I just checked eBay.... Nothing under $750 Canadian (Plus duties) and most at that price are extremely stained etc...
I can’t get over the prices esp since I bought a good condition GM about a year and a half ago for a little over $600 Canadian. Will have to wait till the trend dies down and buy then. I just felt the need to carry a smaller backpack for running errands cause my other one is too big for everyday.
I think this backpack is much better made than the NM and looks more luxe.
Well, the girls were wearing them at Coachella, so it probably has to do with supply and demand. I will keep my eyes open for you. Mine was not great on the bottom, but no horrible stains. I rubbed it with baby wipes and it seemed to even out. I get grossed out thinking about who wore it before, so I cleaned the whole bag a few times with the wipes
I did get a couple of Rebecca Minkoff backpacks in her mini size for days I go out with the dogs. They are super cute and hold a ton- even my mini iPad. I got black leather, and pink velvet from Nordstrom when they were on sale.

Thxs for looking out. I know what u mean about being grossed out as backpacks seem to get thrown everywhere. When I see the stains I always wonder what the bag went through and what gross stains they must be. I always clean my preloved stuff with Cadillac conditioner/cleaner and some magic eraser which does a fantastic job. I also take the inside lining out and clean with some dawn which is also great. For now my longchamp backpack will just have to fill my needs. [emoji4].
You're welcome
I never really knew how to clean these. I have heard good and bad about magic eraser. How do you take the inside out?
I can't believe some of these backpacks are 1600.00 now!! I paid around 450.00 and thought that was a lot at the time for a vintage bag.
I have my mothers old French Company bag- it looks like a taller version of a Speedy, but it's not a Speedy. Anyway the handles are very dark, so maybe I should try the magic eraser.
@Kitty157 @chloebagfreak I bought mine (not a mini though) for $350 [emoji33] two years ago. I think the prices have been up since the launch of the NM. The same happened with the Pochette Metis and the vintage sister Monceau.
Thank you! That's interesting. It also seems like some of them going for 1600.00 have almost new vachetta bottoms. I wonder if they got them replaced to ask higher prices. The tags all seem to be from 1996-1997. When I bought mine, all of them listed had bottoms that looked really crummy.
Joining with the Palm Springs mini! This is a repurchase. This bag is staying in my collection! 
Hello, it wont be able to fit a MacBook Pro 13"...I guess if you force it maybe you can buckle it with last setting...But it will be putting a lot of pressure onto the buckle....
I’ve been carrying the mini for a week now. I can’t put it down [emoji171][emoji171]
Wish I could share my thoughts but I don’t have the bag yet ☹️ I’m scared it would also happen on mine..
