Thank you!Faaab!!! Fiercely beautiful!!
thank god it's not the other way around!!!
Big congrats, dear! you deserved it and i hope you will enjoy it for many years to come!!
Sparkle, yay on the tote fitting the bill!! Finally the long search is over! You have one gorgeous bag! And I’m so relieved to know it’s not been ‘harmed’ in the box at all.
My dealbreakers for bags:
1. Contrast stitching. I know some love it, but for me it just doesn’t work. My Prada has a bit of it. At first I couldn’t put my finger on what I don’t like about it. I realized only later that it is the contrast stitching.
2. Colored bags with black edge coating. I’ve probably been spoiled by Massaccesi where edge coats are tone on tone.

I only have 2 red bags now and 1 burgundy bag.

Massaccesi midi Minerva.
And Elaine’s red bag’s big sister, regular size Marc Jacobs 54. It’s a bit hard for me to wear this since she’s big and too red with too gold hardware. I listed her up in our local ebay for 2 months but no takers.
And finally my Mulberry Zipped Bayswater in Oxblood. Love!
Oh, and my wallet now is in oxblood too (Mulberry).
I also use a Longchamp pouch for meds and lipstick and powder.

I like the reverse mono Cannes a lot, especially since it comes with a strap. The Petite Boite Chapeau is adorable. I hope you show them here some time.
Dealbreakers for me are drawstring closures, faux leather, and really shiny gold hardware.
Your oxblood Mulberrys are beautiful. So is your red cherry nappa Massaccesi.
Isn’t it funny how red can be ‘too red’? It’s so true though... Mr Cookie always looks at me like I’ve grown horns on my head when I say that! [emoji38]
Love your Mulberrys - such marvelous leather!
I’ve looked at the LC pouches many times - do you like them? Do they wear well?
I remember this Hermès from last year. Or was it two years ago?
It is natural sable with PHW, so almost like a light tan-yellow. It's interesting because it kind of looks funny with my skin tone. It's really beautiful but just not super usable. My husband thinks it looks nice and that is partially why I bought it. He never likes H bags. Plus, it was purchased on our honeymoon so it was a nice memory of the trip. I think it could work well casually but I scared of the color and it's my only swift bag so I'm also nervous about that leather a bit. I've tried to rehome it a few times. I know I could and should just use and enjoy it but I don't get the opportunity to take it out. It's a really special bag/clutch. My jige was in Rose Jaipur. Bad decision. If it was gold I think I would have used it regularly, or even black. But I got the RJ and tired of it quickly.
I think the KP is so cute but I'm also scared I wouldn't be able to use/love that! Maybe the shape, if carried open, could be a bit more casual! What color is your KC?
