Charity shop sold £564 Balenciaga handbag after owner forgot it in changing room
Zharkyn Ermekovna had tried on a coat and forgot to pick up the luxury Balenciaga bag she had bought at Harrods.
A CHARITY shop flogged a £564 handbag after its owner accidentally left it in a changing room.
Within an hour, RSPCA shop volunteers sold it for a fraction of its value.
The Spanish brand is a favourite of celebs such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Khloe Kardashian.
Zharkyn said: “You can’t sell something just like that, especially when it’s a designer product.
“I asked how it was sold full of items and they said it was empty and they would not look at the CCTV.
“It’s shocking. I don’t know what happened, I don’t know what the truth is.”
The mum of two, of East Finchley, North London, says she lost items including keys in the bag.
The RSPCA said it was believed to be empty.
The charity apologised for a “genuine mistake”, saying a customer took the bag to the counter and asked to buy it.
Police are investigating a reported theft.
