Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

@JenJBS Such a pretty collection! I love that rose gold BV.
@dcooney4 Beautiful work. I love cardinals too.
@afroken I love the Flor leather. Your pictures really showcase the artistry of the leatherwork. Pretty bag, too.
@Jereni your silver chanels are gorgeous. What is the spangly hobo on the right? Love it.
@BowieFan1971 Congratulations on finding your HG! I like the look of the 35 and I have heard that this size makes for an excellent work bag. I look forward to hearing your reviews (the Bolide is also on my HG list).

This is such a cool shaped bag J!!!

Well, I found a bag I can be happy with! I looked all day and saw that Gold Clemence Bolide 31s are going for $5k+, which is more than I feel comfortable paying for a bag. For less than half of that, I bought this 35 Gold Courcheval in excellent condition. Edges, handle, interior is near perfect. I got 3 out of 5- price, color, condition. I sacrificed size and leather. I will know for sure when she arrives, but I am excited!
Here she is....pic from the selling site. It will be authenticated before it is sent to me.View attachment 5054690

Congrats! It's a beauty!

Wow that was so fast! Looks beautifully made.

I am now sort of stalking the Polene Numero 8 mini. This love sort of came out of nowhere so I need to sit on it for a few weeks and see if it persists.

Anyone have this bag?

Congratulations! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the leather and size.
The Bolide is on my wishlist as well. The saga of finding the right Lindy was finally resolved today. (34 in Gold, I will post pictures later) Maybe later this year. Like Christmas!!

Thank you! DHL is the best. Ordered Friday night, here today.

The Polene thread has comments by a few people who have the Number Eight. As I recall, the only issue is it can a bit hard to get you hand out of while holding something.

 

[JenJBS]

Congratulations! That is such a pretty style.

Thank you!

Thanks guys! Another great thing is this is a US seller, so no hidden fees like customs and free shipping. The more I look at her, the more excited I am. I think I will be fine with the more structured shape...the only rigid Bolides I saw were in black and I think maybe that is part of why it struck me as more formal. The Gold color is softer and warmer. Can’t wait!!!!

I may actually get my initials on this one!

Congratulations! I´m so happy you found the perfect bag! It looks lush!

Your collection is so fun. I really love your frame bags and your alligator bag! What a beauty.

Thank-you so much!
