Rose First 2006 - Opinion??

equinox_12 · Jul 17th, 2008, 11:54 AM

Hello all,

I've just bought a Rose First 2006. My first light coloured B bag as the previous was from the 2004 brown family. It looks like it has lost a bit of colour and has turned beigey though it still has a lovely pink undertone. Any idea on how the colours can be restored?

also, I'm thinking the first is a little too small for me! I think i'll be going for a city from now on. When and what do you carry in your light coloured firsts?

Cheers all!! :)

If you are interested in getting the color restored, LovinMyBags (www.lovinmybags.com) does a fabulous job, and its owners are lovely to deal with (I have no association with them other than as a customer). Can you post a pic?

LMB would be able to restore it but if you think a First is too small(I think so too), maybe it is more wise to sell it instead?

I only have one light coloure fist (-04 marigold) and to be perfectly honest, I have not yet used it

.....but I use my black first when I go out, and intent to use my marigold the same way. I carry a CP, MU, keys and bits and bobs in my first

IF you're bold enough, you could restore it yourself for about $15. Check out the reference section, along with myself, a couple other PFers have self-restore bags.

One was the same color as yours.

Yes, I had a rose 2006 day. I restored my own bag.

Kathy: here is a photo...(taken by the lovely seller as i haven't taken my own yet so I hope she doesn't mind me using the photo!). it's really pretty and I love it to bits but with the crap English weather I'm afraid of taking it out!

PS: i have never restored my own bags but perhaps it is time to give it a go! :)

I think the bag posted looks great! The restoration process is very easy, thanks to dstar of course!!

If you checkout the reference library, there are three threads right now on self-restoration. Mine, dstars, and one more from cleocouture. Check 'em out! I totally vouch for it, it was too easy!
