Ebay Watch: Large pastel green Luella bag

ebay-luella.jpgDefinitely one to add to your Ebay watch list, this large, pastel green bag by Luella is one of a dying breed of bags by the credit crunched designer. It's a classic style that will work particularly well during the summer in this shade, and judging by the close-up photograph, still seems to have all of its crucial appendages intact.

So far, the bag hasn't attracted too much in the way of Ebay love, and is currently sitting on a bid of just £27. There are 4 more days to go yet, but I suspect this will go for a reasonable price.

See the advert here.

Ebay Watch: Orla Kiely car print wallet

orla-car-wallet.jpgSure, this purse is 'different'. But it caught my eye while I was amusing myself browsing Orla Kiely goodies on Ebay this weekend. I really admire Kiely's bold use of colour, and it's this sort of item that makes her work so unmistakable.

I wouldn't buy this wallet myself, as I don't drive and would soon become sick of people asking me why I've got cars on my purse when I don't own one. But I do think it's a neat design, which is why I'm throwing it out to potential bidders here! I particularly love the little travel-pass window in the back:

Luella for less on Ebay: tan 'Joni' bag

luella-ebay.jpgLuella may have stopped putting new styles out there (for now), and there's eye-wateringly little left on her sale pages that hasn't sold out. But there's a thriving market for Luella on Ebay, and it's well worth bookmarking the search term if you're hoping to bag a Luella in the near future.

This fabulously hippie-chic looking 'Joni' bag from a previous collection is absolutely ideal for spring/summer '10, with its bohemian looking shape and studded embellishments. At time of writing, it's not had a single bid, which really surprises me and I'm tempted to be the first to name a price! That figure is currently set at £160.

Bag Lady Chat: Handbags on Ebay

anya-eba.jpgIt's the time of year when popular styles begin to sell out, and the seriously driven shopper is forced on to the retail minefield that is Ebay. Like many such desperados, I went on for a look earlier today, more in last-chance-saloon mode than with any hope of finding a bargain...

This is at least in part because I've never had a great deal of luck finding designer bags on Ebay: the shoppers are too savvy for many real bargains to get through, and there's always the threat of copies and replicas being passed off as the real deal. But it's always great when you do stumble across a genuine seller with a nice bit of arm candy on offer: this 'brand new with tags' Anya Hindmarch clutch, for example, is still yet to attract any bids, and at time of writing, showing as £14.99. It may yet become the bounty in a bidding-war. But I like to think that some lucky soul might bag it at a fair price before any such nastiness takes place.

So how about you, dear reader. Have your experiences of bag-shopping on Ebay mostly been good or bad?

Jimmy Choo for H&M handbag hits eBay (naughty!)

jimmychoo_hm_leatherhandbag.jpgWe have only just finished giving you a sneak peek of the bags from the forthcoming Jimmy Choo for H&M collection and already a piece has hit eBay... um, what the?

I'm sure the folks over at Jimmy Choo and H&M would be none-to-pleased to hear that one of their black leather bags has popped up on the online auction site, especially considering the range isn't even for sale in-stores yet... naughty, naughty!

Whoever the cheeky seller was, they started the bidding at £40 before the auction ended. Whether it registered no bids (unlikely) or the seller was told to take it down is unknown.

Ebay watch: Roebuck Bettie Page purses

bettie-page-purse.jpgA few years ago I had one of these Bettie Page purses by Roebuck, and I loved it. Unfortunately it was stolen along with all the contents of a beloved bag *sniff*, and I've been trying with little success to find a replacement ever since.

I was quite pleased then, when I found that there's an ample supply of these and other Roebuck accessories on Ebay, with this one coming in at just £1.99. If you're a Roebuck lover like me and also lust after their bucket bags, polka-dot purses and badges, you'll find even more of their goodies here.

Who Are They Kidding?! - Fake Fendi B Bag

Fendi_1

Now, I imagine there's a good few reasons why this 'Fendi B Bag' is going for just $24.95. Firstly...Err...It is so blatantly fake! And, err...Is it even real leather?! The sad thing is that someone has already bid on it. Tsk, tsk.
