Hi everyone welcome back to my youtube channel if you're brand new welcome
I'm super glad to have you here
Today's video is going to be an unboxing and some of you are expecting this because I have talked about it
And I think two different videos one on my pink bags because it is a pink bag
And I will be curious if this changes your mind if you voted in that video and then also
In my luxury wishlist video because it is a luxury item that was on my wish list and so I'm super excited to have it
So I bought this bag from Tradesy, so I will unbox it show it to you
And then also talked about the tradesy buying process
And I may even insert some modeling shots if I can get some, so let's go ahead and get started
Okay, so this is the box from the back as you can see it's a little bit dirty
So I'm trying to not really hold it against me too much, but that's not tradesy's fault. That's obviously
USPS so it comes in one of these bags that just opens nicely which is convenient
When you sell something to tradesy. You can ask for a tradesy kit, which costs a little bit more money for your
Buyer, but you get one of these nice bags, and then a tradesy box so and assuming that is what this is in
Yes so Tradesy box
All right the nice box opens that way
and then
Tissue paper we wanted to quickly say that this is actually the second time. I'm unboxing this
I did buy this directly from a seller on tradesy
So she happened to have already had it authenticated through authenticate first and included that certificate
But tradesy does offer for you to get something
authenticated through them you have to receive the item and then open up a return saying you're unsure about
Authenticity in order to send it to them I'll explain that a little bit later in the process
But I have seen this bag before this is just coming directly from tradesy after
They said it was authentic so this is their unboxing which is gonna look different than when I just got it from a seller
So I'll opening the tissue paper
Okay, so they have put it in some tissue paper, and then in bubble wrap can you see what it is?
So I'm excited to have this back, I didn't actually use it
I just kind of sent it away right away to get it authenticated and so super excited to have it
But it is the Louie Vuitton Alma bb in the Rose ballerine EPI leather
Which is exactly the bag that I was looking for if you've been with my channel for a long time
I have tried on this bag at least once on this channel in the city
But I have really liked it for a few years, so I'm super excited to have it in my collection
I think I'm gonna take off the clochette graceandherhandbag
Just got the Alma BB in the damier ebene print she took this off
I think that's smart because it just doesn't really lay on there well
And it's just kind of annoying so I may take off the lock like she did as well
But it has the Louis Vuitton in the corner and then the person
I originally bought it from was a seller called vintage luxe which is an NYC
fashion revival and
It's one of the most reputable resale consignments in the u.s.
our company operates the tradesy closet vintage luxe
Which has been among top-five pro sellers on tradesy would guarantee authenticity with full money-back assistance
So I was already feeling pretty confident, but again getting it double-checked by tradsy. It was a nice feature
So it also has the lock
And then if I open it up my
Strap should be in there as I sent it to them in there. Yep, so here is the long strap and then the interior
So the interior has a few small scratch marks, but otherwise it is in great condition. It has the slit pocket right here
And then that's pretty much it, but I am really excited about it
So I think I will take off the tags now and the clochette and the key
The only real wear on it because it's in really good shape there's a couple very minor scratches
along the bottom and
Really hardly any wear on the actual base and on the feet
But the only thing that I have noticed is that there's a little bit of discoloration right here. It's very light
I'm not sure if the camera will pick it up or not
That's really the only where and I?
May try to clean it
I wanted to make sure that it was real before I messed with it of course and so
You know I may I may go ahead and try clean that and they said there was a little bit of wear on the handles
but it's very very minimal if there is anything so I
Did spend a good amount on this bag? It is one of them?
