Consignment Stores

I love getting my hair cut.  Not just because I love the scalp massage and being pampered, but because my salon is next door to my favourite high-end consignment store in Vancouver.  Consignment stores are great for girls who love designer but don’t have the paycheque to justify daily visits to high-end retailers.

Last weekend I made sure I had lots of time to browse through the new arrivals of my fave consignment store after my haircut, which always includes drooling over their collection of designer bags.  All the usual suspects were there: $1500 Chanel totes, $750 Chloe purses, and, my showstopping fave, a $300 Gucci bag.

I have had my eye on a $900 Gucci Sukey hobo bag for quite some time but $900 is a bit too much for me to justify. So when I spied this gorgeous 2005 trademark Gucci bag, with signature bamboo handles and brown leather trim in pristine condition, I just couldn’t walk away.

As far as bags go, it wasn’t cheap but for Gucci it was a bargain.  Especially when you gain points towards future purchases and, because I spent a certain amount of money, I also received a $50 credit towards my next post-haircut shopping trip! I can’t wait for my new haircut to grow out!!
