Okay, so first of all, let me start by saying it takes me MONTHS to decide what bag I want to buy. Why? Because I rarely buy bags and normally spend all my money on designer clothing, not accessories. That's where my story begins...
...In October I fell head over heels for the Givenchy Mini Pepe Pandora--it was exactly what I was looking for-a messenger, crossbody and on the smaller side. Plus, it still had the capacity to hold an attractive amount. I decided I would wait to get it in the green from Fall 2012 that Barneys had listed online--what do you know, it sold out--everywhere! Barneys, Ssense and FarFetch.
So, I move on until I find it in this color called Sky Blue, from Summer 2013. For the price, I didn't want another basic black bag, plus I already own two. I wait, think about it. I'm a guy so I wanted to be sure about the color. Eventually I closed in on it--the blue reminded me of the ocean and I needed it. It came, I loved it and immediately started using it and got loads of compliments---this is one unique bag, the shape, the color--everything about it was great...
...until dyes from various articles of clothing started changing it colors/transferring onto it. First grey. Then green(I don't wear green, so I'm not even sure how that happened) THEN BROWN!!! A magic eraser got most of it off (yeah, I know, scary), but I don't want to have to clean it every time I wear my bag, nor should I have to! I am so upset! I don't know what to do! I am very particular and this just will not do! Plus, I really do not like LeatherSpa!
So my question to you is this: do I sell it? It feels so weird to sell anything because I literally collect clothing in hopes to one day dedicate to museums--I rarely part with any fashion related object. I'm talking Raf Simons, Margiela--brands right up their with Givenchy in the fashion hierarchy. I love the bag and the color, but I don't love this color issue. I wouldn't even know where to begin in regard to selling it! If I do sell it, I think I'd get a medium black Pandora, again in the Pepe leather. I really just need some advice. This is certainly not my area of expertise, as I once thought. It was such an intense build up, that I guess I feel a little let down. I know it sounds silly, but still! Advice would be lovely!
