I had to pay over retail for mine. Not quite that much but it was worth it to me. Especially since it's BN. Really to get this shawl now it's the only way to get it. I guess you might find one being sold by an individual for less that has been gently worn. Wonder how long it will last??
I'm with you Bijoux
I will pay over retail for a scarf I want for my collection that is no longer available, even more so if in new or unworn condition. But that is me, and like you I am a collector and cherisher! Heck for me with tax now the GMs are almost $1,300!
I think this yellow Gia is gorgous and so special and so happy you found one a second time. Like lightening striking twice.
And for someone searching this one from the resellers may be a triumpf.
There are some patterns and formats I continue to search for.......
