Congrats! I love Thundercats! I bought the first season and watching it as an adult it cracks me up with all the cheesy lessons in them!

Haha! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, I should look for some clips on YouTube!

Congratulations! I hope there are other Juicy buyers out there!

I've sold to a few repeat buyers on ebay. One sent me a card in the mail after the first sale. I think she thought I was magical because she loved the bag so much. I don't think she loved the second one as much. She never came back after that. Another one loved the first but returned the second. So I don't get excited when I get repeat business.

Oh that’s too bad about the return! Hopefully she likes it, it’s a totally different style than the Coach bag she bought. They’re both animal print so maybe that’s her thing [emoji23]

I just think some people have no clue. They don't think about how it is going to slide around in the box and might get wet. When I wrap, it is sometimes overkill. I think about all the things that could wrong and wrap accordingly. I stuff if necessary so it will keep its shape. I wrap in tissue and put in a plastic bag before putting it in the box. I fill the box with crumpled newspaper to protect it on all sides. For smaller items that I'm shipping in a padded envelope, I usually make a sleeve of cardboard for extra protection. Sometimes I use styrofoam from unused takeout containers. I'm sure some of my buyers think I'm obsessive.

I do the same. I’ve been collecting the paper stuffing from my online ordering and I save it to use as padding. I like to be able to shake the box when everything’s inside and not hear any jiggling. Then I know it’s secure in there.

Same I have boxes of air paper stuffs from amazon that I use for shipping ( and in my own bags)

I save every bit of packing material and boxes I get and then reuse it. I buy my own tissue paper but that is about it. Everything else I use is recycled, other than tape of course.

I do most of that too. I don't want anything sliding in a box or getting wet. Always stuff a bag.

Omg, I broke down and bought another black bag. I blame this entirely on @houseof999 because she mentioned the black woven Grace was on sale on the Roots website (thank you, house! I love my new bag). By the time I checked it out, the woven Grace was sold out but another bag I have had my eye on was still on sale and available.

Here's small Gracie in box leather with raspberry lining! Oh, she is such a cutie!

Gracie is a smaller version of mine and @HesitantShopper 's black Grace which are Prince leather. I love the quilted leather, rolled handles, adjustable shoulder strap and brass hardware in a style I already know works for me. While she seems similar to my Sophie and Nolita Prairie Bud, I prefer the soft, wide shoulder strap which is easily adjustable to go from decorative to a functional shoulder or Crossbody strap. Sophia's shoulder strap is too short, and I find the Nolita is not a good shoulder bag as she's too wide at the base and sticks out on me.

Because the Gracie is soft and pliable, I think I have finally found a good travel handbag as I could pack it if needed, it fits in my Longchamp totes and it can easily go from day (shoulder) to night (handheld). She's "Made in Canada" so I know she's tough and can go the distance.

ML, would you say that Roots gives an accurate description of the dimensions of a bag? I am very interested in a tote but the picture makes it look skinnier than the dimensions imply. I need a tote for work and want one that will last.

I just don’t understand how anyone can ship a bag in anything but a box. To me, even a padded envelope is not acceptable. I think besides my Nomad from Macy’s that was shipped in a bag, I received two bags in padded envelope/polybag (my NWT Dakotah and a preloved Bal). Even if it is a soft leather bag, it can be crushed or damaged. My LC Pliage Neo was shipped in a box — which was surprising but nice.

Very nice! I love black bags! Black is classic and the pink lining is fun. Enjoy her!

Oh wow, what a gorgeous bag. I love the quilted look and the raspberry lining. So pretty and elegant. You made me look at the Roots website just now, lol. I saw that gorgeous small black box/woven Grace with the pink lining. I didn’t see yours though (I like the quilted leather). This is seriously one good looking bag. Congrats and enjoy ML.

I need to look at the website. [emoji5]

I sold another bag yesterday! It was the juicy one I mentioned someone was interested in, I sent them a few messages and more pics to answer their questions so I was excited to see a notification that I had an offer on it! Well turns out the offer was from someone else [emoji33] I accepted it because it was a very fair offer and a repeat customer!

The last bag I sold to her she loved so much and sent me a sweet message about how well it was packaged and it must have been loved because it was so clean [emoji23]

I sold a juicy couture bag, this is grounds for a celebration on the island! Party Planning Committee ASSEMBLE! *raises sword like a Thundercat*

Oh wow congrats!! Was that the last bag you had for sale?

Same here. I do a lot of online shopping so I save packaging I get from my shipments and reuse (as long as it’s clean). My bags are wrapped to the nines as well.

It was a Coach Kristen [emoji1]

Next time I say something crazy about maybe I don’t need my black rogue 36 I give you all permission to slap my silly [emoji12] I’ve spent the last 2 days fondling her (maybe sniffing her a bit but we won’t talk about that).
