Hello azukitea! I always adore your handbag collections. I have an impression that you have similar taste to mine :biggrin: I have RG Lindy and Barenia Halzan, too. GP Camail is on my wish list :smile:

I feel a pity to let go of H bags, but if it is really necessary, I would follow the advice by catsinthebag. I try to avoid same color/material...(I know it is very hard).

yes indeed, tough choice! and thanks for your compliments, and sounds like we do have similar taste!

Barenia Kellys are absolutely gorgeous and I also don't think you have any worries about it losing it's shape. Mine is retourne and nearly 20 years old and still standing proud. It's such a beautiful leather :)

I think you should get it as it would balance out your collection as you 'only' have 1 Kelly whereas you have multiple Birkins/Lindys/Bolides/GPs. Perhaps you could break your one in one out policy this once :D?

I think your collection is very versatile and colors are amazing. But unless you dont use your gold B, and want to let it go, i wouldnt get barenia. I can imagine some member may say 'totally different bags', but to me they serve pretty much the same purpose. I totally wd get that K! Andkeep indigo one too. If you want to dwnsize, my candidates wd be one of etoupe bags and maybe barenia halzan - since u will hv your barenia kelly! Do a reveal pls!

thanks for ur comment on the gold Birkin, I do use it quite often. So maybe replacing it with a future Barenia B is not a good option despite it has been my #1 grail for sometime.
etoupe is my fav colour so, will be hard to part with the B35 or Bo31
I think halzan could be a possibility since it is similar to the barenia K in terms of size and functionality.

I am really starting to be convinced now that K32 barenia will be a better purchase than a would be barenia B, and you are all my enablers!

It is stunning! I would just get it...and should you be offered another at the FSH (no guarantees)...God willing, grab another...these arent bags...they are pieces of iconography and investment pieces....Just make sure all you ladies get yours insured! and make sure EACH piece is insured....otherwise you wont get more than $500 back max per item (in aus anyway).

Thank you for your kind reply. I also got a call for B... for my case, I'm not sure about color... you have several birkins but which one you actually use/like the most?

I think the barenia Kelly is adorable and really a treasure :D anyway, I hope you will be happy on your decision!

@Berliner Cat I use the black / gold and etoupe the most so far! gris mouette is a special color to me , and i love the most but use the least !! i got it this year in fsh so i am treating it like a museum piece ... crazy me :nuts:
I am going to the store to look at the K tomorrow

by the way, what was ur offer? maybe we can help

I had a gold Clemence B35 and gave it up for a Barenia B35. The Barenia bag is sublime. But I think you could have both eventually....when the B turns up.
Meanwhile this is a totally different bag and it is BARENIA. There's not a lot of it. Nor are there a lot of sellier Ks, and most of those are Epsom. I agree with bagidiotic, grab that Kelly and worry about "too many bags" later :p
