Hello ladies,
Black box Kelly is on a wish list of many of us. I came across of one which was produced the year I was born - first time I see a bag of that year.
Although it is possible to find preowned BBK in excellent condition on web, it is quite difficult to find one of your birth year - esp. if you are almost 40!
So what's the problem? There are two: (1) no strap; (2) I cannot see it in person (it is on consignment store website, based in Paris). They have authentication procedure, and I bought from them before, so no worries here. Just the condition of the bag (no corner wear, impeccable outside and inside, no smell, no signs of usage) - sounds too good to be true. I have never bought preowned bags before and have to admit any extensive signs of use would be a put off for me.
The price is USD 5700. Oh and another scare is - I recently received an empty package after buying an H scarf online. So I am a bit hesitant to buy on Internet with postage. I strongly suspect it was stolen during the shipment.
I guess I would like to know what you would do: to get it or not? How much is the strap now? Can I order it longer than the standard one and how long it takes?
Million thanks indeed!

Acutally I decided to move to ban island but have a trip to Paris within the next few weeks. If you want me, I could go there (I'll be there nevertheless I am on ban island, but just saying hello to the other bag I did not buy and i am still thinking about means no harm, doesn't it?) and make a few pictures for you.
