I equally love and hate PayPal's payment plan options :lol:.
But this bag here was pretty much a bargain.
Not a City girl, but I fell for this color after looking at CeeJay’s on RDC. :heart:
I don’t like Bal's ridiculously short shoulder straps at all, but found the perfect crossbody strap. Prevents the fortune cookie shape, which I loathe, sorry. And I have my hands free.

07 Bleu Glacier with still intact glazing. So pretty for summer.

I borrowed from my buffalo frame Miu Miu, it’s strap for my new (to me) bowler and it is just perfect for travel

I was going back to this “rouge cherry” velo at FP so many times, and every time I liked it a LOT, even thought I do not go for gold hardware in Bal. Well, today came email (generic of course) from FP “you need this“ and I just clicked buy.

It is not easy for me to pay import tax and return the bag paying return on my own from Canada and then request tax return etc etc….but I felt something for this bag, and hope will not return it. Don’t know what kind of red it is, my dear Ceejay , my guiding light through Bal reds, was saying that rouge cherry had nothing to do with cerise, and this one is rouge cherry according to FP (they are all over the board with naming bags) ….so, hope it is great IRL

I also have Fendi nano baguette in barolo as a card case which I like to carry hanging on the bag soooooo fingers crossed

My Cherry, cerise or similar color to barolo Fendi nano is going on. I can take gold hardware on small items like this Fendi, but it is too gold for me on this AMAZING Bal color. It just isn’t me at all, I am always surprised when I put it on, turning it to the back side out….not good even for such a steal….FP worked always great for me, what they photograph is what I always got and this one is in amazing condition. I will probably never be able to find this color in such a great condition with regular hardware, but I will continue looking. This is a second bag this month which I am returning to FP with tears in my eyes, first stunning Bottega Veneta which was just obnoxiously large (perhaps it was a man tote), in similar Barolo color, and now this. Both stunning, also a steal, but I can’t see myself carrying either. now let’s do the paperwork of retrieving customs I had to pay each time.
 
This babe showed up and couldn’t resist to see how she looked irl. Interesting calf & patent leather combo. I think it was a limited edition for Japan but not sure of the year though..:rolleyes:

I mentioned that I'd seen this in the green version. It's currently listed. Tag indicates that it's from F/W 2015.

It’s so funny how that works…for me, a Bal would have to be a really fantastic color to overcome my feelings of “meh” about RH. And even then I bet it would spend a lot of time on the shelf.
