I just got home from the office and there was a package waiting for me on the table!

I am about to take my pics....

And ladies...this bag...the leather feels nothing like my Voodoo...it's soft and chewy like the new caramel crunch leather and how I imagine lux will feel. I'm going to need your help deciding if I'm dying this baby or not.

Pics coming up!

Of course my computer wants to be a butt when I actually care if it's working

Voodoo · Jul 23rd, 2009, 07:01 PM

Ok finally....all downloaded and ready to go...

I'm really very happy with the condition the bag is in given it's age. There is a small scratch on the bottom of the bag:

And she has some dirt (which is why light colored bags make me insane hahaha)

Gorgeous Voo I have to think about the dye

Voodoo · Jul 23rd, 2009, 07:03 PM

I so so so so miss the giant graffiti tag...

The inside of the bag is clean as a whistle and when I say this leather is soft I mean super soft.......... when I set her down on her bottom she's an absolute puddle.....

Voodoo · Jul 23rd, 2009, 07:05 PM

Ok so........ do I dye her or not?????????????

The bag is certainly beautiful as is.... no doubt about it......but since this is only the third Gerard I've ever even SEEN for sale since I started buying Tano's in 2007 I'm really doubting I'll ever find one in blue marine.

On the other hand... if I ruin this bag it'd be a crying shame...

You guys vote and I'll follow your advice

I'm gonna say leave it alone! I wasn't crazy about the plasticky texture of the Tarrago dye (remember when I did my sister's rasp minilisa?). I think this bag just needs a Voodoo spa treatment, and she's perfect!

That's what scares me.....

Thank you sweetie!!

I totally adore that bag! That isn't some plain old light color.. it's pearly and wonderfully contrasted with that dark brown trim and love the tassels!! Oh my goodness what a score! As much as I wanted to see you dye a bag.. I don't this is the one to dye. Couldn't imagine looking that "opalness"

Oh and it puddles like a champ! Dang!

KittyBag · Jul 23rd, 2009, 07:20 PM

Do you think you could ever bring yourself to carry her as she is? Maybe we can hypnotize to get you over your fear of white bags?

kazmodo · Jul 23rd, 2009, 07:24 PM

no dye no dye --- it's gorgous like a south sea pearl...with the brown trim....oh, I love it!

Jane917 · Jul 23rd, 2009, 07:52 PM

I wouldn't chance a dye job. It could affect the integrity of the leather.

Celts20 · Jul 23rd, 2009, 08:01 PM

I'd say not to dye her either. The color is just beautiful with the strap detail and what a gorgeous light summer bag! Congrats!
