Are you sure? You really liked the silver and getting a bad return is rare. Perhaps you should have another sent to you?

Congratulations on your recent sales, especially unloading your Celine!Two other notes
First, Mr. S and I were just talking about how we want to spend our disposable this year. We want to do a big house project and both of us have a relatively expensive want on our wish lists. So, we decided to get those for each other as combo bday / Christmas presents. And, we both are still working on our wardrobe updates. Those aren’t cheap propositions.
Soooooo...the upshot of this is we can’t spend on random other stuff. So, for the first time I’m going on (quasi) ban island.No new bags for me this year unless it’s a one in / one out situation.
And, I just sold 2 bags. Yippee! They were bags that I thought I sold last year but because of a number of factors still own. ONE IS THE CELINE!!!I took a serious bath on it but, it’s still outta here as of tomorrow. Someone got a crazy good deal on that bag. But, these don’t count on my one in one out for this year. Lol!
Now, I just have the 2 Proenza Schoulers and 1 MK to sell and I am DONE with selling for the foreseeable future!!! Whoop!! I sorta kinda am thinking I might sell my big Jimmy Choo biker hobo because I just struggle with the black hole that is this slouchy bag. But, we’ll see. I really do love it.
This little treasure is so lucky to have found a new home with your family!talking you accumulating stuff and keep bringing the same thing again and again...
My DH went to empty the trash bin last night, we have a huge skip behind our house, and oops! he did it again!
i just came back from Vets, did the first round of necessary procedures, now we need to wash her, it's a female and we named her Snowflake

Update on the dying.
• As @mimi_buckley mentioned, Leather Surgeons won’t dye a bag a different color.
• Lovinmybags can do the navy with a metallic sheen for $550.
• Leather Pros can do navy with a metallic sheen for $250.
I’ve dealt with LP before on 2 Handbag dye efforts and been pleased with Mark’s work (Mark was the one who dyed this bag’s top flap as it had SNAD sun damage fading on the flap when I received it from TheRealReal. Never would I deal with TRR again.) So, it’s a no brainer to send to him to dye.
He can also reinforce the structure for an additional $120. This is where I’m not sure. It’s meant to be a soft flap but it’s doesn’t just look soft to me. It looks tired. I’m thinking I should do that as well. (??)

Can you ask his advice when he actually has the bag in hand?Update on the dying.

I am going to think about it. I wanted it more for spring than now so I have time.
You have an amazing collection! Sounds like a yummy dessert!
Thanks! I am going to keep my eye out for another silver backpack or bag but I am not going to rush.
Yes! Leather Pros seems like a steal. I think for $120 it would be well worth adding structure back to the bag if you think that it looks tired. I recently just got a quote from them about fixing a few loose stitches on one of my flaps and their quote was 1/3 of what Leather Surgeons offered. I am definitely considering sending the bag to Mark, I am so happy to hear that you have had good experiences with them!Update on the dying.

That's a really excellent point. And I like the idea of framing it in a positive way. My tendency is to have the self-talk "Sheesh! What was I THINKING when I bought this polka-dot sweater???" but that's way too negative & punishing. Better to say "Polka dots looked ike a fun idea, but in the long run it was an experiment that I won't repeat. Time for this sweater to go to someone who will love it."
