I went looking for an “Ugly Christmas Sweater” but came away with this Maje sweater instead.
(Less than $10.00!)
(Less than $10.00!)
First pair is just super cute (I think). Dark blue suede flat sandals. Second pair is IMO not soo cute, but super expensive Henry Beguelin - who actually makes some of the cutest bags ever. They had some OBVIOUSLY replaced gold stretchy shoelaces, which I had to remove. If you don't know, if you see anything with this stick figure guy on it, it is something handmade, sometimes one of a kind HIGH END.
I found some thin leather string. I wanted cream color, but with the supply shortage, you can never find what you are looking for. Attached is what I got AND the ugly gold string they were using. Who puts that on a $400+ pair of shoes?
“European blown glass” Santa 8.99. Was too pretty to leave

I've had this for so long I don't even remember where I got it. I always just figured it wasn't authentic, just because of what it is. For some reason I just looked it up on the Hermes website and it looks identical to what is on the website. Thoughts?
The AT thread for Hermès is closed...unfortunately....and I think when it was open that it had to be a live link
There is one just like it (different color) on the Hermes page (not tPF)
The fact that the stitching is like tiny check marks is a good sign - it means that the item was hand stitched rather than machined. That is an Hermes style, and the heat stamp looks good.
I think you got a winner.
I’d pay for a professional opinion if you wanted to sell it, but as a lifelong Hermès collector, the photos you shared look good.
$9.44 with discount, $13.49 without my discount! I've actually never seen this before.
Found yesterday for $5 Kade Spade Clutch and today for $2 a Red Valentino Bow crossbody that needs a bit of work
Back in the ole' days...(July 2022) They use to give away clothing for free. Now they sometimes charge. I paid $13 for this "silk scarf" they marked on the tag. My newest acquisition: a Hermes Vol Amoureux Des Azures.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a full size reversible Le Creuset grill/griddle for $25.
