Hi everyone!

I just spent some time looking at bags on Vestiaire for the first time in years and I am beyond shocked! I knew the prices rose, so I expected that but I never knew the Classic flaps would cost more then a Kelly for exempe. Since when? I am so disappointed. Not to mention that it's borderline impossible to find a non-vintage classic flap where the gold didn't already rub off the hardware in places. The ones where the hardware is intact clearly haven't even been used before.

How do you feel about this? Are we stuck buying only vintage at this point? Does anyone have in-person experience with newer bags? (By new I mean from the last 5 years) are they improving the quality at least?
