Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop (highest price point for this aesthetic), Poshmark, or Mercari. These platforms cater well to the vintage Coach collector market
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Baguette', 'Coquette', and 'Barbiecore'. Stuff the bag with tissue paper for photos to show the pleated shape. Clean the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap before listing to make the champagne sateen pop
