Yes, the handles are the Achilles Heels of these light caramels. The tassels and corners are also in great condition. It's like it was hardly used.It's really very amazing to see it in such a pristine condition. Those handles!

I also got a minute ago prettier than described and a week sooner than posted, marigold Y tag city without mirror and strap but it was a bargain. It was posted in finds on VC , then I found that seller i love and trust on ebay and accepted my miserable offer and today it is here in all its glory (looks darker than it is … old iPhone) 
Bal gods are smiling on me today. Apple Day.
Speaking of back up bags….
I have this bag in pristine condition. I love it so much and it’s so rare that I’m reluctant to use it as much as I’d like. Up pops a used/broken in version at a great price so I couldn’t resist. The leather on these is incredible.

Beautiful! I do the same thing. Problem arises when the back-up is too nice to carry too! 
You are on a roll today! What style and year is this? The HW looks so unique.
We are charm twins. I have this adorable balloon dog in a few colors and it is a perfect pairing for this rare beauty.
LMAO! I definitely don't have the problem with this one. It looks and feels generously carried. Yet I love the leather even more on this one. It's silky soft and broken in.Beautiful! I do the same thing. Problem arises when the back-up is too nice to carry too!
It's a Rouge Cardinal City. Based on @muchstuff's research, it's special edition for Chinese New Year in S/S 2013, and apparently wasn't released in all markets. The hardware has a star shape to it. I love it to bits. I remember the first time I saw it listed, I couldn't figure out what was going on with the hardware. It wasn't until it arrived that I could see clearly. It's adorable.You are on a roll today! What style and year is this? The HW looks so unique.

This waited for me at work today , I crumpled all my stuff and the other bag into it and am leaving work with my new bubblegum “work”. I LOVE it !
It is a U, of course, 2007 beauty, and it is so clean except a bit of rub on the corners but is so shiny and soft and gorgeous ! I have never thought about a yellow bag, then I got a combination of 3 2007 colours -pine, marigold and grapeI adore Marigold! But it's a U tag.
Lovely either way. And a friggin steal! Congrats!
once I touched the leather I was in awe. Can’t believe how amazing that year was for leather. So I reacted at once when the marigold city was posted. But it was a battle. I first found brandairauction seller on eBay because they send me coupons from time to time, so it two times lower there, with offer option, then posted in the finds, then decided to get it, then bought, then cancelled because I actually don’t have any more allowance for bags LOL, then asked the seller to not cancel and deleted from finds thread….OMG, what a panic attack….and now it is sitting all beautiful here worth it absolutely
