Pre-owned handbags in shops onboard-were others aware?

You don't have to do slots to use OBC in the casino. We get promotional chips and play roulette. Any winnings are given back to you as real money chips. I stash those and play till I run out of promo chips. I always come away with at least SOME real money.

I was on The Millennium in March and visited the "What Goes Around" preloved boutique. The signage was very clear that this segment of the shops sold used merchandise. The LV bags looked quite new to me. The shop manager informed me that they were very lightly used, mostly for a single photo shoot or runway show. They had a beautiful Speedy model that I was very tempted to purchase but refrained, much to the relief of my husband. LOL! Here in Canada preloved designer bag pop-up shops happen quite often in our department stores. My two cents? The bags I saw on the ship were around the same price as what I could by used on land but in better condition. Of course, YMMV depending on the ship, inventory, etc. Happy cruising and shopping! 🙂 

I was told some of those bags were never even used and purchased as collectors items then sold. I will be on the Beyond in March then on a transatlantic in April so will be checking them out.

if you don't want the used stuff, BEYOND had a small men's shop on the  corridor going to  EDEN..small selection, big prices.  We browsed for wallets but thought the mark up was too high.  Wonder if the shop will survive?

update ..Jan 2023.. on ASCENT..same store..

 

Husb got the little leather card holder..expensive but I wanted him to have something as a treat..never buys for himself!

I got a LV purse and wallet last cruise with OBC.  They look like they were brand new.  You just don’t get the original storage bag with them.
