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:
Excellent questions Elaine.

@doni what a gorgeous picture of your wardrobe, just stunning! Congratulations on empty drawers and the kondo-ing success. I adore your Plume! :love:
May I ask, between your Constance, Verrou and Classic Box, which one do you carry more often?

Good question! I do use all three frequently, but carry the Constance the most, even though I believe the Verrou is the more practical of the three... :hrmm: So thinking aloud why, I think it is down to color and leather. I don’t love Epsom and even though Indigo is a wonderful color it lacks depth in that leather so it is not quite the black substitute I had hoped for. Still, love that bag, it is so well thought out and practical.
The Celine classic is a a recent addition and it is natural leather so I am perhaps still a bit too careful with it. It is going to be more of a Summer bag for me.
The Constance I have had for a long time. The leather is chèvre coromandel and just so beautiful and easy. I think of it more as a Winter bag but the fact is it goes with lots of my clothes (I love blue and brown together) and I wear it all the time. I love the brushed palladium too, I used to have a Constance with gold hw too but never wore it.

The Dalvy came in early this year, but I kept it under my hat - had too much going on, felt kinda like I had made a fuss over it earlier and it didn’t pan out (so I felt like a nincompoop), and so I just waited to reveal in the color week. Twins with @momasaurus, she’s a Navy Lady. The leather is gorgeous inside and out. I’ve got to get used to the closure - it’s tight and you’ve got to kinda squeeze the bag at the top a bit. There’s apparently a learning curve!

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! This is fabulous news. Why did I think you got a black Dalvy? My memory is a bad joke.
Also love your Pico. Yes, the Dalvy is very ladylike about keeping her mouth shut (although I have left it open for short periods of time - if shopping very vigorously, for example!) It's not easy to open and close on the fly, like while carrying it, but it's fun to put up on a counter (for admiration and adulation), squeeze a little, and close.
