That’s like a third (?) the price of a CSGM...that’s the cost of raw material?

Yes 8 skeins of cashmere!

Yes 8 skeins of cashmere!

Been there, done that and will be wearing the skirt eventually.

Yep! They each have their use and purpose. There is a hierarchy but since the H game is so complex I will take them as I find them. Fingers crossed I have some luck in Paris this year. If not, I have other priorities for the rest of the year, and H will have to take a hiatus for a while. C’est la vie.

Bon chance en Paris!

Thanks grace and paper tiger ! My hand needs a rest. I do want to try my hand at this cashmere wrap at some point. Blue is my color lol.

Genie I hope you have good luck. A birkin is a great day bag !!

I think you could easily make the skirt that you like. There are great variegated yarns out there and I bet you could figure out the asymmetrical hem if you still wanted it.

One more pic of scarf for genie View attachment 4028019

This is so cool pigleto!

Oh yeah, back to the B - I forgot to mention first preference is GHW.

The handle drop is my big reservation on the B25 - I wear a coat or jacket 9-11 months of the year. And the 35 is too big and heavy for me. I could wear a B30 year round.

@nicole0612 thanks for the pics - both colours are gorgeous - I’m a fan of cool colours so these are both neutrals in my wardrobe too. They pop with navy, grey, black, taupe and pink.

GHW is lovely, just be aware that it changes the appearance of some colors slightly (makes them warmer, it brings out the brown undertones in some colors and brings out the red undertones in purple). I have both HW and love both

I looooooove contrast linings, contrast stitching, contrast hems, color blocking, all that. That green is fab. Is this an inspiration pic or something you own?

Thank you! I really love contrast everything also. These are mine, the photos I could find quickly at 1am

What is the combo on this Kelly? If they only showed me something like this - I would not turn it down.

I guess the point is that it would be my first B or K so the wish list is wide open. The second one gets trickier if one is trying to get a comprehensive bag-collection. Similar to my scarf selection process.

Togo Vert Anis/Vert Fonce.
Yes, the first one can be a wider list but of course make sure it fits within your overall collection plans.

What a beautiful purple, Nicole. This bag looks so lovely on you.

Thank you DM! I really love jewel tones.

 

[nicole0612]

Beautiful bags! Love the vert lining and it makes it easier to find thing too. So funny what you say about Kellys. I don’t like to have my bag open all the time, which I pretty much do with a Birkin, so the Kelly is more my bag because I can use the turn lock and/or use one of the straps as well when closing. I don’t even notice the time it takes to close the bag.

I love to have my bag open all of the time! I seem to be reaching for some little thing every minute or two! Though with smart watches and keyless car entry this has definitely decreased in the last few years.
