I am 20 (21 in 2 weeks), and grew up very upper middle class. Now I am in the midst of my 3rd year of undergraduate, with hopes of being done May 2009 (currently abroad in France). My parents are sensible, smart, loving people, but they already went through expensive child #1 (my brother, age 31), so they are very ready for me to be out of school, supporting myself...which I understand and agree with, since they are getting up in age...(ie ready to retire) - all of which means that I pay for my love of all things leather on my own (sorry for the long explan).

I got into Prada and Louis Vuitton about 3 years ago, always picking the non-trendy, classic items over the logo-ed stuff...and recently have resorted to saving up as much money as possible to get one big thing (LV SS07 Bequia Trotter last summer, if you are familiar) instead of 3 or 4 smaller things.

I feel like Hermes is the ultimate in leather goods (why else would I be here?), so of course, I have been saving. But, as per usual (within this thread), with price increases and the astronomical pricing (to begin with) of men's bags, I am forced into either H canvas/leather bags (buenaventura), or lower priced non-H leather bags (which I am now seriously considering...Prada).

In the end, I would love to collect exotic skin things. I saw a beautiful Globetrotter GM Zip agenda in natural lizard in Paris last weekend - 1400 euro (about $2100), and of course, anything croc would be fab. I also really love barenia...

I suppose my "wish list" might include the Victoria II in any color, a Kelly Depeche in any color, or a Steve messenger in Etoupe (something like 4300 euro in Bordeaux a couple of weeks ago!)...

Someday, once I have graduated, and I have thrown myself to the mercy of the job gods, I will have my salaried paycheck and will be ready to take the plunge. But, as some of my friends have pointed out, I am only 20...I should pace myself

(ps again i apologize for the length)

wow...i though most of women in the here.
nice to meet you....i'm Daryl,and you?
my english is not good,but i will do best for my friends.

Definitely! I'm actually thinking already of an agenda or the Ulysse notebook, maybe the Wall Street tie, and hopefully something for our home... Can't wait!

_bella_ - Everyone on tPF loves lfg's new bag. I was referring to people she has said would criticize her for buying it.

Well, my Violet GM Karo arrived today.

DH knew I was so excited, he even volunteered to pick her up for me. Was a little nervous that after waiting so long (2 months) and almost giving up, that I wouldn't like it, but I

it. At last I have reached Karo Nivana. It's taken me a while to get my rainbow legs and along the way there was a PM Black Karo, a PM Noisette, and a GM Blue Thalassa. Thank goodness H gives you ten days to do a return and eBay resellers are always looking for good H items.

So without further blah, blah, blah I want to present my Violet GM and Orange PM for a summer/spring rainbow and my Rouge H GM and Bleu Brighton PM for a fall/winter rainbow.

BlueGenes · Jul 19th, 2008, 01:34 AM

omg, valencia, these are gorgeous!!! i love that you have fall/spring colors! congratulations on finally getting your violet karo! i love these colors....

i don't know what i would use the karos for, otherwise i'd convince myself to buy them... i just have one pm griolet karo and that fits all my daily makeup necessities. what do you use them for?
