At $610! Now I'm feeling crushed, especially seeing your collection, I so want to get my hands on the ivory shoulder bag or boston one. The color is so creamy, with the gold/white fabric beneath the interlocking Gs. I'm looking, but it's a hard, hard find now. BUT at least you have so many more lovely britts. It eases the pain, I bet.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. :)

Yeah I shouldn't have sold it for that low... but I was really discouraged because it was already the second time I had it listed, the first time nobody even bid on it. It's so frustrating with the Britt bags, because you can have a real one listed and then see a fake one getting all the bids. (This is happening to me again now!!!) There is a black shoulder bag listed that is almost to 300 already and it is fake, fake, fake. I reported it like 5 times and no one seems to be doing anything about fake bags right now. They use to take them down the day I report them, but lately (the past week or so) nothing has been done about ANY of the ones that I have reported. Very aggravating.

I'm regretting selling my boston very much now, though. That was stupid of me to sell it for so low... I paid over 610 for the dialux one!!!!! That really was a terrible decision to sell it.

And eturny, I know how you feel about the cream with the gold stripe! It's my favorite. I loved the boston but it was too big for me because I like to wear my bags on my shoulder, so I let that one go, but I LOOOOOOOOOVE my shoulder bag version. I will definitely keep my eye out for you and let you know if I ever see another one (but I will agree, they are practically impossible to find. The only reason I got mine was because the seller asked on here what the bag was called and I messaged her back right away telling her and saying how lucky she was to have that gorgeous thing, and she messaged me back saying she was actually asking because she was selling it for her sister... she emailed me as soon as she listed it and I looked it up through the item number before it even showed up in searches and bought it as buy it now HAHA. I was desperate!!!!!!!)

Aw, don't be sad. You have plenty more beautiful ones to comfort you. Still, I had had several bags I parted with because it only sat in my closet. And that's no good. But that's a funny story how you got your shoulder bag !! She probably didn't even have more than two people looking at the listing before it was gone. LOL.

BTW, I saw your new addiction with the black dialux bag. Really, you just have to make everyone envious, eh? But how you like it? There's one in white I'm eyeing. I'm leaning towards it because by the looks of it, I'm sure I can toss it around and not worry it'll be in bad condition.

Keep us posted with your purchases!!! I like to just admire. HAHA.

I didn't get the black dialux yet, I just won it last night and paid right away so I hope to be getting it soon.

I love love love the look of the white dialux bags, the only thing is that there's been incidents of the black lining coming through and showing up on the outside of the bag. I don't know how common this is or if it is worth being so paranoid about, but I just wanted to give you a heads up, so in case you get one and a mysterious black marking shows up you know what is going on haha. That's why I'm getting the black one.

Once I get it I will post tons of pics and modeling don't worry! I can't wait for it!

The black lining shows through the white? L o L, now that got me reconsidering, at least not in white. Ha.

Definitely show us pictures of the black once you get it. I really like nothing more than a pretty bag, but with the convenience of it being a shoulder, black, and "no-worry" bag. Haha. No better deal, huh?

I need to learn some of your hunting skills, because you hunt down these Britts so--seemingly--easily.

So are you heading to Woodbury? I know at San Marcos have some new bags, but yea, if you heading there, too... let us know of updates.

I was going to but I wanted to see if anyone was just there first (or if anyone is going there this weekend). My fiance has been driving to Pittsburgh and back (5 hour drive one way!!!!!!) this week and has to next week for interviews, and I would feel absolutely terrible letting him drive me all the way to woodbury and then ending up not liking anything.

Honestly most of my Britts I get stalking e bay. I did tons of research and became an expert on making sure Britts are authentic first, and ever since I've just been searching for "gucci britt" on eBay at least once a week hahaha. There are tons up right now. Some poor soul just spent 400 on a fake black leather hobo though... I messaged the buyer because I was so mad and wanted to let them know. I reported the fake bag to ebay like 5 times and they never took it down.

Actually the ONLY britt bag I have that ISN'T from eBay is the white dialux boston one, that I got from the Hawaii boutique on sale for 640.

I think the boston white dialux might have less of a chance getting black marks. I think it's probably mostly the hobo that is at risk, because there is no depth to the bag. I think maybe what happens is the items inside constantly rub against the sides and eventually the black dye from the lining rubs onto and stains the white canvas under the coating, showing through. That's my guess, anyway.
