Nightmare! Poor you. Glad you got it out and hope you can get your poor dresses sorted.

I have some experience with these blighters living in a house built in the 1800s. We completely renovated when we moved in as it needed a huge amount of work (living with my folks for 4 months and spending all that money on the house = no bag buying!). A year later a mouse under the floors ate through one of our central heating pipes! Cost a fortune to take up my solid oak flooring to fix! They can eat through anything! Fortunately they don’t seem to be able to get into the house. We had it all checked and I’m sure my cats would make short work of them if they did!

The best advice I got at the times was to fill any holes with wire wool (from a DIY store) before blocking them up as it’s about the only thing they can’t chew! Good luck with the fight!

Thank-you! Your house must be amazing now it is fully renovated! Ours is from 1890 and far from being renovated. It´s all really makeshift and all three of us having far too much things does not help. I had my warning! It´s time to set up traps, again!

I see why you're torn… that adjustable chain is incredible! If it were me, I guess some of the questions I'd ask myself would be:
- would it steal uses away from the black Lindy?
- would it steal uses away from the other similar-sized small bags?
- which would I rather have: this bag, or $$$ to spend at H??? :graucho:

Good luck deciding. Keep us posted! :smile:

I think it would steal away uses from all of my other bags, seeing how the Chanel 19 truly did that! I’m hoping this doesn’t sell out so I’m going to wait and think awhile, and list my Gris Asphalt mini Roulis as the first to go if I decide I need this one. I will keep you posted!

I have been tidying up and kondo-ing this weekend. Very happy with myself. I am not going to pretend everything I own is in this wardrobe. But it is getting pretty close.
Two of those drawers are currently empty by the way :shocked:.

Seeing this makes me happy. I love it when my closet looks (a wee bit) like this. The only way I can make it happen is with a strict "one in, one or two out" policy."

But… empty drawers??????? Be still, my beating heart!!!!! :P

AUGHHH! Mice - wee wicked devils!
I had a similar issue (and with a formal dress too!) but I had to get rid of the dress. I could have shortened it but then it wouldn't have looked right.

What a shame you lost your formal dress! Meanwhile I think I got lucky. I threw out one jacket I didn´t care for anyway and hope to rescue the 4 chewed dresses. Two of them are rather random 70ies- one a kaftan I had always wanted to make mini anyway- and will be ok shortened, a 60ies dress is already fixed and my late 40ies/ early 50ies Dirndl should be fine with some daring patching. Dresses of this era get away with repairs. At first sight I almost threw it away, but then realized it´s so old and the original owner would never had thrown it out had this happened, but repaired.

My blues .... I will make a decision to use them this month. I think I used the Antigona twice only .... ugh. It’s really stiff. I wear my Pochette Métis A LOT. Plan yo get another color.

I love your Pochette Métis in the Marine Rouge combo. That little pop of red is so striking against the dark navy. And the Empreinte leather… yum! I have the same color combo in a Montaigne BB… will post later this week.
