First, condolences to everyone on the loss of CeeJay. I have never carried Balenciaga (expensive, not a fan of lots of hardware and hanging doodads on my purses), but I do remember when she passed last year. Anyhow, I carried Coach for decades, lately it has been the soft tabby hobo, and while I like leather and the size, I decided to try something different. I picked up CeeJay's 2008 Black Cherry City, which arrived today, and this is one beautiful bag. Love, love, love the leather and the color, size is perfect, and handles and strap make more sense than on the tabby hobo. So pleased to be able to share this special memory of a special lady. Already changed out from my Coach, and ready to go once I clip the tag.

Thank you, Kimbashop.

Thank you, Kmora. I am old enough to be retired, but I intend to enjoy it for many years. I really, really like that Black Cherry color and the leather.

Thank you for posting this, Rose100. (Do read the attachment, folks.) What a beautiful and poignant memory from CeeJay. So glad she shared her hour on the stage of life with us. I have been enjoying her Bal-a-Palooza thread so much. And, this thread is one way to keep her candle glowing for a just little longer.

As @Deco warned, and as I suspected, CeeJay's 2008 Black Cherry is only the beginning for me. :oh: This gorgeous deep red color is terrific with my winter wardrobe, but our short summer is almost here and I need a purse in a summer color. I love the provenance of these bags, coming as they do from CeeJay's collection. Today I welcomed her 2006 Origan Chevre City bag home. I was looking for a lighter color bag for the season, but something more interesting than a taupe or a beige. And, I really wanted to see a chevre. I read one poster who said that the 2006 Origan (a light olive green) paired well with many neutrals, so I finally pulled the trigger. She is all loaded up and ready to go tomorrow as soon as I clip the return tag. I have to laugh at how she is just a shade darker than the cushions for my outdoor furniture. I'm sure we are going to get along well.

I see that you went head first smiling straight into the Balenciaga addiction :lol:

Oh!
Ok, thank you.
That’s a lot of bags that he kept.

The red bags aren’t really moving, are they?
And I keep looking at the mimosa one. No one seems to be grabbing it.

She's probably waiting for you, Rose. Great condition bag, good price, but I find it sooooo very yellow.

BTW, I did pick up the pampered Tomato red. It is enroute now.
