What it's Really Worth

Sometime last month, I did a post where I included a purse that I got for $2.99 at the thrift store, I also mentioned that I believed that it was from the 60's.

Well after doing some research, I found out that my purse is actually from the 50's or 60's. I also found out that it's made from eel skin and worth between $50 & $80.

I was really surprised and excited at the fact at how cheap I had purchased it :)

Now I know all this thanks to my bff Cisco :) (ily, sorry I didn't mention you sooner)

Sorry for the quality of the first picture, I didn't feel like grabbing my camera from the car lol


Have you ever purchased something and then learned that it was worth way more?

  2. That bag is so cute, what a find! Oh, and I just saw those boots from UO from a couple of posts ago- LOVE LOVE LOVE them. They are gorgeous. I'm such a fiend for stuff like that. If it's out of season but on sale, I'll still get it so I can wear it later lol xo

  4. Thats such a cute bag! I've purchased a few bargains, like some vintage rayban shades, which i picked up really cheap. I also got some vintage christian dior shoes for £20, i'm not sure how much they are worth, but I reckon it is more!
