outlet, congratulations!
