Vestiaire Collective are holding another one of their 10% off sales (code is 10AUGUST) and this time anything over £300 qualifies! These sales are always over in a flash (they usually only last a day or two) so I always make sure I do a quick scan of my favourites styles to see if any bargains come up (yes, I am *that* person). I had no intention of buying another bag so soon (it’s been a pretty bag-heavy summer so far!) but I spotted one that’s been on my radar for a while and it was in my perfect combination at almost half off retail with the extra discount – I couldn’t say no! Any guesses on what I snapped up?
I did a quick browse around the site and spotted some more gorgeous deals! This teal Fendi Peekaboo is stunning and is about 1/3 off retail. There is also an ever-rare small Chanel boy which isn’t the cheapest but with discount comes to about £2500 which is still a bit of a saving off retail for a very popular and hard-to-find bag. I think my favourite find though (apart from what I actually snapped up!) is this amazing metallic Chanel reissue – I’ve never been one for reissues but this one has me reconsidering everything!
There are also some great deals on the Louis Vuitton Capucines style – including a couple in the super popular BB size as well as the MM size. I’m still holding out hope that a PM is going to appear one day (if the handbag gods are listening – in galet with GHW please :D) as I doubt I will ever go down the route of buying one retail. In the meantime, I will be patient and stalk away!
Let me know if you manage to grab anything in the sale!
The elusive taupe Chanel jumbo? 🙂
that is my guess too!
Haha I wish!!
Hi! I love your channel, site, and everything in your "Amie room"! Speaking of Chanel bags, I am going to be visiting England for the first time next week and am planning on purchasing a Chanel Jumbo or a Chanel New Medium Boy. My friend booked us an AirBnB in the Bethel Green neighborhood. I'm not too familiar with London neighborhoods, do you know if that's a safe area to carry around my new Chanel or at least safe to carry the Chanel shopping bag at the end of my splurge shopping day from the tube/bus stations to our AirBnB? Sorry if this is a silly question but I would really appreciate any honest advice you could give.
Thanks so much!
How exciting! London is such a brilliant place to visit, hopefully the heat wave we're having extends to next week too! So I haven't been to Bethnal Green for a couple of years but it wasn't the best area the last time I went. That said, I have never been anywhere in London that I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying a Chanel bag. Most of London is filled with people and I generally feel pretty safe here. Of course, I don't wander into dark alleyways by myself at night but that's just common sense 🙂 I would think you'd be fine – Bethnal Green is a bit of a hipster place and I'm sure there will be the odd vintage Chanel bag around! 🙂 Enjoy your vacation!
Hi V and Amie! I live in Mile End which is the next stop from Mile End and use my vintage Chanel without any problems if that helps! Amie, love the channel and blog xx
Thanks so much Amie & Sonia! I really appreciate your help!
Hey! İ do have some questions (I came here from youtube btw) can i email you if so what's your email address? Not for business or anything you just inspired me…
can ı ask what theme do you have in this blog ?
I wonder what it is… So since it comes in a combination, it must be Chanel right?
Hi Amie,
