Today, I went into one of my favorite thrifts. There's an older woman that works there and we always talk when we see each other. When we were ending our conversation, I complemented her scarf. It was bright red with a black border; very vibrant. She said, thank you and took it off her neck, and tied it around my neck. She said, "Merry Christmas." I told her that I didn't want to take her scarf, but she said she would go to the dollar box and get another one. So, when I got in my car, I looked at it a little closer. It had a lot of script writing and I saw Hermes. I looked even closer and yes, it is authentic. I couldn't believe it.

I waited to have my new to me LV Speedy authenticated before posting. I bought it with the gut feeling it was “real” but wanted written proof, kwim?

Anyway it’s a Speedy 30 from 2008 priced at 50.00. At the Sal Val Wednesdays are half off most items. I never thought they would ring it up for 25.00 but the cashier did!! I paid 25.00 for her plus the 30.00 authentication fee. I almost ran out of the store !
