Dior Gaucho Denim Saddle Bag
It is Dior Gaucho bag again! I cannot believe I bought two Dior gaucho bags!
This denim canvas Gaucho bag was bought at a Dior boutique in the designer outlet in Bicester Village, Oxford, Britain. The retail price for this bag is £700. And this is listed for £350, half price in that Dior boutique. I guess nobody can resist this kind of temptation.
After I bought this, I started regreting. The reason being is because this is a canvas bag, not a leather bag! As I said in the post of Fendi Zucca Spy Bag canvas bags are hard to manage. They are too soft. I put my car key in the bag, you can tell from outside.
check the side photo here, it cannot stand itself:
Although I really like Gaucho bags, I finally sold this bag via eBay. I sold it for only £150 / $300! A fake gaucho bag can sell better than this.
Before I sold this bag on eBay I did try to sell it via different second-hand designer handbag stores in Rome and Hongkong (these two cities have the most used designer handbag stores). None of them offered me a price more than $200!
The experts told me this Dior Gaucho bag is the typical IT bag. When it is hot, everyone will pay more to own it. When it is out, nobody wants it even if the price is much lower than before!
I don’t know even buying a purse needs some kind of business knowledge. If you buy a classic timeless bag, you can always resell it at a high price even if it is used. If yo buy a shooting-star-type purse, you will end up losing a lot of money if you resell it!
A guide in buying an authentic Dior bag:
1st, check the dust bag. Most fake bags look very authentic, but their dust bags are made of poor quality cloth! Also many people know what a real bag looks like because they can check it from department stores or boutiques, but they don’t know what a dust bag looks like. You won’t be shown the dust bag until you buy the bag.
2nd, credit card receipt! Nowadays some sellers can make fake boutique receipts with Dior / Chloe / Hermes / Louis Vuitton watermark on it! But they cannot fake a credit card receipt! Whenever you buy a real bag from stores you will get a store receipt and a credit card receipt. They usually will be linked by a staple.
In most cases it is the accessories that sellout themselves.
