LoGE is moving to Instagram (thegeneraleconomy)

1. Fast fashion posts will be deleted immediately at the discretion of the editors (Erica and Carissa (cupcakewalker)
Examples include pieces from H&M, Forever 21, Gap, Old Navy, Express, American Apparel (this is not an exhaustive list).

2. Pricing guidelines: Don't ask for more than you paid. If it's a current season item, I usually offer at least a 30% discount. Any posts that seem profit-motivated will be deleted. If it's obviously worn or more than 1 year old, I offer at least 50-60% discount of the paid price (not the original price).

3. I will only list 3 items per seller at a time

4. If you don't leave your contact info in the comments, you will not be eligible.

5. Only serious buyers, please! The buyer has 1 business day to pay or make arrangements.

6. If you have participated in LoGE in the past and would like to help me post items, please email me to make arrangements using a shared gmail account.

Glamorous they're not, but these simple leather Madrids have a certain everyday elegance to them, and you won't find a more comfortable sandal.

Leather Madrids are difficult to find in North America, so I bought these from a German seller via ebay, thinking that they would fit just like my previous pair. Unfortunately, they have a slightly larger footbed than their Birko Flor cousins. They are in brand new, never-been-worn condition.

Colour/material: soft, supple leather in 'Havana', a deep, rich brown

Size: 38N. These would fit an 8 - 8 1/2 US. Although they are marked 'narrow', regular Birkenstocks run quite wide, so these fit a foot of average width.

Paid: $54 + $18 customs fee :( = $72

Asking: $35 plus shipping from Montreal

Listing ends: June 10

Congratulations, Elisa!

Please email submissions for review to thegeneraleconomy@gmail.com

the rules are simple:
1. this is not a blog about making a profit. it is NOT intended as a site for recycling fast fashion. it is a place where you can buy and sell (and share) clothing by independent designers as well as classic, high quality pieces of both contemporary and vintage make.

2. if you're selling, include pertinent information like measurements, imperfections or fit issues, and the best photographs you can manage.

3. if you want the item, leave your name and contact information in the comments. if you do not leave your email, you will not be eligible. the buyer has 1 business day to pay or make an arrangement with the seller.

4. if you are on the receiving end, it is always nice to offer something so other people can have the opportunity to have it.

suggestions are always welcome.
