^^ ITA, the Reds are so so perfect! And BH, I'd kill for a mint Eggplant Twiggy. The longer handles on the older Twiggy's really speak to me since I hate the way the Twig looks carried by the strap.

It's longer handles or not at all!

Thanks for the compliment, I actually have only a semi-decent camera so it must be the lighting that makes the pics turn out okay.

Rere, I cannot stand this!!! You have to stop showing us the absolutely gorgeous bags you have! I want EVERYTHING!!

Surprisingly even the newer twiggies fit over the shoulder pretty comfortably. And I'm not that small. I find them much easier to wear on the shoulder than the city.

Not sure if you'd count rouille as red but my 06 rouille courier has certainly faded a little. Not too badly but I notice it. Sadly.

Rere, your twiggy is just so so beautiful — love it.

MichK · May 6th, 2009, 05:51 AM

Yeah, I do, too. But I agree with Rere that the older Twiggys do have slightly longer handles that fit slightly better over the shoulder.

Thank you dear drati.

Regarding the handles of the Twiggy, its strange. I have bigger arms (not huge/huge), and I can not fit the newer Twiggy's on my arms/shoulder. I much prefer the older Twiggies.

I'm about 5'3" and 130 lbs, with arms the size of the moon in comparison to the rest of me, lol.

We must be very similar in size, Mich!

hi drati! i actually don't consider rouille a red color so much, i've always thought of it as a rust / burnt orange color. i also have an 06 rouille day and it's gotten plenty of use and certain spots have faded a little (and lighter than the mirror, which is always how you tell if the color on the bag has changed). but i still love it to death b/c the leather has this great texture.

I think we are

I can't get over the fact that there are so many modelling pics of these gorgeous ladies, with fabulously slim arms, slinging their Cities and Twiggies so easily over their shoulders! The newer Twiggies can fit on my shoulder (probably because the top of the bag is softer) but it's still snug, and the City is just impossible. I feel as though my blood circulation is being cut off.

So, congrats again on a gorgeous Twiggy - with LONGER handles - Rere

Yes, I adore my courier too, despite the fading. The mirror is always a good way to tell, or the leather patch inside the pocket. In my case the front of the bag also looks lighter than the back of it. I love the depth of the original colour.

^ Just came to drool over your Twiggy again Rere

I have a MU in this color, which is just a taste of this yummy color + leather combo. I want more! (earnestly saving up for my PH Bal)

Just received from Corey this morning! Brand new with tags Bordeaux Shoulder bag from 2005! The bordeaux leather has a fantastic texture and deep color - it's the perfect neutral "going out" bag. Short strap with just enough clearance for a coat, but still looks delicate and feminine.

I can't wait to try her out tomorrow night!!!

delmilano · May 16th, 2009, 02:55 AM

RERE your true red is awesome. you've a bunch of yummy oldies in your collection.

ehemelay · May 23rd, 2009, 11:04 PM

06 F/W Sapin Mini Bowling

This is in even better condition than described. I love it!! The deep, neutral green is even more beautiful in person. It holds more than you would guess at first glance, and the handles have enough clearance to fit over my shoulder easily. I think by the time winter rolls around, it will fit over a coat also.
