.. and here you go!!! Can I say HOW MUCH I LOVE this bag?????? I wore it for the past 2 days (was at a Gem Show convention), and honestly .. it's just the perfect bag as it's smooshy, soft and the fact that I can wear it cross-body .. PERFECTION!!!
It's holding up very well .. remember, I also have the original Calfskin Riva bags in my collection, and they are some of my favorite bags (I have the Royal Blue and Black Riva Velos .. the only Velos in my collection!). Honestly, the Calfskin reminds me more of the old Chevre, as it's pretty darn durable (as opposed to the Agneau). Honestly, if you can find one, I would totally get it .. they are wonderful!
Where did you see the other one? Boutique as well? Honestly has to be pretty rare as everything turns up on tPF sooner or later and to my knowledge this is the first sighting!
Thank you for your feedback! I am always slow to warming up to new things but just can't stop thinking about this MP. Thx
YUP .. from the Boutique; heck, half the time .. they don't even know about the bags! They call me in, and sometimes .. even ask me to "authenticate" it!! I think that's why I get items for less, because when I look at it, I know for sure .. 100% .. if it's not the real deal!
and amazing variety!! 
Really pretty color & LOVE this one w/ gold HW....Big Congrats to you dearest Arielgal!My new-to-me 13 Rose BonBon First with Giant12 GHW!

She is in Mint Condition!!! ❤❤❤ No scuffs, no stains, no wear at all! N the purse has a wonderful new leather smell! Needless to say, i hugged her tightly n quickly paid the seller when I saw how pristine the bag was.
Really a very wearable medium pink colour. It looks very lovely with G12 Gold hardware. ❤❤❤
Wow CeeJay, I know some of the other bags were maybe "more special" but the Red Lipstick is the one that makes my heart swoon. What a fantastic red colour! Congrats on all your finds!
Pristine rouge lipstick on RDC right now, very trusted seller and Corey is a Bal expert. Does layaway. Fourteen day return policy. Just sayin...

I've seen the odd pre-loved Blackout, do you want to share what you're looking for?Now, mind you all .. the EYES are PEELED for the Blackout City (a particular one) .. hee hee!!!!
Thanks muchstuff, I think you've pointed me in this direction before but the problem is, it's in the US.
I'm still baffled by all the pre-owned- and new- Red Lipsticks being sold (similarly to all 2004 C:s being sold). Bal here in Europe are sold out but I know there are still some in a couple of US boutiques
I haven't been able to keep up with all the posts these last couple of days but your poodle is lovely. It's a fun fact about large poodles that they'd make great police dogs but their coiffures and general show dog looks work against them when scaring bad guys

Sorry I keep forgetting you're not in the US. if you were ever to buy in the US however, RDC would be one of your best choices. And yes, poodles are very intelligent and probably would make good police dogs. You never see the show cuts outside of the show ring but their patrician features tend to make them look friendly. My guy, however, is not a dog you want to approach as a stranger...another fun fact, poodles were originally bred to retrieve waterfowl. The weird-looking haircuts had a purpose. Their woolly coats were kept long over kidneys, heart etc. to keep them warm in the water while any non-necessary coat was shaved off. Of course the show cuts probably became a tad more extreme...we keep our fellow in what is basically considered a puppy cut, but leave the floof on his ears and tail!
Re: the red lipsticks. Well, they're a few seasons old now and the women who bought them and carried them rarely or not at all may just be putting them out there in the market. Add to that the fact that it's a very show stopping colour and one that you'd notice more on the secondary market. There are likely to be as many of several other 2015 colours out there but perhaps they fly slightly under the radar because they're not as showy?
