This article is not intended to convince you that buying used is the way to go . I know some girls (or boys scholarship ) , it's very personal matter and never buy used . But if you are open to the possibility , buying "used" makes sense Yoogis closet.
First, let's change our paradigm - it is not used because it is loved . I know several purse lovers and I can tell you that many, many lovers, baby bags wallet . Some more than others , but most do care for their purchases and clean them often with leather cleaner and moisturizer or baby wipes Yoogis closet.
Most make a conscious effort to keep the interior clean. I for one carry pens wrapped in Ziploc bags (thanks to a friend of a learned art CSP) in my purse. Others send their children to the hospital wallet purse on a regular basis Yoogis closet. For example , I send some of my purse babies to the manufacturer once a year for development, such as obtaining new dyed if the leather oxidizes or if there if the leather was hooked. Others make it a point to rotate their purses often to avoid corner wear and most store those purse babies in their dust bags and stuff them to ensure they keep their shape .
Of course , there is always an exception , look at Lindsay Lohan and Shauna Sands, they kill me with how beat up their purses look Yoogis closet.
When there is no point buying previously loved? when :
1. You missed out on a particular style or color and must now have.
2. Like the stock market, but did not like
3. You want the designer look without the designer price
4. Want to be green and recycle .
1. MISS a model :
A good friend of mine lost Dior lambskin purple pleated purse circa 2008 (I think) and is now looking for the scholarship. Another friend lost the Gucci Britt tote and after almost a year of looking for it, recently scored Yoogis closet! This year , I finally scored my first Gucci Blondie, the last of the Tom Ford designs for Gucci from 2004 . If you missed the individual or recently discovered a line of special design or color and must now have the model and then buying previously loved is the way to go !2. That's not love Yoogis closet:
Sometimes I just want a bag , but not love . Do you want an adventure bag , but unconditionally. So do not have financial success , buy used . Have the adventure bag and move on.3. LUXX on a dime - let someone else take the depreciation value :
A second good reason to buy a handbag that you liked and used the same logic in buying a used car . Let someone else take the depreciation value . Depending on where you buy your bag ever loved Yoogis closet, you can save between 20% and 50% of the ticket price . Based on scholarship Luxx rates today , which vary in the range easily over $ 1000, previously loved buying is perfectly logical. Remember, this does not always work for scholarships limited editions , which tend to retain their value more , and in some cases sell for more than the initial price . A perfect example of this : the quick watercolor around 2008 or 2007 Louis Vuitton ?4. BEING GREEN , RECYCLE :
Be green, recycle it ! Purchase loved before is perfect if you want to reduce the resources used to make further concessions. Especially for exotic skins like python and crocodile! Going green is also logical when you want something with lasting power. Yes , you can go to a department store or your local Tarjay and buy a new handbag, purse , but the classic and older models have the strength. Sometimes a little TLC or a trip to the local cobbler can bring new life into a purse or wallet that can send renewed in places like Avelle , artbag in New York or Los Angeles Pasquale .If you have decided to take the plunge and buy a new bag for you , what to do and how to do?
1. Do your research Yoogis closet:
The first key to buying a handbag for you is do your research ! Know the name of the section. After familiarizing with the style and brand. What kind of hardware using the manufacturer? silver, nickel , brass , coated leather ? Hardware is sealed ? If so , where? What colors was the model ? What leathers were used? What kind of stamps or seals used by the manufacturer?Much of this research can be done online and there are plenty of resources out there to help you familiarize yourself with the model of bag you are interested in viewing . This is why blogs are so awesome! They serve as a catalog of scholarships that each manufacturer has made . Some consignment shops have great research teams to help you familiarize yourself with the brand and how to spot the fakes. Fashionphile.com has excellent research tools to help learn more about various labels , especially for Louis Vuitton Yoogis closet.
2. Consignment :
You can buy at consignment stores . Much research is still required and must be ordered consignment stores fellow lovers who recommend grants . My favorites are : Fashionphile , Yoogis Closet , Ann Fabulous Finds , Let Trade, and Castira bag , borrow or steal . These sites are very well regarded and stand behind their product.Just note one thing : Generally , consignment shops have higher prices. The advantage is that they do research, they authenticate the product and you can buy without worry Yoogis closet.
3. ONLINE AUCTIONS :
One way to get the best price is eBay and Bonanzle . The advantage of these sites is that you do not have to buy an intermediary and can usually get a better price because they generally buy directly the seller Yoogis closet. The downside : there are many false on these sites and you need to be a responsible consumer .Yes, it can be scary . A few years ago , I found a fake Gucci, Guccissima Chocolate Indy . Fortunately , authenticates and got my $ back.
How to avoid buying a fake :
I. Know the product .
Again, do your research. For example , the line of Louis Vuitton Murakami Multicolor vl no red in it. If you see one on eBay with red LV, this is false.II . See if the seller has a good rating and comments
Make sure the seller has good rating and positive feedback.III . If the price is too good , it probably is
Unless there is a lot of wear on the bag and should be refurbished expect to pay between 20% to 60 % off retail . Of course Yoogis closet, there are exceptions and this does not include limited editions or purses that become popular after . An excellent example of this is the Gucci Blondie Bowler circa 2004 , which is now highly sought after Yoogis closet.IV . Ask, ask , ask away
If a seller does not provide pictures or answer your questions go . Request more photos , be sure that the seller is not only images Yoogis closet. This is a red flag. Ask to see the tags , hardware, back of zippers , corners, etc. A good and experienced seller and publish these pictures on the internet , but if not , you must provide it Yoogis closet. This seller does not evasive or answers. Skip.V. Use PayPal or another payment type which gives you recourse to contest a purchase
Do not do a bank transfer it's too risky and have no recourse if the exchange end up being false Yoogis closet. I like PayPal 's dispute resolution , which allows you to dispute a purchase if it does not work due to the misrepresentation of an item. Also use PayPal and back it up with a credit card . You need to protect yourself as much as possible Yoogis closet.VI. Yoogis closet Make the authenticated item
Before bidding or shortly after purchase , you can have the purse authenticated Yoogis closet.There are several professional authenticators who for a small fee (about $ 10 ) will authenticate a purse for you Yoogis closet. They have years of experience and can also help you with any Paypal dispute. I highly recommend Castira for Gucci, Carol Diva for Louis Vuitton and MyPoupette for other creators.
