Oh my....Style, you, Kat, murasaki, and all the other ladies with multiple Bbags are my role models!

I hope to add another bag soon. This thread is a wonderful reference for colors/styles/seasons...

Style - I admire your loyalty to your favorite style. Nothing to be ashamed of!

Until they were all lined up for this pic I didn't realize I went with red, white, and blue. It is pretty funny.

Since it's confession time, I'll admit that these aren't all of them - I do actually have some other City's and Hobos as well, but most are just duplicates of some of these colors, so for the purpose of documenting colors, these are quite enough, thanks.

P.S. I did the same thing with Chloe Paddys, some other Chloes and MJ's as well - I guess it's that I have such a hard time finding the perfect size and style that fits all of my criteria, that once I do, I stick with what works! But if anyone would like to have me committed, feel free - it's a little embarrassing.

For what it's worth, they're photographed to try to show comparison of colors where possible:

Photo 1: from left, clockwise: Sky Blue, Teal, Navy, Indigo
Photo 2: from left, clockwise: Cornflower, Ink, Emerald, Dolma Green
Photo 3: from left, clockwise: Lilac, Bordeaux, Marron, Turquoise
Photo 4: from left, clockwise: Caramel, Rouille, Chocolate

And please forgive the bad pics - they didn't really want to pose - they just plopped themselves down to show their colors.
I love all of them!!

This is the Rouille (Spring 2006) Twiggy, which is a rust, or reddish-orange. In real life it's a very burnt orange that can look brown or red depending on the lighting (almost like buying 2 bags for the price of one!)

I apologize for the huge pictures... I don't know how to resize them!
