Aloha from Hawaii!  Thank you for viewing this auction.   Please be sure to look at the other items also up for auction.  I try to find unusual and fun items to list, found only in Hawaii if possible.  At the same time, I love to SHOP, especially for purses, and here on Oahu we have many, many designer stores.  In fact, too many!  How many cities have two Hermes, Gucci, Ferragamo, Christian Dior, Celine, Chanel and Louis Vuitton boutiques within two miles of each other??!!  I am especially fond of Dior, Tod's, and Yves Saint Laurent as they occasionally have sales and it's a PLEASURE to visit those boutiques often to try to nab the latest markdowns.   Though they will never be cheap since they are authentic,  I hope to pass some bargains on.  Please be assured my items are 100% authentic and not replicas or fakes.   

I KNOW my items are authentic and don't claim to believe they are (like some sellers.)  These are the ways I show my items are authentic:

1. I personally purchase them from an authorized seller of that brand or the label's own store (Neiman's, Yves Saint Laurent boutique, Tod's, Saks, etc.)
2. I try to be as thorough as possible in my description, noting the features and measurements.  And though it may sometimes backfire if I do point out a flaw and this results in no bids, I certainly don't want any buyer to be unpleasantly surprised!  Emails and requests for more information are always welcomed and answered as soon as possible.
3. I usually note the original retail price since I buy the bags from authorized retailers.  Some sellers inflate the retail price of the item listed, so please be wary if the original price is so high that it seems like you are getting an incredible "deal".  
4. I take many photos of the actual item in the auction with a distinctive background so you know they are my PERSONAL photos.   I use stock photos occasionally if they do show the bag at a better angle than what I can capture with my camera, but I would always still include photos of the actual item.
5. I take the photos outdoors in natural light for best possible viewing of the item and color.
6. I rarely have many multiples of the same bag listed.
7. I ALWAYS have the bag in my possession when I list the item.  When you win it, I pack and ship it personally - it is not coming from anywhere else (e.g. Asia!)
8. My auctions are always for more than one day.  One day auctions are often a red flag for fake items.
9. Returns and authenticity guarantees:  This is a tricky area.  Sellers of fakes often say:  "Authenticity guaranteed or your money back!!"  Then you get the bag, can determine right away it isn't authentic, and want to send it back.  You get some money back, but you had to pay shipping fees both ways, waste your time and feel scammed.  My position is this:  my items are 100% authentic - they don't need to be returned and I don't accept returns.
10. My feedback - I appreciate my wonderful customers.  They have left me positive feedback for good reason!  Of course sellers of fake items also get positive feedback, but note that in NONE of the comments I've received does any buyer say something like "good fake", etc.
11. Fakes are illegal!  They also hurt the sellers of legitimate and authentic items because of their artificially low prices.
12. Designers I have sold:  Prada, Hermes, Henry Beguelin, Tod's, Gucci, Ferragamo, Hogan, Yves Saint Laurent, Judith Leiber, Celine, Marc Jacobs, Mulberry, Longchamp, and more.  If you have time, please see all the pages of my feedback.
13. Most importantly:  I know how special it is to carry a REAL designer bag, and I truly could never disappoint or disrespect anyone with a fake.

If the price for a designer bag is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, then trust your instinct.  Hot IT bags of the moment do not sell for 50% to 70%  off retail!!

Shipping from Hawaii....
is unfortunately a little higher than usual. I ship United States Priority Mail (Parcel Post takes waaaay too long) and do not charge a handling fee.  The flat rate Priority boxes can hold quite a bit, so I try to use those where possible if that will save on shipping.  But I will avoid smooshing a bag into a small box and I pack very well, as I know it has a long way to go!   I almost always ship within one business day, often shipping within the same day I receive payment (especially if payment is sent before 4PM East Coast time.)  Shipping to the continental U.S. via Priority mail usually takes at least 3 days.

Thank you for reading all this!
