Congrats on the sales and the Anthra day! today was eventful for you! I know you'll love the Anthra day... I still own mine and I used it for months and months... it was just too perfect! I love other bal styles, but I can't seem to get past the double handles darkening. It's not so obvious on the day. Now with the Velo and the Maxi Twiggy out, it looks like I've got more options! I wish sang was available in the Velo... I think that would solve your red bal bag dilemma(red crossbody).

I am so with you on the not being able to deal with the darkened handles, lol!

My other big interests are def. the Maxi Twiggy and the Velo - and I have been researching and I have in fact seen a Sang Velo or two. :graucho:

Dream bag, for sure. :tender:
 
I'm thinking a Sahara city. It's a nice neutral color that would go with everything and can be accessorized with a cute charm or two to give it my own personal touch. Preferably Chevre leather, it's buttery soft and lightweight, as all Bals are.

Btw, you're a professor in LA? I wonder if you're one of my profs, lol!


Sahara City = beautiful! And covered HW is fantastic - it's my favorite, next to the RH. I love the perforated designs, they are very unique.

And while I often wish that I were in Cali, I am actually in Massachusetts.

I wonder if any of my students are PFers....hee hee...
 
Sadly she is already re-homed...as are all my balenciaga bags...I love them, but realized if DH ever asked...um, yea...I cannot lie to him, and on this I could not tell the truth so they needed to go...

Now...once we have met a few more of our household financial goals...I may revisit my balenciaga obsession...until then sadly no...

Aw, that makes me sad! But I think that given your reasoning, it was the absolute right thing to do. :yes:

Owning a bag is never ever worth risking the integrity of a relationship or one's financial stability. Nope.

This is the reason why I can't do credit for bags. If I did, I fear that I would wake up one day literally covered in Chloe, YSL, and Bal! (Not a bad concept at first, but I would truly fear the consequences). :p
 
Yay, purge success. 1 sold, 2 are in the process of being sold. Woot Woot.

And meanwhile, I haven't bought a new bag in more than a month...which doesn't seem long, but it's an accomplishment to me :(

And congrats on all the other success stories and giving stuff to your relatives and stuff. None of my relatives have the same taste as me so I really can't give squat to them...

Great job!! I'm glad to hear that you've got stuff moving! Sales are still very slow unless the prices are rockbottom. I'm lucky to have made one sale this week, but it was a layaway... still a sale though!
 
:lolots:

I 100% agree!!

For some reason, however, I can deal with it on the Black Citys and PTs - nothing else. It does in fact remind me of Peanut Butter Cups!

You are a genius, thithi. :D
addendum, shortly after posting that message, I inhaled a package of peanut butter cups. Coincidence? I think not.

You've seen a sang Velo? bestill my heart!! I need to go trot off and look now.

:lawl:

At this point I would be willing to perhaps sell a good amount of plasma in exchange for a Brick Red Paraty or a Sang Velo.

(And no, I haven't had anyting to drink this evening). :p
 
Hi! I too am a little selling weary at the moment, and unfortunately I made some adds...but at least the adds are bags I know I will like and keep for the long haul...all of them Bals. I took care of my light messenger style need and my City bag need.

BC, on the Sahara City, make sure before you take the Bal plunge that you are okay with your handles warming/getting darker with use. I think you said you want this bag to go a long way, and bbags, especially the lighter ones, tend to look worn in very quickly. It is why as part of the purging process I describe here I sold my Jaune Twiggy because I was not using it often in fear that it would look worn very quickly. I know now that I love Bal, but I will only buy darker colors so I won't worry about the worn in look. Perhaps you are less finicky than me and will love a worn in bbag!

I am with everyone that GGH seems to look like peanut butter cups! I can't get myself to buy anything giant hardware...it is either regular or covered for me.

I think I may have a meeting with my bags before I go to sleep tonight and really commit to some more going out or going to go live with my mom.
