Billykirk Small Carryall Bag *SOLD*

It pains me to let this bag go, but after carrying it for a few weeks, it's been sitting in my closet. I have another Billykirk bag that gets much more use, and I'm trying to edit my bags. I purchased this new from Atticus Boutique late last winter.

(Description from Blackbird Boutique, the most accurate I could find): Oiled cotton and 100% genuine leather bag with adjustable/removable leather shoulder strap, leather top carry handles, and hard shell leather bottom. Equipped with a sturdy metal zipper and matching hardware and featuring two interior pockets, this antique-feeling doctor style carryall has the room to carry all of your daily necessities. Its charm and durability make it a joy to cart around. Measures 11" x 12" x 7". Handmade in the U.S.A. by Amish leather workers.

The canvas is Olive green (with olive nylon lining) and the leather is Billykirk's Natural, which will deepen over time and use.

Condition: There is a little bit of dirt on the bottom of the bag (which is natural leather, so it will show dirt until it darkens)-- see the last picture. I find the zipper to be a bit awkward to use, but this is because it's fairly hefty and curves over the frame of the bag (they've changed the design to be buckle-only this year). No tears or stains. This is a solid bag.





Paid around $200; retails for $265. Asking $140 plus $15 shipping in the U.S. Listing ends May 8th.

Paid: $150

Anthropologie Ruffle Trench-SOLD!


Sold-Thanks Lauren!

This is one of the first things that I've purchased at Anthropologie and while I absolutely love it, I really need to part with it since it hasn't been worn. I'm hoping this goes to a good (and stylish) new home!

The trench is by Idra, here are some details:
Size 4 (see measurements, I'm usually a 0/2 but this worked for me due to the double set of buttons and belt)
Fully lined with amazingly cute vintage car print double set of buttons that look ivory/marbled Approximate measurements lying flat: shoulder to shoulder 15 inches, bust 16.5 inches, sleeve length 17.5 inches. It's in absolute mint condition and has only been worn several times.

I paid $168 for this coat a few years ago. Asking $75 (within the U.S.) which includes shipping and delivery confirmation

steven alan

size P, but the dress will also fit if you're between an xs/s
f/w 2010
100% silk
made in nyc

i have a (un)healthy addiction to steven alan. i purchased this from the steven alan store in venice, but it never made its way out of my closet because it veers on the snug side for me. the dress is a classic shape/style from SA, with subtle pleats that i find flattering at the neck and waistline. side pockets. also, the print is really lovely. brand new, with tags.

also, here's a link to it on the steven alan website. you can see much better the shape of the dress:

Dagg and Stacey Polka Dot Blouse





This is a super adorable and functional silk/cotton blouse from Dagg & Stacey. I would love to keep this blouse, but it's too tight across the bust! I've worn it twice and have realized I really can't hang with a blouse that doesn't fit me right. It's just perfect--balloon sleeves, great details with its slightly curved back hem and 1940's collar. You can rock this at work and then transition to dinner. It's just that versatile.

Size: Large, but running small; 13.5" shoulder, 34" bust, 30" waist, 13" sleeve, 22" length.

Paid: ~$130
Asking: $65 Paypal only. US shipping included in price.

Louis Vuitton Montorgueil PM bag

this posting is on behalf of Linda
 
I was so excited to get this Louis Vuitton Montorgueil PM bag as a graduation present last year, but it's just been sitting in my closet in its dustbag. And now I'm off to grad school (and grad student poverty), and it doesn't make much sense to keep something so luxurious that I am, if I'm honest with myself, never going to use... The bag has never been carried outside and is basically brand new without tags!

Here's the description from http://www.louisvuitton.com/ (you can also see more photos on the website):

"With a simple and feminine shape in Monogram canvas, this bag sets off any outfit with a touch of refinement. Its smooth shape and comfortable shoulder carry make it perfect for everyday use. 

Size (LxHxD): 14.1" x 8.3" x 6.3"

-Flat and soft handles for a comfortable shoulder carry
-Interior patch pocket
-Zipped opening with padlock to secure the bag
- Strap drop length from shoulder to top of bag is 8.5" (21,5cm)"

Retails for $885 (according to the website, where it's currently out of stock); I'm asking $375 plus shipping (probably $10?) anywhere in the US. 

Listing ends a week from now. Do email me at befuddled.and.bemused [at] gmail if you have questions, or want more pictures, etc.

Yellow A.P.C. summer dress with white embroidery.

Adorable yellow dress in a gauzy cotton. Perfect for the summer. I bought this a while back but it doesn't look right on me. Easy, open shape. Looks great loose or belted to give it some structure. Not as short as it might look in the bottom picture - I'm 5'2" and it hits me at the knee.

Condition: perfect - never worn once!
