I’M sorry to say it’s not the real thing, rather a cheap and nasty, Made-In-China woven replica of those gorgeous tapestry purses women used to swan about with. Still, it will add a little drama to an outfit. I paid $4 at the Salvos. The Sallies have pretty standard pricing for their pieces now – it was all over the shop for a bit there. I do scan for the tagged specials though. The Salvos pick a colour and there can be significant reductions on items tagged with that colour – a code, I am told, to indicate how long some stock has been around.
