Coach Wristlet / Make-up Bag

Posting for Halie


I am trying to sell a Coach wristlet/make up bag. I originally bought it for $78.00 and have never used it. The tags are still on it.

I am selling it because I found a bright colored one that suits my style more. Its too late for me to return it because I have been neglecting to take it back, trying to convince myself I will eventually use it.

I am trying to sell it for $40 + shipping.

Please leave a comment if you are interested. The listing ends a week from today.

NWT Issey Miyake Pleats Please bag



Tote bag made of signature Issey Miyake material that I purchased at the Textile Museum in Washington in 2009. It's gorgeous but I still haven't used it once. Stunning combination of red, pea green, and avocado green. It can be carried flat/rectangular with the insert tucked in, or like a pouch.

Measurements: 15"w x 9"h straps add 4"
Material: 100% Polyester
Retail: $285, asking $150 (includes USPS shipping)
Listing ends July 6.



Yoshiki Hishinuma black crinkle shirt (S)



Purchased ages ago in NYC Onward Kashiyama but worn sparingly - less than a handful of occasions. This is a form-fitting blouse that is suitable for every season. The crinkly texture of the material is highly unusual, and looks like a techno ribbon concoction. Yoshiki Hishinuma is a renowned fashion designer and textile artist who worked with Issey Miyake before going out on his own (google him - very impressive). Like the PleatsPlease line, this item travels extremely well.

Color: black, with 10 mother-of-pearl buttons down the center
Material: 100% polyester, very stretchy
Size: 1 (true to size), measures approx. 20" long (shoulder to hem), 15.5" across bust, and 23" sleeves
Condition: Mint.

Paid: $120?
Asking: $35 Paypal (includes shipping)
Listing ends: July 6

Étoile by Isabel Marant "Patty" Top



Fuchsia coloured empire waist top with cap sleeves. Ties in the back, but I don't think they are necessary. I would cut them off. Made by Isabel Marant in her Étoile line. From Spring/Summer 2009, and never worn. Still with new tags.  Made of 100% linen. Original price was $320. Size: 0 or but I would say it fits slightly larger. So maybe a 2 or a small 4.

Asking: $80 + shipping
Listing ends: July 5th
Email for any questions.

Dieppa Restrepo "Cali" Sz 8

posting for Sara



I just bought these perfect oxfords, but they are a half size too small. I would like to sell these, and put the money towards a better fitting pair! They are an awesome neutral color, and the perfect menswear/unisex shape. This is my third pair of Dieppa Restrepo shoes, and all I can say is that they are very well made/sturdy! Fit true to size. **There is a small pink spot on the right shoe in one of the pictures, but it has since been cleaned off**

Paid: $230

Asking: $155 shipped w/delivery confirmation.

Please email me at hellogreek12ATgmailDOTcom with any questions or requesting additional pictures.

Anthropologie Gemma silk blouse, size Large





What is it? Gorgeous sleeveless silk shirt from Anthropologie. The brand is Gemma.

What's the label size?
Large

Measurements, please? chest
(taken across): 21", waist: 18" (with stretch)

What's it made of?
100% silk

Some details: In addition to the ruffles around the collar, there is a tie at the neck of this blouse. The bottom is elasticized to create a blousy effect at the waist. Looks nice with dark jeans or tucked into a straight skirt!

Why am I getting rid of this, you ask? This sleeveless shirt is so beautiful. I pined for it last spring, and splurged on it, thinking it would be a great piece to layer under a blazer or cardigan in my "professional" life. I don't own a blazer, and I have yet to wear this piece other than to try it on. I realized that while the print is TO DIE FOR (flowers masquerading as fireworks!) the tie is not my style.


Silk is an amazing material, but this shirt seems a little stressed at the seams. There is ONE spot under one of the arms where the seam is very, very slightly pulled. I just wanted to disclose this. I have not worn this blouse, so I'm guessing this is from dressing room try-on stress.

How much? $35, plus shipping.

Please feel free to contact me mindorific (at) yahoo (dot) com with any questions.

Cheers!

Camper Brown Sandals, size 38





Camper caramel leather strappy sandals
size 38

These sandals have only been worn a couple of times and I just realized that they are too small for me! They were the perfect brown leather sandals to have in your closet when you need something nice, but not too high or dressy. Very comfortable and easy to walk in. Perfect condition. No wear or marks on the footbed, minimal wear on the sole.

I purchased these on vacation in London (when the pair of sandals that I was wearing to Henley broke) so I don't have the original box, but will ship well-wrapped.

Asking: $30 shipped
Listing ends: July 3

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Etoile Isabel Marant Haley Skirt




Isabel Marant Etoile Haley skirt
black
size 2
100% cupro (feels awesome and not as delicate as silk)

Current season and in perfect condition (unworn). I have the tags somewhere (I removed them for quick assimilation into my closet and they are hiding somewhere in my dresser) .... anyway - it doesn't quite fit right and I hope to pass it along.

Here is a link to the skirt on the Stuart and Wright website.

Asking: $150 shipped in US
Listing Ends: July 3

(sold) brilliant blue silk button up shirt, vintage, S




This shirt is beautiful. It pains me to see it go but I'm moving and I have never worn it out of the house... have a hard time wearing blue for some reason. The craftmanship is exquisite, and the fit is superb- so hard to come by quality garments from the 80's, this is a real find.

color is pretty darn true in the photos. 

size is marked 4, and is accurate- I wear a S in most tops and it fits me perfectly.
 length is almost 22" in front, and almost 23" in back.

100% silk, very soft and high quality, ever so slightly sheer, but not at all necessary to wear something underneath it. Slightly lighter colored stitching along all of the seams, functional and adorable chest pockets, shell buttons. In excellent vintage condition.

the tag says "THE BIRDS" on it and has a little bird on each side of the label, such a sweet detail.

Asking: $65 NOW $45 shipped in the US, a little more (I will calculate) if outside the US.

Listing Ends: July 4 :).
