Well, I am sure to say it's still in MIND condition. According to my definition of mint. Hehe! I just don't know why every time I buy a used bag, I hear rants from my mother. Once I bought a bag which was used once and she was telling me, "That's so old, return it?" Then sometimes if I get a new one she's like "Is there something more cheaper than that? Look for pre-loved ones on eBay..." I mean, hello?

Sigh.. The Sage is so pretty. Should I not sell it? She wouldn't even let me pay for it as she said I was just wasting money. I really should sell it and all that. Although, I have $300 to pay her and the rest when I have extra money.

:-( I'm so sorry you're going to have to let the SAGE go micah...

but... let's look at the bright side: at least you'll have a wine nikki on the way for you.

by the way, I have to agree with the rest of the girls... you take incredible pictures! do you use a regular point and shoot digicam?

Yes, I'm so sad right now Dee. I'm actually thinking of not buying a Wine Nikki for now. I want to snag something at the RM sale at the end of the month. Also, I want the old HW wine nikki. More bags will come my way, this is not the first and definitely not the last RM. I'm have a positive thinking.

Oh yes, I just use a regular point and shoot digicam. I use a Canon SD1000. I never I thought I have photography skills though BUT thanks! I actually am flattered to know that!

Ladies, sometimes I think of pulling out my list. I really want this bag but I cannot dictate my mom so when I was staring at it, I decided to take more pictures.

These pictures might help for future references. I think I have captured its color beautifully.












I'm gonna miss her but there's always an option to sneak it. I can tell her I already sold it and give her the money right? LOL! Help you girls!

I like your last option!
LOL!!!! I always tell my mummy that I sold a bag off and a while later when I use I just go "not this bag mom! I sold another one!"
I don't let her know most of my money is spent on handbags, however it's quite obvious it is because I spend my money on either clothes, handbags, or food. LOL. & shoes!
Gosh I'm a girly girl.

Micah!
Let us know if you decide to "sneak it"
LOL, it's definetly a beauty!

To mom: I'm really SORRY. I think I'll keep it whether you like it or not. Just this once...

Hahaha! I will wait for a couple more days. If I have a sale, then so be it. If it doesn't, then it's meant to be mine! You know, I'm starting to wonder why m y Sage looks REALLY Grey and the rest I see on this sub is GREEN. I must be lucky!

The last option sounds like the way to go. It sounds like you love this bag (and who can blame you? ) and I think you'll be sad once you let it go. Sage is HTF as an older color and the leather is amazing. So long story short, I think you should keep it. By the way, I love your collection. I really want that Bow bag but the quality issues keep me away.

If I get busted I'd totally tell mom "Don't blame me. Blame TPF and Annaversary!" Hahaha! You totally made me jump in the RM bandwagon.

Get yours now! I love mom more than my Sage BUT I just can't give up my Sage MAB.

I know, right? It's HTF and I totally got a deal! I really think I should keep it. You are right. It's not like it's my first time to lie. I'm just not a good one. LOL!

Thanks, novella! I'm starting from scratch to build up a perfect-to-me collection. I love the Bow bag so much I don't even care of its imperfections! Hahaha! I'm all over that bag but it is on her way to me! I really keep my fingers crossed. I've been through a lot on this one. I am actually waiting for my purchase for a MONTH now BUT it's totally worth it.

Or you could just tell her that it's new after all, and that you had mistaken it for used.
It seems that your mom enjoys the control she has over you and makes certain you understand when you "step out of line." Admitting that the bag was purchased old and changing your views (to get a new) empowers her in knowing she could control you. Aside from the obvious vicious cycle in which you both live, harboring such a relationship will make you both worse off in the end. I'm sure she is guilt-ridden in treating you this way and you obviously feel bad for being treated as such. This is really unhealthy: Not only for you, but for her as well.
It's none of my business (I couldn't stand saying nothing), there's got to be a way to improve your relationship. Ideally, you would respect one another, mutually.
Was this bag a gift from your mom? Whatever past is past. You mentioned that you have a son to take care of. She should let her grudges go and not use that against you. It's the decent thing to do. And, you must stand up for yourself, but respectfully.
