2. Special Stories
Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

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

YAS twin!!! How are you liking it? I feel like it’s crazy utilitarian.

The color I’m currently dreaming of is the BV ‘mallard’ but I need another BV like I need a hole in the head

I successfully sold the Amaranto mini pouch - makes me sad because I did love the color but in the end it just wasn’t able to hold as much as I wanted it to. Looking to sell the Arco next.

Love this color!

That Mallard color is gorgeous! I have not used the Marlie yet, but I made sure I could get all my daily stuff in it before I took it to the register.

Ok, so this may seem corny. Remember, I have time on my hands.... I had the Bolduc ribbon from my scarf and I already had the thin brown ribbon. Had seen orange Bolduc pocket squares for like $400, which is CRAZY, so I got a plain orange silk scarf and decided to DIY. I am going to tie it on my Bolide, I think.
Question- which style looks best, Bolduc-like or wrapped like a box. And which way would they tie it- bow center or off-center? Which one looks best?View attachment 5056093View attachment 5056094View attachment 5056095

I like the top one best. I think it might be more difficult using them with the bows sticking out.

This color is amazing! I have a few bags in similar colors, Coach, vintage BV, and Bal. I can't seem to get enough of it.
I'm sorry you are letting go of the Arco.

Technically, we got the word “Vintage” from the French “Vingt Ans”, or twenty years.

This is so interesting! I never realized. With purses, 20 years is recognized as vintage but with other things, there are different time spans. With dolls, it is 50 years.

Pink

+1

You are right... I do like it better in the pink. I was trying to consider the taupe because I’ve also been sort of stalking this bag which I posted a few weeks back. It’s less practical but soooo gorgeous. Ugh. I know the Polene makes all the sense in the world and I definitely can’t get both but.... sigh.

Clothes that hurt (bags, shoes, underwire bras, jeans, you name it) are never a good idea.

So true!
I´m learning it the hard way at the moment... after working on a 40ies dress for a whole week to extend it to my size I finally was able to try it on: it´s itchy!
This afternoon I washed it with hair shampoo and some silicone hair treatment hoping to soften it... as soon as it´s dry I´ll know whether I have a chance to keep it or will have to try to sell it on.

1997 is considered vintage????? Gah!

Yikes I was born in 1997!

I hope that works, after all that work.

So stupid....PoshMark confirmed the Bolide is authentic but says they aren’t sure about the dust bag, so they are going to ship it without a dust bag! I asked them send it anyway because I don’t care and I need it. I also asked the seller to send it to me if they send it back to her.
Argh!!!!!These are the same people who authenticated my Pico, and shipped it to me, in a stupid Kate Spade dust bag...but the bright side is that the bag is authentic. And they should be shipping it out promptly.

I would consider getting another authentication for your peace of mind. PM authenticators make a lot of mistakes.
