Louis Vuitton bag still available at Vinnies Wagga for first person on waiting list

The luxury piece was found among other donations at Wagga Vinnies two weeks ago, and after checking the serial number, staff determined it was genuine and valued at more than $2000.

It was for sale at the op shop for $500.

After a week in the window display, the bag was snapped up by a savvy shopper, but was returned a few days later for a full refund.

Now, staff are trying to get in contact with the next person in line to purchase the bag.
