Yeah, I know what you mean about it being too much.

By the way, those braids r super-funky!

Because the mirror is hanging soooo much, I'd just be too scared to break it, and if its going to happen to someone - it will happen to me!

Thanks for the pics... gorgeous colour too

By the way... I have another question "another oneeeeeee?"
Do you guys stuff your B-bags or let them flop? I only got mine yesterday, so I've still got some stuffing in it but just wondering if I should leave it in or take it out?
I wont be using it till I get my LovinMyBag products anyway, but just thought I'd see what others are doing - and if either method is better/ worse for the bag?

:yes: Yup, I stuff them. I used to store them empty, laying flat with the bottom of the bag folded to the bag back, like you fold and put away paper grocery bags. But I started noticing it could get creases that way. I don't know if Bal boxes are more are tight, but my LV boxes have plenty of air circulation. You can see in my avitar picture how I store all my bags, shoes, and accessories the same way. In dustbags and in LV boxes. I have also heard about things getting moldy, but I have not had this problem either. I grabbed some boxes (since my dh is sleeping in our bedroom, I had to take photos in my workout room) from my closet, to show you photos of how I store them...stuffed to the entire shape of the bag with clean white t-shirts, one dryer sheet per bag, in a clean dustbag, and in a LV box that has extra room in it for air circulation. Once again I am revealing what a freak I am about how I care and store by bags and such.
:shame:

The Balenciaga box is pretty tight fitting with each peice and I agree, that much air wouldnt get in!

I've just stuffed my Twiggy - but must admit it isnt with white tshirts. It's with all of my clothing that has piled up in my extra 'clothes, bag & shoes room' that I dont wear!

I think I will be using my Twiggy quite regularly, once I have conditioned it, so I dont think mould will be a problem for me! :)

Its good that you look after your prized possessions... as I always tell my partner "bags are assets!"

:shame: Sorry about my typos! Of course I meant, Bal bags may be more of a tight fit. I phrased it as a maybe because of buying all 05's, I have never seen a Balenciaga bag inside it's original box. I'm sure the color of the clothes shouldn't matter unless it's something that could bleed. I agree on the assets. My LV Fringe Bucket is the most expensive bag I own, and my hubby and kids make fun of me for being so crazy about how I take care of it and my Bal-bags. I always tell them what would be crazy is if I spent over a $1,000 on a bag and NOT take care of it. That would not only be crazy, it would be stupid!

For sure...

But men dont really understand that. A good bag will never go out of fashion, and can even go up in value!

But anyway... my boyfriend got this one for me, and he doesnt understand the meaning of it, but he said "if it makes you happy, then I'm happy"

I made him aware, that now he has started, he cant stop! Next year I will get a first (classique) then move on up from there!

He's in for an expensive relationship! Hehe...

What do you think of the Chloe Paddington? I've had my eye on them for a while and was thinking of getting one at the start of next year (Tobacco colour)

i put my mirror away in the zipper compartment in front of the bag...i guess i don't like it hanging around when i carry my bag

but actully it looks way cuter when the mirror are hanging outta the bag :)

I never wear my bag with the mirror on it.
I think it looks the best when U carry the bag with the mirror hanging outside.:love:
But i`m afraid that it will break or someone pulls it of.:crybaby:
So thats why i store it in my Balenciag box with the dustbag.

I put my mirror in the outside pocket and let the tassels hang out and mingle with the pocket-zipper tassels. But then, I like lots of fringe!

Chloe leather is amazing, but I found them really heavy. The paddington satchel didn't work well for me, but I had a paddy shoulder bag for a while that was awesome.

Congrats on your 1st BBag^,^
I attach mine on one of the handle sometimes, and other times I just throw them inside the bag(I know, boring, I'm not that creative, lol)

I dont carry or use the mirrors. So they all sit in a dresser drawer in a smaller dustbag. I do keep the extra tassels and tags and receipts in the inside pocket of the bag though. Since I dont use it since the inside pockets are so shallow. My cell I keep in the outside pocket.

Thanks all for your help!

After much consideration, I have taken the tassell of the mirror and kept it as a spare, and now have the mirror on the inside pocket of the bag so it wont get broken, but I can still use it!

I'm just toooo clumsy to keep it hanging out...

I love your charms deana! Very cute! May I ask where you got it??

I do not use the mirror and just leave it in the dustbag. I dont want to scratch it with all the stuff I have in my bag.

:shame: Unfortunately, the charms on my pink city and my turq twiggy are from LV bags and not sold seperately. But I have had luck in finding a leather source (not Balenciaga) so I am ready to make braids and charms to sell. If you're interested you can write me at [email protected] With my jewelry design/making background I have access to wholesale company's that have every charm or pendant imaginable. Literally thousands of choices!
:heart:
I do wish LV would sell theirs seperately though!!!!!
