A Lucky reader inspires an eBay search!

I was perusing Emily's travel post from a few days ago (and spacing out over whether or not my thighs are too jiggly for a T-shirt dress), when I came across an astute comment by a reader named Zingyginger. Turns out, for myriad reasons, this reader loves to travel with Longchamp's large foldable tote, which is precisely the bag I've been wanting for about two years but kept forgetting the name. I suspected this is the ideal kind of item to search for on eBay.

And, boy, was I right: There are more than 500 Longchamp bags on eBay today, including versions in red, tan, navy, and black, all at a fraction of the original cost.
