@missie1 your red bags are so gorgeous!
As you know, my heart beats a little faster every time I see a red bag. I'm guessing you are the same way?

As you know, my heart beats a little faster every time I see a red bag. I'm guessing you are the same way? 
I've always been drawn to this style, though I've yet to pop for one. It's so pretty in yellow.
It's really attractive! I just learned (duh) that my Wolf jewelry box, which I've had for three years, is tarnish-free. Which totally explains why the silver pieces which were stored there hadn't tarnished.
So this morning I did a bit of rearranging, and now all my silver pieces are tucked safely into the Wolf jewelry box.
I like a system with stackable trays. That's how my Wolf system works. I have four trays, each with a different combo of dividers, so that I can organize my earrings, bracelets, pins, and necklaces. The perfect system for a Capricorns!I was surprised as well. eBay seems to have some really wacky rules.
This is pretty!!! I had a hard time finding a jewelry case that worked for me as all of them have loads of places to put small but not large earrings, relatively fewer spaces for other pieces and almost nothing for differently shaped pieces.
Then I found this modular system and I LOVE it!!!!! I could buy as many sets as I needed so have the perfect spot for every single piece I have with some growing room.Plus, it looks sleek in my closet. It doesn’t, however, prevent tarnish - hence me off loading my silver jewelry.
I use this one for earrings, bracelets, pins, my watch, etc. (same item in the next 3 pictures) View attachment 4340280View attachment 4340282 View attachment 4340281
And, I use a couple of these sets for necklaces and bracelets. View attachment 4340283I keep my most expensive pieces in beautiful individual cases that my jeweler gives me. They are several steps up from the typical PU leather covered thin cardboard jewelry boxes and do a wonderful job of storing those items. I’ll try to remember to snap a pic when I’m back home.

Thank you! That's not heavy at all.
Is it heavier in other leathers? I believe it comes in something called (I'm not sure if this is right) Togo? Is this a leather I'd want, or is it too delicate? I do like the look of the Clemence ones I've been seeing on reseller sites.
I’m so regret I didn’t get that bag while I had a chance. I didn’t know how to make small bags work back then.
I must miss the deal breaker question, but mine is the flimsy lining, bad stitches, and extensive hardware. I don’t mind synthetic or faux leather, but I hate flimsy lining (gives me icky), crooked stitches (you can manipulate the machine better than that, an extensive hardware (too heavy and not me. But I’ll admit owning one bag as an exception which is a Balenciaga tempete with G21 silver hardware. It’s too beautiful I can overlook the timbles. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23])
As for one thing that I’ll will not have in my closet? [emoji848] I’ve learned over the years to never say never. [emoji28] So, at the moment, I don’t really know. [emoji28]
And things I know I’ll likely to admire from afar is those sarcastic Moschino bags. [emoji23][emoji23] Some of them are too good as a joke, but they’re just that. Coupled with the price. No.
Are you a fellow Cdn? I saw hockey first the Cdn h site ☺️My dear Elaine, it looks like there are a number of us trying to enable you towards your first Evelyne.
@catsinthebag has shared how useful and practical the bag is
@lynne_ross has mentioned the outer pocket and the beauty of Clemence for this style of bag
I will add that I enjoy Etoupe and Etain in my collection. I have an Etoupe Evelyne III PM, as does catsinthebag. It is one of my most frequently carried bags. It is a wonderful year round neutral. I carried mine to the hockey rink today.

Thanks essiedub. Yes to the ink! Thanks for the Bolide love, it’s one of my favourites. I don’t think of Etain as a blue grey. I think of it as a dark grey compared with Etoupe (which leans to grey-beige/taupe in my mind.) H colours are wonderful and complex.Ooh yes love love! I need torquoise ink!
Your etain bolide just killed me. All that puddly goodness! Is it photographing more blue grey? I love it. I dont have a bolide but have been thinking about them..only thinking
There is a wonderful thread on the Bolide if you’re interested,

I believe Evelyne comes in Epsom and Clemence. @catsinthebag mentioned Epsom will be lighter than Clemence. I haven’t seen Togo used for Evelyne. Clemence is a hard wearing leather with slouch so the bag will mould to you, it’s not too delicate and actually quite durable in my opinion.Thank you! That's not heavy at all.

I forgot to mention there is a newer Evelyne Sellier style that comes in different leathers. I’m not as familiar with that style.

Fabulous red and yellow bags missie! I especially like your YSL clutch, is it Belle du Jour?
