LOVE PEWTER!!!!
Both gorgeous specimens, congrats.

Thanks! I agree, Pewter is amazing. And when it's minty, it's out of this world.

Thank you!

I agree about that red, Wow!!

I also had a question, what are my chances of finding another good condition men’s weekender? The ink I almost purchased was a men’s version that I had never seen before online.

I’m debating pulling the trigger on one of the recent weekenders that popped up, but I have a special nostalgia for the men’s version.

As a guy, fashionable men’s bags were few and far between in the 2000’s, so I would love to collect them all lol. However if they really don’t come up often, I’d love a more versatile color for frequent trips and would grab the sister weekender model. Might sound a bit neurotic, I just love the little details and stories behind things

Yes right before the connector ring , I’ve been trying to look up info about it but I’ve only seen 1 YouTuber talk about it

Please post the required photos on the “authenticate this” thread. There’s a link at top of the page in yellow for pics needed.

Wanted to be patient and wait until May, my b-day month. But who am I kidding, right?

My absolute Holy Grail Bal arrived a few hours ago. I'm still in a bit of a shock, tbh...

Getting my 🦄 was only possible, because two super awesome ladies pimped me out and hooked me up with another super awesome lady! Thank you so much, girls!

I was actually shaking the whole time, hihi.

Ooooh, what is in this dustbag? The tag is the cutest thing ever and made me LOL hard!!!!


Presenting my long sought after Grail Bal. Monk Multi Zip Besace in dark brown.

The color really is a gorgeous dark brown. 🤎



I'm beyond happy and thrilled that she’s mine now.
Best early birthday present from me to myself EVER! Haha.

Happy early Birthday to you, Ears! Big congrats on obtaining your ultimate HG. This monk is looking mighty minty with all that sparkle! ✨💖🎂

The knots visibility is not what determines authenticity. get a picture of the tag (front and back) and the bale - which is part of the single strap that connects to the bag.

From what I seen the tags match up, it’s just the person said if you cant see the knots it’s either not the original stitching or it’s fake and I couldn’t find anything talking about the bags beside forum so I just wanted to double check if it’s similar for other bags

 

[baliRR]

Is your concern about the knot related to authenticity or just not liking the look or thinking it's a sign of too much wear? If you just don't like how it looks, you can try to push it further into the handle, tuck it in a bit more. It won't always be completely concealed.

I definitely don’t mind that I can’t see the knot I just wasn't sure cause there wasn’t a lot of info on it besides the video I seen
