I pay MOAR for mirror-less bags!

JK, of course. But I dislike them. Then again, I also dislike the tassels.

I accept your rebuke. Let the punishment begin....

My kitty love the tassels. I don't. Therefore my kitty has Bal tassels as 'ribbons' to play with...

After years and years....I had given up hope. But thanks to a fellow member I received one of my fantasy 🦄....a Red 04 City in great condition

Not as shiny as my mint 1st, but fabulous! Barbara says she may be able to adjust that without making it stiff. 🤔 💭 🤔 💭:
Never thought I'd get one and the seller couldn't have been sweeter (Catash!)

I can't stop staring at it.!

Yay! Congrats!
 
Welp I was looking for a City or First in Dolma green and I ended up finding this beauty that I could not pass on :loveeyes:. It's a F/W 2012 Rose Thulian :love:. In great condition overall. Some minor wear on the edges/corners. I will likely send it to the Leather Surgeons to restore it like new. I paid just a little over $400.

Beautiful ! I like it as is, much better than restored to like-new. It has a character and it is not at all serious wear. ❤️

Life is like a box of rainbow Bals, you never know what will cross your path. Congrats!
 
Technically, this was a January acquisition, but she had to spend some time in the handbag hospital before I could share
Just got it back from LMB today and I'm so happy with how it turned out
She made improvements I wasn't even expecting :love:

Amazing, enjoy this blue beauty! If you get a chance and feel up to it, would love to see a before and after collage in the Rejuvenating, Repairing, Restoring thread. Looks like LMB did a fab job.
 
Suede Bal from TRR is better than I imagined. Super clean, handles clean and crisp, just deputed being suede has that beautiful distress. It has a very light hint of greenish but not too much, gentle color and beautiful suede. First time I have silver hardware and it goes well with grey suede.
