Property of a Texas Lady.

Along with its sister bag, the "Carolyn", this "Raquel" bag is among the most expensive and coveted handbags Marc Jacobs has created. It was only available to a select few after being seen on the runway, requiring applicable customers to contact the company directly. Originally retailing for over $10,000, the "Raquel" bag sold out overnight.

In excellent condition, having original tag with a couple of spots of small wear at the bottom of the bag from storage and a tiny pen mark to one side, small damage to stitching of detachable ID tag, none of these things are obtrusive and all may be corrected by a professional.

$800 - 1,200
