i love all of the colors, CeeJay!! which ones do you use the most?

I switch around my bags A LOT; for instance .. was carrying the '02 Caramel FBF for a few days, then switched out to the Noix RH PT and have since changed today to my Black RH PT. That's how I'm able to keep most of them in pretty good shape.
 
A few years ago, on a trip to Las Vegas and southern California, happened to stop into the Bal-LV boutique and found this beauty - a 2009 Noix Square Tote.

What's really interesting about this bag, is that this is actually the Men's Square Tote! Notice that the tassels are much shorter and wider than the 'normal' tassels. I actually think this makes the bag even better; it's a very functional & cool bag in a wonderful color. Still in the collection ...

You all know how I LOVE my Metallics, so of course, I couldn't resist scooping up one of the 10-year Anniversary Bronze Metallic City beauties!!! Still in the collection!

This is a gorgeous bag that has just the right amount of *sparkle* and the lining ... CHECK IT OUT; how cool is that?!?! These were specific to and sold only at Neiman Marcus .. hence the special tag inside:

Diverging (just a little bit) into the 'accessories' range, I couldn't resist posting this cutie-pa-tootie! Not sure of the year, but definitely an oldie (can tell by the hardware and the tassels), in a lovely creamy Ivory shade. Still in the collection ...

Another year, another RED bag .. the 2010 Sang GSH PT!!

I've never been lucky enough to own either of the "True Red's" (03 or 04), but I have had all the other Reds in my collection (at one point or another). IMO, Sang rates up there as far as Red's go .. and the addition of the GSH just makes this bag TOTALLY *pop*!!! Still in the collection ...

CeeJay, what a pleasure to see all your treasures, past and present. Such gorgeous bags. Esp all your flat brass and pewter hardware goodies. That turq weekender, I don't think I've ever seen another. I'll keep coming back for updates, thanks for starting this thread.
 
Wow, CeeJay! I am speechless! I knew that you had an amazing Bal collection BUT this thread is mind blowing! So many beautiful, rare treasures (especially including all those ones you have since sold too).

You literally took my breath away with your first pic.... 2004 yellow ph city!!!!! One of my very favorite Bals of all time, and SO RARE!!! I saved that photo on my iPhone to enjoy over and over, along with corey's "mystery" green city. Oh, I would so LOVE to see a pic of your old emerald city if you have one ( or can scrounge one up from an old computer)!!!!!

Thanks for sharing all your wonderful treasures.

I fully agree with every single word that chemosphere posted. I am speechless! This showcase is just adorable and stunning!!!!!!!!!
