Love your Bal! Did not know that you still have one.
Mine was my 2005 Christmas present, Fim . I wore it every day for nearly two years…It was a wreck when I bought it and hasn’t improved with age, Ludmilla.
But it’s a perfect bag to accompany me emerging from a muddy field to be sent on a speed run to replace a broken part at Tractor Supply.
Happy Friday!

The handles are not in a very good shape of course..
I once went to the boutique and asked if I could have them replaced.
They told me it wasn’t a very good idea as the leather wouldn’t be the same.
They had stopped using chèvre….and lamb was totally different they said….especially as my bag was red..
I feel for you, Ludmilla. My daughter and I have put off our annual Christmas shopping trip until (hopefully) tomorrow when the weather here should be less miserable than it is today.Happy Friday!
Have fun! We are having rain and some snow so my Christmas shopping plans will probably not happen today.
You know me too well, Fim.That’s so sad, Mariapia.
Especially when (knowing you) your Bal was well maintained and never subject to abuse. Even now I suspect it is carefully tucked away to preserve all the happy memories you have with your lovely red Bal.
Same here, Ludmilla..except for the snow.Happy Friday!

Wow, a red Bal! It must be gorgeous! Usually you can buy new lacings and redo that part. I have both chevre and agneau Bals. I know everyone seems to love chevre more but I don't find that much difference. The chevre has a beautiful crackly appearance. Some years the leathers are better than others, regardless of whether they are chevre or agneau.Mine was my 2005 Christmas present, Fim . I wore it every day for nearly two years…

Weather is even worse, today. Guess I am staying indoors.You know me too well, Fim.
Happy Saturday, Ludmilla.
Love this new bag. The colour is beautiful!Happy Thursday, fellow Islanders!
Internet access for me has been spotty at best this past week.
So to recap this past Saturday’s shopping trip with my daughter:
Despite the weather, we had our typical holiday heyday.
We began with a visit to our favorite patisserie to fuel our efforts.

Next we joined the throng of fellow Christmas shoppers with our respective lists.

As for any bags we saw during the course of our shopping….
Which (though slightly disappointing) was not unexpected. Fortunately I had prepared in advance with my second “from me to me” Christmas bags.
My olive green Patricia Nash Amberleigh Tote that put any other bag we saw to shame.
