I love this and will continue this, as well as include one that DID show up…
1. Monk hobo-put in offer and seller said sorry sold elsewhere I must take down listing-it is still up BTW. I emailed weeks later to confirm not available, seller said yes it is not available-listing remains…
2. Ink twiggy-bought it superfast. Another that was cancelled without explanation.
The ones I got-a new to me Sapphire first! Just reconditioned so a bit dark, but gorgeous, and super clean. I could not be more thrilled!
And what I was not expecting, earlier Valentine’s present from DH, as he FOUND my gorgeous ink city that I thought I lost in a move!!
BOTH are stunning!! LOVE that Sapphire.. Beautiful leather and I'm such a sucker for deep, rich purple..
The Ink is lovely too..
Oh man. I need an ink Bal in my life. Look at that leather! Yawzah!
Both bags are stunning! That Violet is a perfect example of why we keep trying! 
My annoying story is all about recent returns to tRR.
1. trying for months for a chevre gray First. Pounced on one, an ink arrived.
2. excitedly grabbed an 05 Turquoise. It arrived missing important pieces.
3. some of you heard about the wannabe 03 Chocolate City. It arrived fake as can be.

Like @PikaboICU, I'm a sucker for all purples, and your sapphire is stunning. But what's killing me is that ink city. oh my, the leather and color on that.... I used to own an ink city and SOLD IT because I'm an insufferable DOOFUS.
Awwww thanks! I think it really helped that it clearly did not see the light of day for three years. The saturation is perfect, which I guess is rare for inks. It was my first Bal, and I still adore it!!
I hope you stuck that choc city in the place for fakes to help those of us with an itchy trigger finger and not nearly as much sense as you!Both bags are stunning! That Violet is a perfect example of why we keep trying!

Small bags just don’t work for me. And I’ve vowed to keep only bags I use. But it’s heartbreaking to see the pics…

You also sold a grape/violet flat hobo...
Hope you don't regret that one, 'cause you are not getting it back. 
I frequently use it as my laptop bag.You also sold a grape/violet flat hobo...
No you’re good! I’ve also sold my 05 grey City, true red and eggplant Cities, RT, olive and grey Shrugs, RT and marine Days (regret the marine). I wish I had the money and space to just collect, but I’ve learned my lesson on collecting ( still have bins of collectable glass and pottery in the basement).
