We all have those saved searches on eBay, patiently waiting and hoping for the notification about the piece that got away. Just before the end of the year, two of my most coveted pieces both appeared on eBay and Vestiaire Collective, and I was faced with a bit of a dilemma. I\u2019d been searching for these pieces for years, and I knew that if I didn\u2019t pounce now it\u2019d be unlikely I\u2019d see either of them again for a long, long time. But buying both, and just before Christmas, was just not going to happen.<\/p>\n

I decided on the sensible choice, and chose to treat myself to the Helmut Lang coat of my dreams. I really did need a new coat anyway, and as soon as it arrived I knew I\u2019d made the right choice. When you\u2019ve coveted something for years, it can sometimes be a little disappointing in person, but this was even more perfect. Simple, with a little edge and beautifully cut, it\u2019s effortless in the best possible way. Not to mention how warm and cosy it\u2019s been on these bitter winter days. I forgot how much I missed having a proper coat. <\/p>\n

The Christopher Raeburn \u2018hare\u2019 bag was obviously not the sensible choice. But I couldn\u2019t help but want it, even though I knew it was a silly purchase. When I found that it was still sitting on eBay in the new year, almost as if it was waiting for me, I took it as a sign. Ok, maybe just an excuse. I know it\u2019s not going to get anywhere near as much use as the coat, but I think sometimes fashion has to be about those fun pieces, and there\u2019s a kind of power in something that makes you smile every time you take it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
