I saw your post the other day and thought this was Automme, but wasn’t sure
Its lovely! Glad you finally found your Twiggy

Am I the only one who actually likes the split tassels?
When I received the Violet/Grape, I had actually thought they had added the spare tassels to one end of the zipper when I realized they were split while the tassels on the other end were still whole!. I actually like the multiple tassel look and considered speeding the splitting process of the other end along!:lol:

Thank you! :hugs:

Too funny you like yours separated. My OCD won’t allow it so I’m firmly in the tassels together forever camp. Tame the tassels! :lol:

Perfect GIF! I love that movie.

+1 I personally prefer the tassels unsplit, but to each their own! I know 2006 as a whole seemed to have more splitting issues than others.

True. :lol: Thank you for giving us "Muchy". It's perfection. :love:

Wanna know what I gave this whole forum 18 years ago? "Chewy" to describe leather. It took sicko Auntie Deco who wants to take a bite out of her bags to come up with chewy. It spread like wildfire and revealed that all of us yummy leather lovers want to eat our bags.
I say chewy like that is the most normal word for that type
of Bal leather … thanks for giving it to us !!!!
 
Idk how many people use Rakuten/cashback services, but I do... and after ordering all my holiday gifts online, I accumulated a decent amount of cashback.

... that was spent on this beauty!

Thank you to the seller who shipped this gem sooo quickly. :flowers:
Lucky you to get it nice and fast and just right. I am now in a process with Buyee for not allowng me to return the nag completely misrepresented. The last two purchases were a disaster, one I sold but this one I really wanted them to know how bad the service and smelly and different coloured bags they are letting pass their inspection. I tool it to PayPal so fingers crossed. Only one if mu transaction with them was OK, Hermes Calvi long time ago. However ebay sellers from Japan are by far my favorite. I got so much good stuff from them.

After a few Twiggy mishaps, finally found a keeper. Spilt tassels have been addressed and she’s now ready for her debut. :jrs::wlae:

🤎 S/S 2009 Automne Twiggy 🤎 Saddle up! This bag looks as though it should be featured in a western film. Completely obsessed with the distressed and vintage vibe. 🤠

First and foremost, special thanks to @earswithfeet for posting this gem in the Finds. :tup::hugs:

After purchasing, I tried to cancel because the pics were terrible and I couldn’t get a good read on the condition. Kudos to the seller for convincing me not to. With my expectations set exceedingly low and knowing I could always return it, I took a chance. It paid off. This bag has turned out to be one of my all time favorites in my collection so far.

💚 F/W 2006 Sapin City 💚 After I opened the box, everything about this bag took my breath away. A deeply saturated dark green with the most divine chèvre leather. :loveeyes::loveeyes::loveeyes:

Appreciate you, Ears! 🤟

The hunt is on to find you a Sapin! A Day in this color / leather combo would be *chef’s kiss*. 💋👨‍🍳
