All About My Alexander Wang
All handbag enthusiasts; please stand up! I have had a handbag obsession since my mid-teens. I still remember when I got my first Coach bag….ahh memories. It was on my bucket list to purchase a “big girl handbag” when I graduated college..and this was that purchase.

Gosh, isn’t he just a dream? I purchased my Alexander Wang Rockie pre-loved. I felt that was the right thing to do since Christopher and I were planning on getting engaged around the same time.
Purchasing pre-loved items can be tricky. My best advice is to know exactly what you want and don’t except anything less. You aren’t getting something brand spanking new nine times out of ten. There are dozens of apps or websites you can use to find pre-loved designer items from. I personally use Poshmark. I looked for several weeks for my purse. There were Rocco’s and Rockie’s for 400 or 500 with six or seven of the studs missing on the bottom or with arms straps not included and I just wasn’t going to settle for that. I was patient with my search because I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Then I finally found the purse above. The seller made the whole entire purchasing experience a breeze and a great experience. If you plan on purchasing something this expensive and you are having trouble with your seller..run. Run far away and don’t ever look back. The reddest of flags, honey. If you don’t feel safe or comfortable with your seller, don’t give them your money. Move on and find someone else to purchase from, there are other people. That mindset is what got my through the entire process. My seller (Marilyn) and I traded emails and talked for several days about every aspect of the bag and ultimately gave me an amazing deal on the bag…$550 :D Such a great deal for this baby! She gave me a few days to pay off my portion of my rent and to finish my finals for me to pay her (which was the sweetest thing ever). I had such an amazing experience purchasing this bag.
