LV Mahina for sale

I have a LV Mahina in white for sale. Since the purchase of the Birkin Bag (see below) I have decided to sell my Mahina.

Used only twice, this bag is in great condition. Supersized, so cool, so this year and the trend for oversized bags looks set to stay.

I haven't listed details because if you want the Mahina you probably already know about it, if you don't then you probably don't really want one.

Payment via paypal, or I can list on ebay so you feel safer buying.

Looking for 200 GBP /apx 400 USD as this is not an original, they were so hard to get hard of if you didn't have friends in the right places, but this is the next best thing!
As a big fan of handbags and purses my budget doesn't always stretch to allow me to purchase all of the fab bags that I so badly want.

One of the newest on my wish list is a Hermes Birkin bag, although they have been around for a while now I was never really that into them before, but I saw one the other day in a dark brown crocodile skin finish, it was to die for. Maybe I am growing up because this really is a clean cut and simple bag, no fancy bits just a good sturdy prcatical bag but I love it. However I didn't love the price tag!

After a little cruising around on the dear old internet I have since found another Birkin Bag (not an orignal) and two things about that made me smile....the first was the price tag ( alot lot les than the real one) and second was the fact it was mock croc. So now I can be fashionable and animal friendly.

My reserve didn't last long and since it was less than 500 bucks I thought I may as well see what it was like (if it was real awful I could always pass it on to my aunt..hehe) anyway I was pleasantly surprised.

It arrived within a week, well packaged with all the extras you would expect (dust bag, care cards etc) and it is a great bag. No-one would know the difference.

So I tought I would share with you this amazing find.

An accidental purchase of a FENDI SPY BAG

Ooohhh...it all sounds so 007 doesn't it. But this bag is truly fun, secret pockets and purses all over the place!

It was going back in Jan 07 when I saw a white bag that was just that bit differnet from all the others , and yes to be honest it was all these hidey holes that attracted me, but also the chunky handles and simple detailing. In effect it looked liked a bag with class and one that didn't have a designer name plastered all over it. Anyway, I brought it and loved it and used it lots.

It was only recently when I really started getting into my bags (far to much time on my hands and unfortunately not enough money to truly indulge in this passion) that I discovered this was a FENDI SPY BAG, well a replica at least.

Did it put me off, well no, I never bought it as a designger bag, simply loved it for what it was a great style and fun yet practical. And I still love it.

Would I buy a real FENDI? Yes if I had the money spare but honestly this bag is well made and has lasted more than a year and still looks good.

AShley Simpson and Gwen Steffani have are just a few fans of this bag, but not many were made making them extremely difficult to find.

PS-I'm convinced the handles are another hidey place (you could really fit a lot of things in them) but alas I have not found any secret opening yet!

PPS- A replica FENDI SPY BAG will set you back about 150-300 USD.

Miu Miu Harlequin Leather Tote


The new Miu Miu Harlequin Leather Tote looks set to take take centre stage! It comes straight from the "life is a theatre" campaign, fronted by hip Kirsten Dunst and the theatre theme transforms beautifully on to this bag.

The rich colour scheme and beautiful soft leather ensure that this is the glammest patchwork bag in the fashion world! Fans already include the always superbly dressed Victoria Beckham

An oversize bag, as is currently the trend, make this an ideal bag for both evening or day time wear. Thick braided handles balance with the heftimess of the bag and of course there is plenty of room insdie for all the essentiilas.

But what do you think, is it to unique?

Louis Vuitton Mahina XL


The Louis Vuitton Mahina XL , what a bag. Many adore it and simply can not wait for it to adorn their arm but many people immensely dislike it. Personally I love it. Some will say it’s to big, some to expensive and for others the LV logo is off putting BUT this is a bag that has been expertly crafted with the finest materials and it falls into a beautiful shape. Is it worth the price tag? Well considering it retails at nearly £2000 it is probably to expensive for most, however the newest edition a blue or black denim is slightly less offensive to your pocket!

I decided that his time I wasn’t going to stump up such a huge amount for a bag that may only be in fashion for a short while ( because of the size, you know) and I found a really great replica for just £190. None of my friends have been able to see its a replica and I have money in my pocket still so I’ll be able to buy another great bag.

What do you think of replicas? Some more reviews at the link below.
