I finally found another House of Harlow snake bag :yahoo: Silly story- I had bought this exact same one back in March but returned it cause I felt guilty for spending money. I tried to be proud of myself for being responsible but ever since I returned it I've been absolutely kicking myself. I really did love it, I tried to find it again but it's out of season and only available on resale sites for double what I originally paid. I was about to just bite the bullet and buy one of the cheaper ones I found online but today while running errands, I popped into a TJMaxx one town over. Nearly fainted when I saw it on clearance for $38! Not the highest-end bag but finding it again and especially for so cheap legit made my entire day.

So my second (of 2 ordered) Balmain x Barbie bag arrived today and..... I love it. Now I have a dilemma bc I figured if I ordered both, I could see which style I like better in person but I love them both! And to make matters worse... since when the first one arrived (disco round crossbody), I decided I would probably keep it and end up returning the BBuzz when it arrived, I found another Balmain BBuzz bag in another print (not barbie related) that I might not be able to live without. I mentally justified exchanging the barbie one for that one but now not sure what to do bc don't feel like parting with either bc both so pretty but think too similar to keep both. Advice?

Also arrived today was package for a pre-loved bag I ordered from Fashion Phile (btw MUCH better packaging than Neiman Marcus for the above Balmain order). I wanted to order this empreinte neverfull new from LV 2 summers ago when the Wild at Heart collection came out, but it sold out before SA could order for me and for the past couple of years, I refused to pay significantly more for it on the resale market. Finally found one at close to the original price and it appears to be in great shape. However, the color of the "white" background on the leopard print pouchette and luggage tag appears dingy/slightly discolored and not sure what would cause that to happen over time or of there's a way to clean/restore brightness. The main reason I really wanted this bag is bc I have the On the Go from same collection which does not come with pouchette and wanted to use the "matching" pouchette with both bags. I am attaching a photo of luggage tag on my On the Go for color comparison. Although the tags are slightly different, I'm assuming the color would have originally been the same or is it possible this was intentionally darker bc the bag is cream not white?

It looks like it was cleaned and the pink inside the spots bled out all over. Regardless, it’s a lovely bag.

I would have never thought of that but now that you mention it and look at the background of pouch next to the cream color of handbag, it does look slightly pink. Good thing pink is my favorite so I will make due with it.
 
Welcome! This was my first time shopping with them and it was great, really fast and I appreciate that all the fees and duties were taken care of at purchase, I'm looking at you SSENSE :P

I've purchased from them once or twice and the transactions were seamless. Very professional.

Super happy with the purchase I made with Italist. As Muchstuff said, seamless.
Thank you all!

Keep Both And get the Other Balmain!

They’re All different, you only live once..I love them All!
I tried to find them online but they’re sold out..don’t send them back, as if you change your mind, you won’t be able to get them back again..

Just my advice ..xx
