The moment I saw the emerald green back when the 18s was launched I was desperate for a mini. I searched high and low and none left in store. Over the years I was offered two minis but the prices were high so I turned them down. Little did I know they were set to sky rocket. Fast forward and I am lucky enough to have a woc and jumbo. The jumbo I found for less than retail. I had decided to sell the woc (long story but don’t need two 18s) but have been thrown a curve ball with a crazy price for the jumbo. So my question - would it be madness to sell both my 18s? As much as I love the jumbo, it isn’t the mini that I always lusted after and it’s a lot of money to turn down. I assume the 18s market will have to stop its upwards climb at some point. What a dilemma- massively conflicted and looking for some clarity. Appreciate I’m so lucky to have this dilemma and that in grand scheme of life at the moment it is arguably inconsequential. Any feedback/help massively appreciated xx

Sell bags you don’t use. Then pursue and buy what you will.
Oh no way I could ever justify paying for the mini. It would be keep the jumbo I have or accept no 18s
I think there’s an emerald green coming for 22A. Not sure if it comes in a mini but it’s worth checking out that thread if you haven’t already. I was actually just thinking before this thread that the insane 18S pricing might drop if 22A really is as close to 18S as it seems it might be. If it were me I would sell now (assuming you don’t really use it?)
I had no idea another emerald green is coming out. I want one but refuse to pay mark up. I’ll keep my eye peeled. What thread are you referring to?
Hi! 22A thread is here. Seems like there will be a green caviar, at least in jumbo. Hard to tell what the shade will look like in caviar but the lambskin mini, satin embellished mini, and rain boots are below. Someone in the thread said that the rain boots come in matching colors to the classic flaps. I am holding my breath for 22A green! I think it's unlikely that they'll use the same style caviar as the 18S green - that one has nice big and soft pebbles (at least from photos), where they seem to be gravitating towards smaller, shinier pebbles for the seasonal caviars over the last couple years.
Imo I think the 18S emerald is nicer than the 22A one. I would keep the jumbo - I don’t think it’ll lose value down the road and when you find the 18s mini you want, sell it then.
I would consider a mini square in the 18s, if the price is right, and the condition is awesome. It's hard to know what the new green is truly going to look like.
I have always wanted a bigger piece from 18S. I have several SLG’s and a square WOC but never got my hands on a handbag. But I did just get the 22A rectangle mini and love it. The hue of the green is almost identical but the leather isn’t pebbled so it’s a little different. I can attach a picture of my new mini and my WOC if you’d like to see the difference.
