Found some Celine sunglasses for $3 today.
I was shocked to see them in such good condition. Hey, did they authenticate your Dior scarf?
Not enough markers as its missing tags...I was starting to think its not..but wonder if they did promotional scarves for fashion shows?...think Im grasping at straws.....its going into my maybe pile until I get some more info.
It's funny how authentic scarves sometimes do not have their tags. Sometimes they become loose and fall off, or sometimes they are taken off because they irritate the owner. If the scarf shows credible rolled edges, made from silk, could it potentially be authentic? Tag on/tag off, are there other ways to authenticate? Well...that's my unnecessary rant for today. I am sorry Narnanz, but you wear that Dior scarf until the possibly authenticated rolled edges fall off.
A bag followed by a story.
Coach Mini Willis 19886. Price? FREE.
I saw this little cutie online. I purchased it ; however, upon further observation, it seemed like this bag was going to be not as described. I trusted my gut and cancelled the sale. Unfortunately, somehow the seller was able to ship it out within the minutes I spent double-checking the listing. I contacted Poshmark to let them know their mistake to which their response was to keep the handbag free of charge. I ensured that the seller would get paid for their mistake as well which they were. When I received it.... wow.... my intuition was certainly correct. The lining was covered in unsightly stains ; the interior pocket was sticky and the bag itself was crushed. It is always so surprising how willing people are to sell such items in horrible condition. I cleaned it up and here it is now...

I never sell items like that. I use to sell and let them know if you are unhappy, I will gladly refund. Now, I sell "as is". My items are usually in pretty good condition, nothing like what you've experienced. That's truly sad, but your bag looks good now!

Ok, I just had this little cutie authenticated on the Coach thread. I purchased it for $5. 
They might have. I got a free Gucci scarf once at the store's grand opening. I don't think it has all the authenticity tags. I'll have to look for it.
