I don't know! Good question. Have to really think about this one.
So cool!!!
Evelyne. I love that bag.
Don't get the RM. Sound like you don't really love it. I'm sure the better one will come along.
Ooh.... What a beauty! I love this! The leather look so great!
Thank you!
I decide to finish of the year with this bag; Bal Twiggy in 09 Ciel.
Bal's blue is notorious for turning yellow and this one is no exception. I carried her once or twice, I think, then I keep her in her dust bag. Let's say a handful of time, still, she turn yellow a bit anyway. (Not to mention the glue they use on her tassels just sucks they split by itself.) I just love her color too much to get mad. And since her type of shade is one of the Color of the Year for next year, I think I'll take her out. I find her color comforting and her leather soft.

She's a beauty!
Another vote for Evelyne. That style has been growing on me lately. But also try to assess which one you'll get more use out of.

Beautiful! To think Bal is an expensive bag, it shouldn't fade that way. But, well, it happens. My LV vachetta handles and trim still darken even in storage. [emoji17]
Glad to know your more expensive and delicate bags will be used more next year!
I think I'll hunt down a tpm Evelyne!
I think it would be the Evelyne.
+1 on thinking Bals shouldn't fade.
Cute!
Yes. I agree. It shouldn't be this way. I was mad the first time I found out, but then I calm down later after learning that there's no way to fix the yellowing issue. I find the excessive tassels fun though, although it gets me worry about that it may break or torn easier. Ciel is a pretty color and a very overlooked one in its day. At least, I'm glad I get a hold of one.
It's my kind of shade. Ooh! I like that monster! It's so adorable. I'm waiting for my huge new bag charm to arrive, too! I really have a thing for fluffy stuff.
love the blue, and i hope you're able to track down your custom RM. So exciting! Can't wait to see it when you get it, and that was really sweet of your DH
soooo gorgeous, omg. What a way to wrap up 2015!
What a great haul! and I'm so loving your Fran's. Seeing them really makes me wish I had bought mine in a dark color, the leather just looks so good in dark colors.Reveal. Marc Jacobs is my weakness.
MBMJ Flash Kelsey
I bought it pre owned and it is another project bag. Inside was dirty and outside needed cleaning and conditioning. I washed the lining and cleaned/conditioned the leather and it looks very good, lamb leather is buttery soft and I have great black cross body.

MBMJ P2M Voyage satchel
This was unplanned purchase. I love MBMJ petal to metal handbags but they are not so easy to find any more. So, when I spotted this one in outlet then just had to buy it. Leather is amazingly soft.

MBMJ Classic Q Fran
This bag has been on my wish list for a long time and I always wanted the older version as I like it more. First I intended to buy Francesca which is larger version but then realized that smaller one makes more sense for me. So, I ordered the black one and shortly after the bag arrived, found the other one in my local consignment store. Blue bag was in excellent used condition and it is probably crazy but I will keep both.

My collection was lacking casual black bags, that's problem is solved now.
Thank you for letting me share.
have a great trip! and happ ynew year in advance!Sorry for being MIA. There're just so much during the last week.
Wow! I love every bags of you girls!
Eehler - The color of the Julian is amazing! I hope you get your package at the end. I'm hunting for one of mine, too.Arg! Post office at the end of the year.
Tuuli - I also love that blue Fran. No wonder why you want to keep both.
CleverCat - And that purple reissue! Ah... Such a beauty. I used to contemplate getting this exact bag, but just couldn't decide. It's such an amazing color.
Bake - maybe you can pick out CDC or some click clack at H during your London trip? I think jewelry is nice.
MSD - I'm always into color bags since I dress very simple and pretty much black pants with white tops so colorful bags spice up my outfit. Since the project, I appreciate black bag more.
DC - so, have you reach your conclusion on the backpack yet?
I'm leaving for hubby's hometown tomorrow. Don't know about the Internet connection and the chance to go online so... Happy new year in advance!
Tha'ts awesome, I love store credit ... no rush until you find the perfect item, and then it's like getting a gift! haha
such a gorgeous color, i love it!
yellow would be such an amazingly cheerful color! I had a Coach Legacy clutch in yellow before but eventually returned it because I didn't use the style enough and had too many, but I regret giving her up because of the color... now I think I should have gotten at least an SLG.. i hope you find a yellow bag!Btw, aside from fuchsia pink, I think I also want a nice yellow smooth leather bag. Talk about bright colors for 2016!
oooh this is really neat! I haven't seen it irl life... I totally understand about the backpack. Ever since I got my mbmj, I am just loving the ease of it and find myself looking at other ones... I am so tempted to get more but I hold back mostly because, I know that after this holiday break and my industry goes back to normal, I will have to revert back to my business-formal attire, and then my backpack will only be used on trips, and weekends at best, and therefore can't justify more than 1 at this time. If the LV bag can be carried in more than one way, it may be more bang for your buck in the event you get tired of the style or current trend. I think it's a really cool bag, and would love to see how it looks as a crossbody. Keep us posted!
such glorious squishiness
haha, dirty job.. that just cracked me up, I don't know why
+1 to this whole thing. And bake, I read further down that it's your last hurrah. and if you're able to hunt down a dark Evelyn, I can't wait to see what color you find it in.
ooh this is such a pretty and unique color, I really like it.I decide to finish of the year with this bag; Bal Twiggy in 09 Ciel.
