In the last pic (my current collection)
lilac 03
black 04
cinnamon 07
yellow 07
marron 04
dark turq 04
red 04 (which arrived today, yay!)

I have a *thing* for 04 bags. I think the leather is the most amazing and smooshiest out of all the years. Plus I *love* the pewter hardware.
Just need a green 03-4, and a marron 04 city (my twiggy is very worn out) to round out the collection lol. And maybe replace the new yellow with one from 03-04 as well. Gives me something to work on :smile:
 
Your collection is one of my top favourites, sunspark. :yahoo: You have great taste in colors and leather choices. I just *want* that 03 lilac of yours! LOL

Congrats girl, fab collection! Good luck with the search for green and marron, I remember you've been looking for a marron forever now...

:wtf: This group shot brings tears to my eyes!! GORGEOUS! :wtf: Sigh.
 
Thanks ladies:smile:

The funny thing is, once I thought the turq had to go. I actually had it on ebay 3 times, and cancelled the auctions. I think once I listed it and it didn't sell-the bin price was pretty damn high. And now, I am *so happy* I never sold it. I don't even remember why I wanted to let it go.

And the red I go today, the 04,. it is amazing. So soft and smooshy, the color is still true with no fading. I actually owned 2 red twiggys, 2 red citys, and 2 red days (all 05's) in search of the perfect one. And an 06 red day. Sold them all! This is the keeper. I can't even tell you how much I love this bag! It hangs with sexy curves. And only those with *really* broken in bags know what that looks like.

The lilac 03, my love/hate relationship. It photos far more pink than it truly is. The handles are dark, the color is uneven. I paid way to much for it lol...it needs to go to LMB for some work. But for a pink/lilac bag, it truly is a nuetral. And is has great leather. Like wrinkled elephant skin. Which sounds far less applealing than it really is.

Now I really want to intensify my search for more older bags, especially 04.
