I had this color briefly a few months ago. While I loved the color, the bag was pretty beat up and I wasn't in love with the leather. Saw this one and it looked pretty good to me so I played TRR Roulette - and hit the jackpot!:loveeyes:

05 Rouge Theatre Work -- full set, slightly darkened corners but based on its shape, I don't think this bag's ever been carried:love:

I was hoping it was someone here that grabbed that! It honestly doesn't even look broken in yet.

You know very well who would die to have it if, and only if, it is too big. :graucho::coolio:

I will keep you mind!
I was hoping I might find someone looking to trade, but I think I've discovered there's not a whole lot of love for the Weekender out there

I have to agree. While the Olive Work is clearly broken in and has the "Balenciaga dents" on the ends when carried on the arm, this one retains its shape and doesn't bend or slouch at all (yet!)

I have one more to share, which you might have guessed :blush:
Heard back from TRR this morning and they gave me a credit for the missing strap ON TOP of the credit they gave me yesterday for the missing zipper pull (inside). The rarity of the bag and the credits make this too great of a find to return

There are so many spare tassels that came with the Rouge Theatre, I’m actually thinking about using a piece of one of those for the zipper pocket — now I just have to find a strap that will make me happy

03 True Red First — the leather is almost exactly like the leather my old Olive Brown First had and I don’t think I can ever have enough bags with silver HW :love:

Just realized I goofed -- this is an 04 True Red First
I think both reds (03 & 04) are pretty rare, but I think 03 is probably more rare than 04

Thank you for the kind words, @nicole2730! :heart:

You are so right! All the Dolmas I have seen have a coolness factor to them no matter shade they end up being. :tup:

Dolma is always a green I am happy to partake in. One of the coolest greens Bal made. Congratulations!

After the disaster with the brown Monk Besace that was a no-show, I vowed to never again purchase anything based on bad listing photos...
Fast forward to a few weeks later and I did exactly that. Again. 🫠 :smash:
Crossing all fingers this 02 Caramel Suede Multi Zip Besace won't get canceled.
I finally got the seller down to a somewhat reasonable price. No mirror and a missing tassel helped, lol.
One of the many not so great listing photos...
