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!

All of them are beautiful but that Dalvy is stunning.

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.

Exactly - perhaps she's a bit secretive? But - oh - so pretty.
Thanks for the Pico love - such a fun purse! I'd love to find one in a bright pink!
(there's a couple on the bay but they have dark brown handles. )

Thank you! The photo doesn't really do it justice - the light is terrible and I just couldn't catch the true blue of it.

This is a cute bag and it looks fantastic on you - yes, to the adjustable strap! How would this bag fit within your total collection? Does it fill a gap, does it overlap with existing bags, do you like it more than bags you already own and carry? How would this addition fit with your current goals and the bags you’ve recently added? I love all the bags you’ve shown us, you’ve got great taste and everything looks fabulous on you. Good luck with your decision.

Thank you! I think that I don't really have "gaps" in my collection at this point because I really do have more than enough bags in my mind (I think around 14, at this point). Generally I just add things I love and try to get rid of things that I don't love or like the least.

I've decided to proactively list one of my bags, see if it sells, and then decide whether or not to get this. I don't think it will sell out anytime soon and, with the downturn in the economy right now (and paying taxes shortly here), I'm going to be a little bit conservative. And also very grateful that I work from home! I had one more trip upcoming but that was canceled as many hospitals are not allowing employees to travel or contractors to come on-site.

Great blues Elaine. Your Montaigne BB looks wonderful.

Thank you! I liked carrying it so much yesterday, that I decided to take it with me again today!

These are stunning, @Cookiefiend . You have the MOST amazing blue collection.

Don't you also have a navy Kelly?

Thank you!
My K is black - a navy K (as well as a Rouge H) has been on my 'Might Buy if Found in the 3Rs*' list for several years, but I haven't found one yet that meets the all criteria, at the right time.
Que sera, sera!



3Rs = Right Color, Right Condition, Right Price

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... 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.

Thank you for the lovely, detailed response and discussion of colours and leathers. All three are beautiful bags, sigh, a Constance in chèvre coromandel. You have a wonderfully curated collection. Thanks for sharing pics.

I love this comment, “Generally I just add things I love and try to get rid of things that I don't love or like the least.” I love your self awareness of having enough bags, adding beautiful bags and releasing your least favourites. Thanks for sharing this, it’s inspiring.

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!

Please do! I'm curious as to what you decide!

It is raining today so I am not going to unwrap until I wear it. Here is a quick picture and it does have the tree on it. Question what is the lock for?

It is very lovely! It’s so nearly a twin for my 2016 version. The tree on the postman’s lock makes it an original small Bayswater satchel design rather than the newer Coca designed one. I prefer this original postman’s lock but I do have different bags with the other one. A lot of Mulberry fans on tPF seem to prefer the preCoca bags. The little padlock is really just for style. You can put it on the postman’s lock but I’ve never seen anyone do that. It would be rather fiddly.

It’s a new bag so you won’t want to spoil it but mine survives going out in any weather! It’s been on many city break. Rome, Paris, London...
Enjoy it when you do take it out!
