I had one bag dyed and don‘t really like the result. Most of it is my own fault, as I found it difficult to choose the right color out of little squares on the screen, and it turned out to be way more green than I expected it to be. I wanted it to be more of a medium grey. And the bag had piping in another structure and a bit different colour, which you don‘t really recognize now. The structure of the leather also feels different now.

Before (the blue faded out which is the reason why I did it):

Now I don‘t really use it anymore, and must admit that DH was right when he said I shouldn‘t have it dyed...

I am sorry it didn’t work for you. I kind of like the green.

Actually a great sentiment but what if you and your DH disagree on what constitutes beauty? Or usefulness for that matter. (My kids are pretty useless when they come home, I’ll show them the quote [emoji23]).

Well, I think “you” can become “one of you!” Of course you’re going to have to have some compromise with your spouse and other people you live with.

I think it looks great. But if the structure or texture changed, I can see how that would be disappointing.

I just checked my notes but last January and Feb my consignment shop sold 4 of my bags and a wallet . This Jan. she sold one bag so far, but also a bit of silver jewelry. It looks like march is when I sold nothing and then april it started again. I hope that helps.

Thanks. It seems like maybe there’s a post-holiday/Valentines Day bump, and then a drop before spring. Just guessing.

Looking for some advice. I still have a few bags on eBay. I've had 4-5 reasonable-ish offers on one of the bags, and I'm messaging with someone who is very interested in purchasing it. She's struggling with the fact that she can't get it authenticated solely based on the pictures I've posted and recently dealt with purchasing a fake on eBay. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to handle this? I'm not sure what else I can do for her. It sounds like she tried tPF's authentication thread but they weren't able to authenticate based on the pictures I have posted.

Miss a few days and I’m a hundred pages behind lol. This thread moves....so I haven’t looked at any Kelly’s yet I have gotten sidetracked by jewelry purchases. I am currently working on my earrings. Who knew that ear piercings looks could consume so much time and money. I got my ears pierced for second hole two weeks ago so I’m focusing on my stud game. Trying to keep it classy but fun. Saw a few pair of Dior studs that seem fun but don’t know if I want to commit $500 bucks to them. I already had 2 ctw solitaire studs and just got pair of 1.10 ctw for the second hole. I can’t try them both on yet so the wait is killing me.

I love earring stacks and multiple (tasteful) piercings! I've also seen a look where someone on YouTube was wearing multiple double huggies which are like tight/tiny hoops that go right around the lobe. I'd love to do that but even those are expensive! And I just have one additional piercing right now outside of the normal lobe piercings.

Post mod shots when you have a chance! I think the good thing about money spent on earrings like this is that you will truly be wearing them everyday.

ask her what particular shots are needed, and send her extra snaps, perhaps?

if she lives somewhere nearby maybe she can come and inspect the bag in person?
