I am treating myself to my first bbag-decided on a City. After reading on here about deliciousness of older bal leather, I decided to look for older, used bags over new. I don't like veiny or flimsy leather. I've narrowed it down to an 05 Bordeaux or 05 Olive. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links to them or not so I won't for now. I really love the Bordeaux but it has slight handle darkening--kind of disappointed in dark handles for the price. The olive is listed as never being carried though. How often do older bags come up in excellent/mint condition? Is it maybe best to wait?
I live in the northeast and want a bag that is versatile and can be worn with many outfits/through various seasons. Also amazing leather that will hold up over time is a top priority. They both seem versatile color wise but its hard to tell on a computer screen. Does anyone have any opinions over which they would buy? This will be my only big bag purchase for awhile because I need the money-- I'm moving across the country next month. So I want to make the best choice! Thanks for any input!
