An antique and vintage clothing lover from North Carolina auctioned off a 1920s Art Deco silk handbag from Cartier for $9,450 after purchasing the handbag for $1 online.
silk evening bag by Cartier, featuring a lapis lazuli, red enamel and single-cut diamond clasp — with Cartier imprinted on the clasp.
She made the decision in February 2023 to sell it online via the Rago Arts and Auction Center, which estimated the item could fetch between $3,000 and $4,000. She had the auction playing in a minimized window in the background — and she recorded her own reaction, which she later posted on TikTok, garnering over 13 million views.
Keeping the bag did cross her mind, West said, but she was always pretty confident that she wanted to sell it.
