So a few more to share since they've cleared our amazing authenticators (thanks again!). Really enjoying seeing, touching, and smelling the differences between the bags. What a history they each have. And at some point, I will steam out the fabric background :lol:

Here's another of my lengthy introductions. Not sorry, heh.
Just scroll down, if you're not in a reading mood...:P
So, yesterday, my first C tag arrived.
A bag I hold very dear to my heart, especially considering the wonderful and incredibly sweet lady she belonged to.
Sadly, no names are allowed here. But I thank you so very much, my lovely friend :heart: :smooch::heart:
You already know that, but can't hurt saying it again.
She’s in good hands and I'll never let her go now.
I've had a couple green Bal bags, like VT, Sapin, Olive, 03 and 06 Emerald. But this little beauty beats them all, imo.
Some call it "the color of money", but officially it's called Mystery Green.
This beautiful green shade combined with PH and I'm a goner.
I added a strap I really like which enables me to wear her crossbody.
I had to reel myself in and only took "some" pics, lol.
I am so happy I get to add this gorgeous gal to my Bal babies :love::love::love:

Love this jewel so much :hbeat:
This is amazing bag and the story , and the strap. I have seen your beautiful straps on other bags. Do you have a store from which you buy them, someone is making them for you ? They are so pretty.

Oh, thanks so much :amuse:
So far I found the straps on local sites and with a bit of eye squinting and my mediocre "photoshop skills" most fit excellent, lol. They cost next to nothing and sometimes the quality shows that. But if that’s the case, I just keep looking. This particular one is very nicely made and I have another with purple in it that goes very well with my ink City, hehe.
Just punch in "shoulder strap for handbag" or something like that. You'll find lots.

Rose Thulian city. The online photos don’t do this color justice. I’ve seen so many pics online that look more orangey pink. Even the swatch in our reference library doesn’t come close. The color is stunning. Tone reminds me of a deepened, super-saturated 2004 Rose.

Here she is with today’s carry.

I've always thought it was a pretty colour but this shows it off so well!

Agreed, very stunning. The comparison shot helps also!
