Thank you More Bags!


After you told me that you had googled the Kita, I googled your Raven! :biggrin:
It is very like the Kita, just a bit fancier with the double zippers and I just love those little twists of leather at the handle - so cute!
And you got it a 7% of the retail price?!? That's fantastic!
Thanks! I wish it also had a shoulder strap option like yours. I think I'm going to try my Coach strap on it.
WOW, 7%?!!!? You are my hero.
YES!!! It's crazy!!! :nuts:
 
Downsized my collection again today. Sold a bag I hadn’t originally planned to sell.
I’ve been critically looking at my collection and picked 2 more bags to let go off; my fendi 2jours (grey) and my saint laurent monogram shopper (black). I love these bags but i can honestly live without them and put the money towards my wishlist items for next year.

Sold the fendi today, price wasn’t too great but i can live with it. Got a low ball offer on my saint laurent so still holding on to that.
:shocked: OMG! These are some gorgeous bags. I'm surprised to hear they're going! Were you not wearing them?

Such lovely tags! Are they vachetta? Also, I’ve been away from the thread a long time and missed your Steamer reveal. She’s gorgeous! Love the blue and gold pop.

So, today was the maiden voyage for my (new to me) Jimmy Choo Raven. Here she is in an action shot - not a beauty shot LOL! - sitting on top of packages I was taking to the USPS. She's a structured hobo so, she was a little less of a black hole. But, honestly, the leather is so yummy soft and the bag looks so cool for casual wear that I don't care.

Plus the fact that, with some conditioning, she looks new and I got her for only 7% (yes! SEVEN!) of the retail price means happy dance time. :happydance:View attachment 3882754

7%!! And she looks brand new too! I gotta pay more attention to this brand.

Thanks. I don't expect it to come back with cancer, I don't think they suspect that, but I do hope it comes back with the answers that will satisfy them as to why my platelets are a bit high and whether that is related to the blood clot.

All the best for the results and I hope you get some answers.

Late again today with an outfit - our anniversary was yesterday and we took today off. So schedules are out the window!

Vince turtleneck, Paige jeans, Hermes scarf and Lucky boots. Oh and the Puzzle is coming too! [emoji38]

You look lovely, happy anniversary! The Puzzle is a perfect bag for the outfit and the occasion
 
@soramillay
Yes they’re vachetta.
Those are cardcases though [emoji4]
I have to either put them in a shadow box or figure out what to do with them. The tags are easier to use more frequently.

Thank you for the Steamer love! I’ll share more pics of it since I’m better able to capture the color!

Congratulations on the editing and on the sale. Amazing resolve, letting go of bags you love! I’m curious what’s on your wishlist as those are lovely bags you are letting go of!

I got my new phone! Hurray for space, better camera, and battery life!

And the first picture I’ve taken is of my newest luggage tag!

Great camera and subjects, your luggage tag but especially the blue of your City Steamer.
 
OK. So eBay is really going crazy. I have two items listed as BIN.

I just got an email saying that since these items were listed for more than a week they made the decision to let buyers make offers.

Uh, no. If I wanted to sell for less on these items, I would have listed for less.

So now, I need to raise the price to accommodate offers? How stupid is this? Who is the new VP trying to make a name for themselves over there?!?

Wow. That is just crazy. I thought the whole idea behind eBay was that sellers got to decide how they wanted to sell. But I guess not anymore!

Thanks sparkletastic.
The fendi was one of my most used bags; i rotated it ALOT for work. It had gotten so slouchy and the slouch had started bothering me.
The saint laurent is a funny bag for me; i love this bag and i use it well but not as much as i would like.
The central zipper divider is one of the cons of both bags (for me). The saint laurent is still quite stiff so i really have to think of what i need to out into it and it can get heavy, unlike the fendi. The fendi though it also has a central divider but because the leather is soft i can fit more into it.
I may keep unto the saint laurent; i’m not desperate to let go of it if I don’t get good offers.

One of these for work. I’ll have to check them out in person to decide. Like i told sparkletastic i’m not really a fan of central dividers in bags (first two bags) but if the leather is supple i can live with it. The look so roomy as well and i love that

This for hand luggage for travel

I need a deep/navy blue bag for casual use. The mulberry is in midnight blue (it comes across as black in the pics). The celine in the pic is not my ideal blue, i would like a darker shade of blue

For travel; i had passed on the Evelyne in favour of the medium lady dior this year (long story). If i find it again in any of these colors i may get it
