Your purse is on fire!



That's Not My Age has never owned a bag with a name, like Kelly or Birkin or Alexa or Stam. My accessories would have names like Freebie and Giveaway and This Is Not A Designer Bag. Anyhow, I'm still hankering after a Mum Bag. And if I had a fat wallet, this week, I'd go for the Hermés Constance. I'd buy it from the Instant Luxe website, which has just launched in the UK (and was originally set up in France in 2009) - the retail price of a new Constance is approximately £4800 and this little number recently sold online for £1265. At Instant Luxe, customers can buy and sell second-hand luxury goods safe in the knowledge that they're getting the genuine article. Items are authenticated by independent valuers so there's no chance of being lumbered with a counterfeit dud. Bonne ideé, non?

    I just love bags and the only ones I can afford with names usually hit consignment shops and occasionally Marshalls...I have a couple of consignment finds that really blessed my socks off!!

    That's a great price on a Constance--and wow, a service that makes sure everything's authentic? Excellent!

    I'm not much of a bag person, but I guess I could get into a big old vintage Chanel bag, because they have the power to lend chic to any outift.

    Oh, and Marshall's? I've had so many amazing bargains from there. Full length black Born boots for $75 which, in a fit of thriftiness I almost passed up. I have worn the soles right through. Sigh.

    The lure of a posh bag with its own name is getting stronger ....... and always live in hope of finding something gorgeous in a charity shop. No joy yet.

    I agree it's the most simple and stylish bag ever. I'd love one or a Chanel 2.55. I'd just fill a Birkin with rubbish xx

    I still don't have a fancy bag with a name either and I feel like I should, it's a neverending hunt.
