Dunlin Black Leather Lafayette Weekender Bag [SOLD]


I'm selling my large black leather weekender from Dunlin. It's such a beautiful bag--made of incredible soft aniline dyed cowhide, amazing dark brass hardware, 3 outside pockets and two main top zip compartments, expandable size due to the way the straps let the upper section fold in... big enough to fit books and laptop and small enough for every day use. Retailed around $900 at Oak, Opening Ceremony, and La Garconne, other versions have gone on sale but the classic black version is nearly impossible to find. Same style as this one at La Garconne but not in sparkle goatskin.

Size: see photos on model for reference. Bottom measures 17" x 6", fully expanded height is around 14", collapsed height around 9".

In fantastic shape--these bags only look better with age, I've had it for about 3 months and taken good care of it, condition is 9/10. Comes with original dustbag. This is seriously the perfect everyday bag, has a very unisex quality to it, durable, and made of the best leather. I'm only selling it because I really need the money!

SOLD

[REDUCED] Grey Ant Silk Tunic Dress


I have a Grey Ant tunic dress I bought on Shopbop.com a couple of years ago. It is made of a beautiful dark grey silk, with a big V shape on the front (or the back, I wear it reversed) in a slightly lighter shade of silk, with a small tie closure. It retailed for around $400, I bought it on sale for about $150. Worn about a dozen times, dry cleaned once, a couple of small slightly darker stains on the V section (barely noticeable). Marked size Large, fits very open.

Looking for only $45 plus shipping, please leave your name and email in the comments if you are interested! Thanks.

[Sold] No6 5" leather buckle boot





















Hi all, I am offering my No6 clog boots for sale. They are the '5" leather buckle boot' in black.

I bought these in late October 2009 and wore them a few times a week until it got too cold for them in early December (I live in cold, cold Toronto). They are in great condition: the soles show a little wear and there are the tiniest of scuffs on the toes (see the second and third pictures from the bottom for close-ups). Otherwise they are perfect: beautiful leather, handcrafted, very good quality, etc. I think most of us know all about No6 boots. With proper care they will last a very long time.

These are a size 39. No6 boots run a full size big, so these are really a size 38 (8). I normally wear a size 7.5 and wasn't sure they would fit - the website says half sizes should order 1.5 sizes up - so I discussed sizing with the nice people at No6 before ordering. This is what Audrey said:
"These boot run a full size small, so the 39 is a 8 and the 38 is a 7. The base of a clog does not bend or flex so when you are walking your heel needs to slip, if they are too tight you end up walking a little like frankenstein. I advise you get the 39 if you are a 7.5. A little on the big side is always better when it comes to these."

I followed her advice and she was absolutely right.

I am letting them go because I recently purchased a pair of Frye boots and like them better. I never quite got used to the wooden clog sole, and now that I have the Fryes I know these won't get worn much. Plus, I can't really justify having two pairs of black ankle boots in my wardrobe.

Price: $300, including shipping within North America. International buyers, please contact me for a shipping quote.

First come, first served. Please leave your paypal address in the comments, and feel free to email me with any questions.

New DVS yellow sneakers/flats, size 8


I bought these shoes because they were the last ones available and so darn cute but, um, I'm decidedly a size 9 and not going to lose an inch from my toes anytime soon.

These are size 8 (women) casual shoes from DVS and are brand new, never worn outside. Fits true-to-size for size 8s. They are butter yellow and a saturated color, with a white rubber sole (kind of like Converses) and a design of two white stripes at each side of the shoe. They're slip-ons but have white, braided shoelaces at the front of the shoe. It's a bit street, a bit spring/summer-y, a bit sailor-inspired-ish (I think so, for the last, at least.)

Price: $25, shipping to the U.S. included

I'm going by first come, first served. Please e-mail me if you have any questions, or eave your e-mail in the comments if you're interested.
