Super exciting day for me today! Finally got a chance to pick up from Christie's the bag I bought in the auction in Dec!

This is my first purchase with Christie's, my first ever pre-loved item, AND my first ever barenia!

And here’s me walking into Christies (which my ❤️ documented for me) and the cutest little barenia evelyne tpm! i hope it’s got more aging to go!

thanks! I am so excited!

I am ambivalent about auctions... Christies charges buyer a 25% premium, and then charges seller another 20% premium (the final price you see online is inflated already with buyer's 25% premium). It's really the only party that's making a killing. On top of that, it was going to charge me close to $300 dollars to ship the bag to me. I actually emailed them and was like - hummmmmm i live less than 10 blocks away from you. And they came back and said : yes, that would be $275 for shipping. ‍♀️

Anyways. I have never seen a barenia tpm. My SA confirmed that she's never seen one - so I closed my eyes and bit the bullet.

ps - if anyone is in the market for croc (not himalaya), you get great prices at Christies...

I’d only bite the bullet for something very unique like yours and if prices are within my reality lol
Great to know about crocs!
$300 shipping???
I know insurance is not cheap, but it’s 10 very posh NYC blocks, give me a break. I guess the 45% profit is not enough... :doh:
Anyways, enjoying your beautiful Barenia. It’s so exciting to get a bag that will get better with age!

Congrats on the cute Barenia TPM. I saw that one at the auction and forgot to bid on it. Was busy with looking at other bags but the pace was quick ! I had bought from Christie's once several years ago and they charged me $200 to ship two bags and I thought that was steep. Yours is $275 for a small box that you can pick up in the same city !! But thanks for the photos as I get to see Christie's office and the pickup location so I know better next time.
