Somewhat random question related to Evelynes...what are people's thoughts when it comes to buying an Evelyne over retail? I have been wanting a very specific (and more sought after) combination of an Evelyne PM. I am tired of stalking the website and always being seconds too late. Is it "worth" it to pay $250-ish over retail just to get the specific combination from a trusted reseller or hold off and keep trying the website. I know this is a very subjective question. Just interested in other people's opinions since I am driving myself nuts :shocked:

I purchased an Evelyne tpm in bleu pale for twice the retail price in brand new condition. Is it crazy? Probably. But I really loved the colour, and wanted one so I bought it. 2 months later I walked into the Madison boutique in NYC and asked for one and low and behold they sold me one in noir. To me a bag is worth what one person is willing to pay for it. So I would say if you see one in the exact combo you want, in the condition you want then yes it is worth paying over retail.:smile:

That is a beautiful TPM! The TPMs are so hard to come by as well! I think I'm just struggling with paying over retail for a PM given how plentiful they used to be, but I know that is no longer the reality.

Thank you :smile: Honestly, I really love them. Years ago I never thought I would ever buy one when I would see other women wearing them. Was never really into crossbody bags. Always loved top handle.
But as soon as I tried on the tpm in blue pale I was sold on both the style & colour. I was like why did I not like crossbody bags? :lol:

Can I ask for a clarification? $250ish meaning $250 dollars or $2,500 over retail? I was fortunate to buy a malachite Evelyne PM at my local store a few years ago. It actually was my first H bag and the gateway into many more :facepalm:

No, just $250 over retail, not $2500 :yucky:

I actually already have two Evelyne PMs, but I’ve really been wanting one particular color as of late (I certainly don’t NEED a third, though)!

Oh, $250 over retail is a deal if it's the bag color and condition you want IMO. I'd totally do it.
And we never "need" another bag :lol:
