Hi @MadMadCat! Welcome back, I hope your trip was amazing! I love the Victoria and have been thinking of one for myself as well. What you are requesting is a custom order, not a traditional SO. Nothing is impossible I suppose, but you would have to ask your store about it. The Victoria is not listed on the regular SO order form.
@Pocketbook Pup, that Kelly makes me weak in the knees, I will never tire of seeing photos of it! It could not have landed with a more perfect owner, you must be thrilled with your store! And your DH, lol.

Well, I reluctantly turned on the heat this morning. It always signals the end of nice weather to me so I avoid it as long as possible. The whippets are much happier.

Thank you dharma! I am happy with my H finds, although I was looking for a few more items and I was disappointed that they weren't available. It was a very good trip, relaxing in some ways, but also very successful with the "real" reason of the trip. We managed to acquire all art pieces we had targeted, which is very unusual. My husband was overjoyed because it was his birthday and one of his pieces was his gift.

Good to know about the special order. I will check with my store. I am still mulling about it. I really like buying something that I can "touch and see", but I may make an exception...
 
Yes, that is possible. From this season onwards, with à la carte instead of RAC there are other bags that are available to be SO although it's limited to single color. The bicolor options are all here. FYI, I'm in Europe. My advise is to check with your SM. :flowers:

ohhh....this is a great resource! Perfect! I wouldn't do bi-color. I am a single color gal :)
awesome!

You guys are so sweet. I'm not sure this is magazine worthy. I was too excited last night to sleep so I had limited time to think about an outfit this morning.

It's so funny that I don't want to use my bags right away. It's kind of like I'm thinking it's not for real and they are going to call me and say it was a mistake I have to bring it back for someone else. [emoji23]

Wel, I wish I could find more "real" images in magazines, so I vote for a YES, magazine-worthy!
I think that you did pretty well for not thinking about it much :smile:
The bag is great, and it is perfect with your scarf. Thanks for posting!

I am the same way Pbp, I let scarves and special new bags "marinate" a bit. The exception has been the casual bags. Its also a reason that I enjoy preowned bags to try out a design to see if I reach for it and or have issues with the design. Now that I have enjoyed my pre-owned Kelly I can opt for a new one some day! BTW - you look fab!

Beautiful picture!
I am the same about using (or lack of) my bags, or anything else special to me
I am afraid of ruining them[emoji849]

I'm trying to get past that. I don't want a bunch of pretty things just decorating my closet. And I know the bag will get a patina over time. I like a patina on a bag. But the first mark will be painful I'm sure.

THIS! It is like the first scratch in a new car, or the first mark in the newly painted house. :)

A friend of mine buys very nice and expensive outfits, but since he's afraid to ruin them, he buys cheaper outfits similar to the expensive ones, to use. He probably takes it to an extreme, but I can see that happening.

That is extreme. I bought a backup pair of a favorite pair of shoes and a backup of my favorite scarf. But I don't think I could do a backup Kelly. [emoji23]

I did that years ago. The cheap ones didn't fit right & the material was uncomfortable. The good outfits sat in my closet.
