I love Glycine, but I am really a dirt bag. Mostly dark colors for me.
Oooh, this is beautiful. How do gigolos relate to this color?View attachment 4611579
Thank goodness for TPF! Amazing you were able to remove the transfer without removing the bag color.....you said its a yellow Bal? I actually end of summer bought the same BV medium veneta in yellow...saving it for spring....and i will not wear it with a denim or dark jacket after reading about your ordeal
....burgundy.....i hadn’t considered one in that color, and i think you are exactly right....if i can find one, i think that color would be fabulous in the medium Veneta, and its a color that works very well for me....thank you for the suggestion! I am going to investigate....unfortunately BV has moved away from its traditional styles, and the only new Venetas are black....so its a matter of finding one at some point on the secondary market.....but they do have a Lauren clutch that i’ve been eyeing, and the Gigolo Red is beautiful in the Intrecciato weave....its like a wine/burgundy color....
Have you still got bags in every colour for every outfit?
Oh I've wanted a white bag for such a very long time. I've been waiting so patiently for the right one to come up, the colour is so perfect for summer and holidays. I got fed up waiting and blew my money on a small Chanel boy in beige........on a whim
That's not like me at all, I'm never spontaneous especially with that much money. I thought about taking it back but it was exchange only and there wasn't anything else I wanted 
Then of course I just had a peek in store a few weeks later and they had a White small Boy! I wish I hadn't gone in, I need to stop browsing and upsetting myself.
I guess it wasn't meant to be, I keep thinking it's quite a bulky little Boy
and he wouldn't look good in white when worn 
..............I'm not sure at the moment how this thread is helping me "shop my own bags and wallets" 
I really need to try harder!

I find it really hard to save and wait too. It's actually better if I limit my bag purchases to 1 or 2 (or 3) a year. That way I buy a bag and I stop looking. You seem to have bought and are still looking which makes me think you either don't trust the bag or the fact it was a spontaneous decision. That you're already second guessing the white Boy could mean you'd change your mind again if you exchanged.
I am an anti-spontaneous shopper too and when I fall in love and go with my heart I immediately feel awkward for not considering for a long time. I had the same problem with an Hermes scarf from this Summer, I couldn't accept that sometimes things that didn't catch my eye online just look fabulous IRL.
I'd go in and look at the white Boy, try it on, take a mod pic and go home, do the same with the beige and sleep on it. Then decide and if you stick with the beige or exchange for the white don't let yourself second guess again but 'own that bag'. Sometimes I think we give ourselves too many choices. Buy the best, enjoy and forget about it.
If you really want a white bag it doesn't have to be a Chanel. There are some fantastic choices out there now. I have a white Chanel (Cambon shopper in white and python) it's serious commitment and it's handheld with black handles.
Lauren Hutton carried the Lauren in the movie “American Gigolo” in that shade of red, hence the name.Oooh, this is beautiful. How do gigolos relate to this color?
Oooh, this is beautiful. How do gigolos relate to this color?
I know, right?! I wonder who names these colors lol. Stunning bag and color tho!Holy cow! That is SO cool! And hence a perfect name. @muchstuff , you rock! Fountain of knowledge. Now i want the bag even more
Thank you for letting us know the significance 
So much for shopping our closets, eh @Mulberrygal

Your beige Boy sounds lovely! And probably a better color to invest in with such a pricey bag....i would be terrified of color transfer on a white Boy .....beige is a wonderful neutral....personally, i would look for a white bag that isn’t crazy $$$, that way dirt and color transfer won’t be upsetting....i’ve seen some nasty looking white classic flaps on yoogis and tradsey etc....very grimy...i have 2 white Massaccesi bags, beautiful handmade Italian bags, and if they get dirty it won’t kill me cause i can just replace them at that price point....
Can’t recall who first posted that bit of info here but thanks!Holy cow! That is SO cool! And hence a perfect name. @muchstuff , you rock! Fountain of knowledge. Now i want the bag even more

Your white Chanel shopper sounds beautiful
A lot of maintenance, but worth it. I like what you said about ‘too many choices’. Life was easier when you went into a store, found what you liked, and bought it. Internet shopping has become overwhelming. We are bombarded with choices on the shopping sites and on the social media platforms. I think it can definitely confuse and complicate our choices.
Great advice to @Mulberrygal , taking modshots with both and sleep on it
No, but almost. I don't have any beiges or very light pastels. From looking at my collection, it is obvious that I love blue and purple, so I have more in those shades than other colors. I think these are pops of color that aren't super bright so I feel more comfortable with them. I have one bright yellow bag, one red bag, and a few greens. I would like to add a fuchsia and a dark grey.Have you still got bags in every colour for every outfit?

I hope you get your beige/white boy dilemma sorted out in a way that makes you happy. I understand the impatience. I'm the same way. If you can't stop thinking about the white, you won't be happy settling for beige. Maybe you'll try on the white and decide it doesn't look as wonderful as you imagined. Beige is more versatile.
Yes. Exactly. I was so excited about my new burgundy Valentino bag, and then after @jbags07 's post yesterday about the BV clutch, I wandered over to the BV site and let myself get distracted by a burgundy shoulder bag. Suddenly I was second-guessing myself. Had I snagged the Valentino too quickly? Was classic BV intrecciato leather better suited to my needs than the Valentino's box leather? Were the dimensions of the BV ever-so-slightly more suitable? Had I made a Big Fat Mistake???????
Such silliness. The Valentino is a great bag. And to prove it to myself, I'm carrying it today, paired with grey jeans, a burgundy cashmere cardigan over a light pink tee, and a favorite H scarf. Off to the movies and lunch with DH, to see the lightweight mystery-spoof Knives Out.
Have a great day, everyone. And @papertiger , thank you for the reality check!
