Never Give Up on Second Hand Stores!

Yesterday I found The Row’s Sidekick Shoulder Bag at a thrift store in NYC. I spent a good 30 mins inspecting it (I have experience from working in the buy/sell/trade world) and I am 95% sure it’s the real deal. My only qualm is knowing that many fakes of this brand exist, but I also doubt that this specific style has been knocked off. The woman working at L Train Vintage was looking at me so sideways as I turned it inside out and examined everything very closely. I shouldn’t share specifics on why, per the rules, but it has the correct hardware from Italy, luxurious leather and perfect stitching! I am over the moon about this because I only spent $40 on a ~3k bag!!! and on top of that, it’s ideal for me right now- I’d been wanting a bigger everyday bag and brown is my preferred colour 🤎 there’s a bit of makeup spilled on the bottom of it, luckily it’s only on the outside so I can get that cleaned off! The interior is flawless!! Just wanted to share with people who care!!! lol
