Eggplant Patent Leather Lanvin Flats, size 8, 39.





*posted on behalf of Anna*

I'm offering my eggplant patent leather Lanvin flats to a new home. The uppers are in near pristine condition with a few nearly undetectable scuffs. The insides are also in near pristine condition. The bottoms are starting to show some wear and the rubber bits on the front and back will need to be replaced eventually. These have been very well cared for and have so much mileage left in them.

I am offering them for $225 including shipping. Original purchase price was around $500. See link below. Listing ends 2/13.

[RELIST/REDUCED] Chinese Laundry Leather Lace Up Flats – Size 6.5

Posting for Karen



Hi there, I’m still cleaning out my closet well into February! These flats reminded me a lot of the collaboration between Sea of Shoes and Urban Outfitters and I was super excited to have found a ‘simpler’ pair in my size. Too bad they ran long and narrow! I would say that these would fit a narrow size 7 best. The leather is gorgeous on these flats though, very pebbly and rich. Ships without box, but let me know if you need a box or additional tracking info as I’m trying to keep shipping costs low = )

Condition: Excellent, only worn around the house; size stickers in the heels left some residue behind
Asking: (Was $25+$9 shipping) Now $22 includes shipping from Canada
Listing ends: one week from today

Please contact Karen at klien@uwaterloo.ca if you have any questions or for more pictures!

[RELIST/REDUCED] Etienne Aigner Mauve Ballet Flats – Size 36

Posting for Karen



Hi there, I’m still cleaning out my closet well into February! These lovely flats were purchased from a sample sale and sadly are too small for me! I usually wear a 6.5 so these would fit a 6 very well. They are a lovely mauve/gray shade in a mix of leather and patent leather. They have a quilted toe and heel caps, and little gold baubles on the ends of the bows. Ships without box, but let me know if you need a box or additional tracking info as I’m trying to keep shipping costs low = )

Condition: Excellent, worn twice. Rubber soles and patent detailing very resistant to wear
Asking: (Was $35+$9) Now $30 includes shipping from Canada

APC BLACK WOOL COAT, XS






**on behalf Margot
I bought this heavy wool coat four or five years ago from the APC store in Soho.
It's a gorgeous, really well structured piece that's perfect for the mild winter we've been having this year. (This is the kind of coat you wear when it's a level just below puffy coat weather.)
I'm afraid I have a coat buying addiction and this one gets the least amount of wear--I've probably worn it less than 10 times in the time that I've had it--so it's time to pass it on to someone who'd give it the love it deserves.

Color: Black
Material: 100% wool
Size: XS
Measurements: chest (from underarm to underarm): 18 inches; sleeves (from shoulder to end of sleeve): 23 inches; length (from top of collar front to hem): 24 inches
Condition: excellent, barely worn

Asking: $160, including shipping to anywhere in US (If winner is in NYC, local pickup can be arranged too.)
(I can't remember what I paid for it, but based on typical APC prices, I believe it was around $450.)
Listing ends: one week from posting

APC BLACK LEATHER SHOULDER BAG





**on behalf of margot
I *just* bought this bag on eBay. It's a gorgeous purse and, like most APC items, a timeless piece, but I've realized that it doesn't complement my style very well. It's a really perfect everyday bag though, big enough to carry all of your usual personal effects, plus book/ereader, makeup bag, etc.

Size: 11.6 in (Width); 9.3 in (Height);
Strap Length: 39.5 inches

Color: Black with golden buckle
Material: 100% Leather

In very good condition.
Carefully worn, no tears, stains or other major signs of wear.

I paid $180.50 + $15 shipping, and since I just got it this week and haven't even used it yet, I'm hoping to get what I paid.
Asking price: $195, including shipping to anywhere in the US
Listing ends one week from posting.

Thanks!

Color/material: very dark navy twill with cotton lining. 100% cotton.
Size: 8
Measurements: shoulders- 16", waist- 17", length- 23" from top of collar

Asking: $25, which includes shipping to anywhere in the USA.
Listing ends: Sunday, February 12th

Phillip Lim Fan Silk Bouse - Size 6 (Re-post)








I recently purchased this top right here on LOGE and regrettably, the fit is not right for me.
Photos above and description below taken from original listing.

Hi there, I’m cleaning out my closet after a shopping heavy Christmas season! This is a great silk blouse that can be dressed up or down and worn to work. The dress version was seen on Keira Knightley some time ago. The stock photo shows the blouse as a deep blue color, but this one is a very dark shade of blue-black. Back zip accommodates many sizes, I’d say best for 4-8 depending on how tight or loose you wear your blouses.


Condition: Excellent, no noticeable wear
Asking: $70 + shipping
Listing ends: February 12, 2012

Current Elliott Captain Trousers - lowered price









These are absolutely new, divine Current Elliott Captain Trousers.


Size 28
Color Wash : Sea (very light blue wash)
Material : Premium Chino
18" in the knee narrows to 14" at the leg opening
Inseam - 27.

All tags intact. Wear for Love, Love for Wear tag as well !
Phenomenal sticthing, craftsmanship and attention to detail
Fit - loose/relaxed
Make extremely good travelling pants.
To be worn with rolled cuffs although I have do like to wear them unrolled as well with a formal top.
They look uber cool/effortless chic with a T or a blazer.
I love their denim and these chinos are no exception in terms of quality.

If you want a regular fit - go a size down. (i.e. if you are 29 - then these will be regular fit).
If you want the uber loose/boyfriend look - then these are TTS. But in that case - be warned, you might need a belt.


Here is a much much better description/styling -
http://the-coveted.com/blog/2010/07/19/the-captian-valeria/

I fell in love with these after seeing them in a magazine.
These came out a couple of years ago and were sold out everywhere(partly due to celeb endorsing). I obsessed and hunted them down and bought them two sizes since I wasnt sure - which one I would "like" better.
I wear the 27 for a more "fitted" look and dont want to be bothered with belts really.
I forgot about these extra pair in my storage until it was time to slowly unearth treasures before moving.

I paid 188 $+ tax
WAS Asking 95 $ + Shipping
Now 60 + shipping. (need to pare down my storage before move .)

J. Crew Griffin Coat - Size Petite 4





Gorgeous 100% wool Griffin coat in Bright Papaya.
On seam pockets and beautiful caramel color buttons.
Fully lined in a soft gold satin with black piping.
Hits at mid thigh.

This coat is gorgeous but living in California where it's not that cold, I seem to always default to my army jacket and have only worn it 2-3 times. It is in flawless condition.

Size Petite 4
Measurements:
Neckline to hemline: 29"
Shoulder to shoulder: 15"
Sleeve: 22"
Underarm to underarm: 18"

I bought it on sale and paid in the range of $160 or so once shipping and tax were factored in.
Asking: $80, plus shipping.
