Best find 2018

I usually wait until it's almost the end of the year to share with you my best consignment shop finds. However even though its only mid year, I honestly do not think any other item I find will beat this, we'll see.

A few months ago I was at a consignment shop getting ready to pay for this skirt when I notice an off white little bag right next to the cashier. I touch it and stop. It was leather, but not any leather, it must be lambskin, I thought because it was extremely soft. I pick it up and see the crushed leather camelia. I open the bag I read the label. I close the bag, look at it again from the outside and smell it. I open it again and look for the serial number and voilá, there is it was. After some research the bag dates to 2003-2004, not vintage yet.

I asked the cashier, who knows every single consignor, "Do you know if this is original?" She answers "I think it is, that lady has been bringing in some really nice things, she is also the owner of that skirt you are buying". Without knowing, I took home two of her items: the bag and the skirt. 

And that folks, is the story of how I got this amazing Chanel little bag which I've seen go for about 750 € on line oh and here is a black and larger version of it.

How much do you think I paid? I will reply to each of your comments telling you how much I paid for it ;)