Pricier bags in my collection, but I knew that it was a really good deal for this bag
And I've been looking for it for so long plus
I had some trade see money, so I have sold many things on tradesy
And I never actually put that into my bank account
I just use it for a larger purchases on transy
So that is always a really nice thing to do I guess then so I had I had the money for it
It was a really good deal, and I've been wanting it for a long time
so I'm super excited to have it in my collection so
here is an unboxing of this beautiful beauty right here, and I just
I'm loving it. I'm super excited about it, so I wanted to tell you a little bit about my tradesy
Experience so I have been buying and selling on Tradesy for a while
And I may do a video comparing it with Poshmark and eBay
And maybe even therealreal though that might be a different video
I'll sort of see how I want to do all of that, but if you have specific questions
You'd like me to address in those videos or if there are certain sites
You'd like me to compare we do some sites on their own video. Just let me know about that but basically so I
Looked through tradesy for a long time
I have a save search and I check it every day, so I've been looking for this bag for a long time
I finally found it in the color that I wanted and Tradesy was having a sale, so I waited until tradesy
He had the sale and basically the sale meant at no cost to the seller tradesy had a coupon discount for a certain number of dollars off depending on how much you spent so something like
25 dollars off 250 dollars $50 off $100
$100 off 1000 dollars that sort of thing it was that sort of thing and so I was able to get this with a
Good chunk
Discounted on it which was really really nice
and
I was also
able to
Do that at no cost to the sellers the seller was pleased this bag was actually already on sale in their closet as a seller
You can mark if you're ok with tradesy discounting your items during their sales, and so they can be discounted 5% 10% 15%
Those happen frequently throughout, but getting that tradesy coupon on top of it was another extra step
So the 5 10 15 % is something that the seller loses when they go to sell it this was already on
I think 10 maybe even 15 percent off plus
Then because Tradesy was running that sort of 1-day coupon sale I got an extra big chunk off of that
So I really got this for
significantly less than the
Seller was planning on originally selling it for but they still got a good deal because they didn't lose that chunk of money Tradesy took
That hit so the bag got to me after a couple days. I looked it over
It looks exactly the same as it does now all was good
But I wanted to take advantage of tradesys return policy
Which as I said before?
You just open up a claim that you're not sure if the item is authentic tradesy provides you a free shipping label to send it
To them so that they can authenticate it in person they go through a ton of different steps, and then if they determine
It's authentic and they send it back to you or they give you site credit for it
So you can return an item for any reason on tradesy and get site credit for it as long as the item cost more
Than $50 but in this case for authenticity
If it had turned out to not be authentic
Tradesy would have taken the money away from the seller whereas if I just returned it because I didn't like it
Then I would get site credit and trades II would resell that item tradesy
does that all the time which is a really wonderful thing. They have a beautiful closet of luxury goods that they are willing to
Resell, which is really really nice and so?
Basically, what happened was it did turn out to be authentic so they gave me the site credit
But then said you can also request for us to send it back which I've done this before so I knew that's what was gonna
Happen I requested to have it sent back to me, and then you know
I lost that's a credit that they had just refunded me so here
I am with my new bag the whole process did take a while now I
Will say that some of that is USPS's faults the first time it came to me
It was actually marked as like an alert
It didn't I didn't ever update that it had been delivered even though I'd signed for it
And so I couldn't request the return from tradesy for a few days
Until that got settled because on their end it didn't say it had been delivered
And you have up to four days after it's delivered to request a return
So I was already a little bit behind the game in terms of timing with that
But then I sent it to them
They get up to a week which I think is about I don't think they took quite that long
Maybe four days to authenticate it after it gets sent to them
And then they send it back to me so that whole process did take about
Three weeks again with maybe a week of error based on
USPS and then and then me actually getting back to the post office to send it back to them so of course that process is
Longer than other places with Poshmark if it's over $500
You just send it straight to the Poshmark headquarters or the seller sends it straight to the Poshmark headquarters
they check it out before they send it to you so that process usually takes a
Week a week and a half
So this was significantly longer than that and then of course if you buy from places like fashion file the real world
It's been authenticated before it's even listed so they just send it to you right away
So it only takes a couple days so obviously the timing it takes a little bit longer
but because I had the trade see money because I
Trust the site, and I was excited and because I found it for such a good deal on there
I was super happy to buy it through trades. II thank you so much for watching
I hope that that answered any you might have and you got to see a reveal of my new bag
I will use it for a while before I put up any kind of review, but there are so many reviews out there
I don't know
That that will be necessary if this did change your mind on the pink bags that I should keep in my collection

Thank you for watching. Hope that that gave you a some information about trade see that you can find something beautiful
There as well, and I do have a coupon code
listed down or promo code listed down in my
Description box along with a bunch of other referral codes that gets you $20 off your first $50 purchase
