My new (to me) red Bal. S/S 2015. Cocquelicot. My new (to me) red Bal. I'm also considering this my (early) Valentine's Day gift to myself since I don't have an SO to give me one. This one I was careful to have good light and get the color as close as I could.

What a red beauty Jen :heart:! The red with gold looks so good. You are on a roll with two gorgeous Towns in a week — will we see a third one soon? :thumbsup:. Congrats and enjoy :).

Thank you, Minda. :flowers: My wallet says 'no'. These are already my early Valentine's Day and birthday gifts for myself. Plus, I may move this summer and should save money for that. But I do love the size of Bal's Town bag.

I have been looking for a Town! You have inspired me to renew my search. Love your bag!!!

Thank you! :flowers:

Good luck in your search. Any specific colors I should keep an eye out for and let you know if I find a Town in that color?
Awww that is so nice of you! I tend towards bright colors, but love a beautiful bag so not too particular on color. Big “S” on my forehead for schmooshy leather!

I lucked out and finally found the damask courier of my dreams. I was looking for this beauty for so long - from the original NR days. Better condition than I ever would have thought at this age!!! Pretty much new, no wear to corners even - and with all the cards tags and extra tassels. It looks like someone bought her (maybe during those frenzy times when all us OG's were looking for one and only ONE store carried them) but then never used her!? The damask pattern is really beautiful and something I wasn't expecting.
I'd love to tell CJ about this one....
 
Here’s my new-to-me just arrived today, Olive FBF. Impossible to catch the same color twice. But this Is how she looks in sunlight vs indoors. Dramatic difference, but military greens no matter where. :sunnies:

DED. Love this. I have this same bag (actually two of them, I know, I know) in the flat brass hobo. One is a smooth butter Olive version - and the other is a more veiny textured bag (my fav) that I've used a ton over the years. Olive of this era is SO SPECIAL!

Congratulations!! Always such a rush when your new baby arrives and it's as good or better than you hoped.

"I'd love to tell CJ about this one" She knows...:angel::heart:
