Thank you for sharing, Constance, the 2.55 is among my favorite bags!

You seem to be an expert on the 2.55! Do you have any tips on how to spot fakes? Are all the ones you posted real? Thanks, just always trying to train my eye!

Do you own a lot of 2.55's, Constance?

Sorry, I totally hope I don't sound like I'm interrogating you because that's NOT my intent! I'm just really curious because you love these bags so much! I love them too! I want all the ones you posted!

The tweeds are probably my least favorite. That plum-colored satin is to DIE FOR! But imagine how delicate the fabric is, I just know my fingernails would snag it or something!
