Talk about an obsession!

My first RM aquisition was on the last days of 2008 and the last one was over the OSS weekend towards the end of June.

I told myself that I would take pictures of everything once I got my latest bag and this just confirms my OCD which scares me sometimes.

Anyway, here is the whole lot of it in my cupboard, I told myself that once it fills up, I need to get rid of some to make space.

Dude, you are my hero!

BRING ON THE PICS!!!!!

milodino · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:29 AM

I took them all out of their dustbags for the photo shoot but could not be bothered to do a Minkie pile because I've got them all stuffed with a cushion insert which is a pain to remove and re-stuff.

Here are all my Minkie babies!

Yeah - this hero scares herself sometimes!

It's only on TPF that I can show all this off - my friends and family would never understand

My mattie babies from top to bottom: GE, DG & Jade

milodino · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:34 AM

My Nikki babies clockwise from the top: Navy Luxe, Brown Wicker, Seagreen, Rose, FIG

milodino · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:37 AM

My MABs, clockwise from the upper right: Elephant, GE, Wine, Emerald, Yellow/Silver, Charcoal Patent, Lapis

Sorry for the bad picture - I need more stable hands for picture taking.

milodino · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:41 AM

There also a Midnight/Pewter MAM and DG MAC which I didn't take close-up shots of.

Over the madness of the OSs weekend, I discovered this rare beauty and promptly bought it even though I had already gotten the Lapis MAB in the OSS.

knasarae · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:46 AM

I can't take it

No actually I can, keep going!

MAGJES · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:47 AM

Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous.....

LOVE the RB BW!!!

The original handles had darkened significantly and I PMed Desi for advice on getting it fixed. She was very helpful and so I sent the bag to RM.

The NY seller was very sweet and she dropped it off at RM's offices in NYC.

I got it shipped to me a month ago and only had time to do this post and reveal now.

The turnaround time for the handle change was about 3 weeks so pretty prompt. Sarah was very helpful despite the OSS madness and her going on leave thereafter.

The new handles are very obviously a different color from the trim. I hadn't really considered that since I was so focused on the significantly darkened handles.

I guess I won't protect the handles with LMB's FHO like I do my other bags so that this one can warm a little (just a tad) so that it's not so starkly different from the trim.

Great collection, milodino! I'm right there with ya, sister. I started collecting in the Fall as well and my collection is about the size of yours, but replace your MABs with MNs and your Nikkis with MAMs. I also have a few more MACs and no Mattys. Scary to think about getting that many bags in that short a period, huh? I was never even into bags before. Funny how things can change.

I especially love your RBBW with the blue tassels. Stunning!

milodino · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:49 AM

I don't know if it's an original Royal BBW or a re-cut. It's got candy cane lining and blue tassels.

This is how it compares with the Lapis. Is it a re-cut?

MissFluffyCat · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:50 AM

Those MABs are breathtaking. I don't know how you can bear to put them back in their dustbags! I want to roll in them....

milodino · Sep 9th, 2009, 08:53 AM

Oohh... forgot the BBW trio.

I'm still waiting for the BBW MAB SO to arrive in October but I was so impatient I bought a re-cut to quell the urgency of having one. Yes, OCD strikes again!

My BBW babies from top to bottom: Royal BBW, PW BBW, BBW
