I wanted to repost the dolma with an outside pic. The lighting last night wasn't great.

This year I started my Bal collection obsession and have enjoyed sharing and learning from all of you in this Forum. Here are three more additions to close out 2023.

One of these came from the home of a very kind TPFer. I‘m grateful that our paths have crossed and that we were able to keep this one in the Bal TPF Family.

2003 Blue Jean First - Mint and still has the Barney’s tag attached in the inside!

2004 Grey Twiggy - My first Twiggy (definitely not my last) and the leather is so wonderfully supple and soft to touch. Tried to capture the unique edging color that makes this one extra special. I’ll be giving her a spa day soon and hope to add more 04 Grey to my closet in the future.

Wanted to clean and condition these first but I am too lazy. At least I finally snapped some photos. Thank you to @earswithfeet and @muchstuff!

Looks like the same chevre as the other eggplant bags to me.

I haven't yet taken it out for a spin but will report back when I do.

This is worth some digging which I will do, because the leather is not the same as 04 eggplant. I’ll see what i can find.

No? I thought it looked the same but not used much.

My lune had stiffer smooth leather not similar to moto bags at all.

The leather is thick and differently textured. It’s not the silky soft leather of eggplant, more the full bodied leather of a structured bag. I don’t know what it is though. it could be the same eggplant dye though I thought the color wasn’t as deep as eggplant on my moto bags. It is a super yummy gorgeous color regardless.

I did a bit of reading and found references to a violet Lune but they said the colour was darker than eggplant.
