India-

I say "go for it"! Although I have never been the voice of reason, it's a tough deal to pass up. I almost got it myself, and I was not feeling the pinkness of my Clingy at all. And I don't know that the Starlet would be big enough for me. And I still almost got it!
;)
 
Carried my Natural Pushover for the first time today. Idiot me, carried it while wearing my brand new, never washed, dark rinse jeans. Big nasty dark streak down the entire length of the back of the bag. Took me a while to realize what it was. TLC wipes, don't fail me now!:pout:
 
Texas, my wardrobe is casual - jeans and casual nuetral tops. If I have 'business' the black bag comes out. As a computer tech, I carry a pro bag and the personal bag stays at home or in the boot of the Mini.

Queenie! I know the wipes will work - especially if you've previously treated with the water/stain protector - let us know!

Mibelle, at this point in my life, I'm done with reselling. I lived most of my life NOT a handbag addict, and I think it's time to going back to a few instead of a ton. (boy, that sounds good doesn't it)

Previously treated? I believe that's what a smart, responsible person would have done. I was in too much of a rush to carry it, cause it matched crazy-perfect with my new Donald Pliner peace sign cowboy boots. The mark is no longer blackish, but it still seems to be a greasy darker natural colored mark. DH said he would not have noticed had I not pointed it out to him. But that's a man thing, right?
 
You need to let it dry - I know you want instant gratification, but let it dry until tomorrow!

And it sounds like, if worse comes to worse, you've started that natural aging process that 49SM is famous for!

Sorry to hear that queenie! If the wipes don't work you could try the white eraser (from a pencil), then magic eraser (very lightly) if that doesn't work. Some people have had good results getting denim stains off with it.
 
India- It sounds like your needing a VOR. I think you should go for the pink starlet. You know you like the style... you know you like the color. The two together would be perfect. HP isn't an everyday color but you've got that covered already with your other starlets. If you think about it as cost per wear is it comfortable for you?

395.00 (divided by) cost per wear lets say you wear it... 3 months (90 days) of the year. It would put in in the $4.38 per wear.
