My three Balenciaga rouge theatre bags, all sold now. Plus my true red, also sold. I love red but feel like a stop sign carrying it.

I find red hard to carry too (stop sign lol!) but then when I look at pics of me with my red bags I am like wow that looks great. So maybe take a pic to show you how great they look while wearing.

2019
  • Same as 2018
  • Considered replacing Red Lambskin WOC with Black Caviar WOC, got quotes, decided to pause on selling red WOC, purchased the black WOC and use it frequently (fantastic little bag for traveling), carried and reevaluated the red WOC and decided to keep it for the time being (silky smooth leather as it is 5 years old now) and monitor my wears
The coco handle . Nice seeing your progression too!
 
The only bag I have from back then is my Ruby Paige from Mz. I had finally bought the Mulberry bayswater in small and sold the fossil super cheap to a friend. My speedy I just gave to my daughter because it was her dream bag and I struggled to wear it. Right now I have the three bright red bags at the consignment shop. I only want my Bally tote ,Mulberry and small oxblood coach. If they don’t sell they come back so for now this is my reds and burgundy bags.
The mulberry looks almost purple (raisin) colour, beautiful bag!
Lucky daughter!
 
Happy Super Bowl Sunday to those who watch!

Today is going to be another listing day. I’m going to sell the red Prada. I only wore it 4 times last year and 3 wear were “forced” because of our challenges. :-s I have no heartburn over this one. Better to get the little bit of money it’s worth and put that to another similarly functional bag that I’ll actually wear. Bags with gold hardware are tough for me to rotate in as I prefer white gold jewelry and don’t mix metals. I’d rather just get a second smallish gold bag (I have my gold new medium Boy) and use those when I wear yg jewelry v my previous approach of trying to have bags with both shw & ghw in all my “key” colors.

And, I know what I’m getting for V day :woot: so I’m selling the item it’s replacing in hopes someone will want it for their Valentine. I also have 2 other pieces I’m ready to let go. Jewelry is the one thing I’m bad about hoarding. So, I’m trying to have a 1 in 2 out approach for the next couple years. I’ll let you know if I can pull this off without having a stroke. LOL! With V Day, I’ll have 2 pieces in over the last couple months so, I have to make good on the four out :faint: I’m really dithering on what #4 will be. It’s easier for me to give the jewelry to DD than sell it. So, I may just pick something out and give it to her as a V day present. BTW - I’m so happy, her project has been extended so she’ll be here through the first week of March!!! :yahoo:

Finally, I have some clothes the were lurking earmarked for sale a couple months ago that I forgot about. :doh: They are mostly mistakes from my last trip to Europe. I just went buying cuckoo. I look at the items and think what alien took over my body and made me buy these??? :sick: One cream colored jacket is my size but so voluminous, that it looks like I’m being swallowed by demonic yet artistically designed marshmallow. Another bad idea is a black pantsuit with ankle pants hemmed in 3 inches of white lace. :no: I really have no idea what I was thinking. :facepalm:

Exciting month ahead for you!
I was going to ask you what you do with your unused jewelry. I have a bunch of items I want to get rid of - a bunch of hermes items I will send to consignment, but then I have a bunch of gold/silver I have no idea how to get rid of. Do you go to a pawn shop for that stuff? I also should put aside the items I think my daughter would love at some point, though she seems to have her eyes set on some VCA pieces .
 
Lovely curating!

Thank you Sparkle! :ghi5:
Love your bags.
Thanks dc! :hugs:

Great evolution! I love that you were able to make your daughter’s dreams come true by gifting her the Speedy. I like the backpack!

My red Rudsak satchel that I’ve been carrying this week. I love this design so much I have it in black as well. My favourite detail is that it comes with a tiny led flashlight on a leather cord on the inside to help you look for things in the dark.

Also, apologies if I just jump in and out of this thread, I like the challenges but find it hard to keep up with the conversation.
Hi soramillay :wave:
I like your Rudsak! Did you know it’s a Canadian brand? Waving from Canada!

I don‘t know the exact name of this Tod‘s bag. It‘s a great shopper with nice slouchy leather.

I had at least three more red bags that I‘ve sold a while ago (another red Tod‘s, a Mandarina Duck Hera and a Modalu Pippa Bag). Red is much more versatile than I would have guessed before I tried it out.

Your collections of red bags are great, as far as you‘ve showed them here yet!
The leather on your Tod’s bag looks great, I just want to reach into the screen and give it a bit of a squeeze! :angel:

I have always liked your red Speedy. But then again you were not reaching for it, so I was happy when you kept it within the family. Your daughter must have really been happy. Do I recall correctly that you gave it to her for Christmas?

And I really like your Bally too! I wish I found one in this color. That Bernina (?) tote appeared once in a while at Yoox, but never in that color combo.


I'm getting this feeling (bolded statement) too!! I'm slowly becoming content and really feeling happy about my bags. This is not to say though that I do not lust for this bag or that. (Because at this very moment I'm thinking if I should make an offer on a bag.) Just a wonderful feeling with having these beautiful (to me) bags!
You are correct she just received it for Christmas. She was so over the moon with it I saw her taking selfie’s with it. lol

That Tod’s bag is gorgeous. I love burgundy.

Daughters always seem to know what the valueable stuff is.
 
I listed 2 more bags today. So, I have a total of 5 listed.

I did a quick check of prices on my red Prada DZT. Ack! They’re horrible. So I shan’t be selling that bag for any reason. More motivation to enjoy it and rotate. Lol!

I’m a little frustrated with people. I’m selling an area rug. I had an apt at 10 today for someone to come by. They no showed after confirming this morning. :mad: So, I contacted the person who begged me to let them know if the first person didn’t come. Though we had agreed on a selling price they tried to get me to cut it in half. When I said no, we agreed to a price and that is what I’m selling it for, they actually said I needed to “get over myself” and just sell the rug.

:cursing:

Has any sense of civility completely been abandoned on the Earth??? Why be nasty? And, how did they expect the transaction to go if we met in person after that ignorance? SMH!?

This is yet another reason why I don’t want to sell things anymore. People can be so idiotic and mean spirited.
I'm sorry you had to deal with this :( I hope you find a buyer who is a decent human being soon!
