I have purchased a lot from Poshmark recently. My favorite finds were my Longchamps and my Coach Kelsey. I prefer to buy Longchamp Le Pliage bags pre-owned, because they tend to scratch relatively easily and the corner wear is pretty bad. I'd rather not pay $100+ for a bag that wears like that!

Also, got a Coach Large Wristlet 25 for $20!

I found this gorgeous anniversary Willis for $13.59; however, I'm not sure if it looks too worn or not. The interior is just fine. It'll be for my own personal use. I noticed there was this light stain along the leather. Does it look too worn, and can this stain be somehow removed? Thanks guys.

The leather was originally supposed to look a little worn, if I remember right. Some of these had waxed leather that looked like there were cracks where the dye didn't reach. I would stuff it and try to steam out those folds. Maybe a conditioner to blend in the stains.

Thank you for the suggestions, whateve! Your feedback is always appreciated. I'll definitely give it a shot. Luckily the stains are not that visible and they fall underneath the flap portion.

I can't go thrifting. I thrifted because I was stressed, now I'm just stressed. I miss my resale stores... :crybaby:So, now I'm going thru all of my thrifted jewelry and boxing up everything I know I will never wear. I collected a lot of James Avery. Anyway I will post, because I have nothing else to do. After I take of my 83 yr.old dad and my older sis, I'm pretty much sitting and decluttering.

Decluttering is a great way to pass the time.

I bought one used as well. It looked worn, but I think that it’s the soft leather. I think that it needed to be constructed of a firmer leather. These bags will all probably look like this eventually.
