Hello,

Has anyone been lucky enough to pick up an authentic bag at a garage sale? I keep looking and missed one the other day that my friend found before I got there! It was an LV Speedy! Of all the luck!

Yes but was it real? I see a lot of fakes at sales.

It's hard to be sure. I don't go to garge sales, but I do look at stuff from estate sales on eBay and even the wealthy owners have fake designer items. You have to be very careful.

I think it's wise to save up and buy directly from the store.

I don't garage sale very much.I hit the Goodwill stores and find some very nice bags.I have an authentic Fossil drawstring bag and a Liz Claiborne patent leather bag.

And yes my Fossil bag is authentic.

It's funny that I wrote about my friend finding that handbag. I found a Kate Spade at a garage sale this last weekend!
