March this year I was ment to go to Italy as a 45 birthday present to myself.
I had saved for 4 years and already postponed it once last year when finance was more important.
Then Covid 19 hit the world and my dream trip was off.
So I was disappointed but also sad for Italy hurting.
In May I celebrated my 46th birthday and decided to give myself a birthday/commiserate gift of a bag from a brand I had always drooled over.
I already had one small piece of a coin purse in Lagon which I purchased for the express purpose of using in Italy....but she was lonely.
So for the last few weeks I have been hunting ebay looking for the perfect bag to start what looks like to be a new obsession.
I did have a small budget...but that budget was doubled when I saw what I could get for my New Zealand Dollar...I had to factor in the shipping and tax as well to my budget, which could add up to NZ$200 to the cost.
I must thank the wonderful @muchstuff (for authentication) and @whateve for the advice they gave me on styles and also condition. It was invaluable to me.
So here she is,
