I feel silly posting such an old bag as a new thread so I thought I might post here. I don't have anybody in my life that will get excited about this with me. I have been in love with this bag, since I first started collecting years ago. I mostly bought Rebecca Minkoff bags and Kate Spade bags as they were 'in my price range'. But this MJ bag was one of my 'holy grails'. I've always kept my eyes peeled for this bag, and it's popped up a few times but typically I missed out or it wasn't a good time to buy it. Recently I've decided to declutter a bunch of my bags I haven't carried in forever, and told my husband that I wasn't going to buy any more...well low and behold what pops up in Craigslist...

Well, my husband the sweetheart and he supported my buying it.

I present to you the Petal to the Metal Sasha in Lamb!

Holy moly is she soft.

The girl who sold her to me had said she wasn't sure but she wanted to let her go, but felt better, like she was making the right move when she saw me touching it so gently and then smelling it, then telling her I keep all my bags stuffed in their dust bag in my closet. She got so excited and said she was happy to sell her to me now haha! You know a fellow bag lover when...

Thanks for letting me yammer here, I'm just so happy to have her finally! This is the sellers pic!00u0u_41GH0kAjAVb_1200x900.jpg

What a great CL find! Congrats on your new beauty, it sounds like it's going to be well loved!
 
Here is the grey Cecilia I bought about a month ago, but haven't really worn yet until this week. So far I'm really loving it! It was exceptionally clean on the inside too, so it feels almost like a new bag [emoji7]. The zipper is a little slow and sticks a bit, but I'm hoping some graphite will help.
So now I'm thinking I need to up my game and get a nicer, perhaps matching wallet. Any tips on what would look best or if there actually is a complimentary one? View attachment 4164109

That’s so pretty! You’re so lucky!

Congrats, happenstance! I think that you will find quite a few of us on this thread who get excited about a MbMJ or MJ bag.

You bought a great bag! So nice that your DH supports your bag buying habit too.

@faith_ann Thanks for posting the Chanel exercise outfit and ball. I would have missed it. The extra plugs really make it a great deal.

Trying to decide how much I should bid. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It's Monday and I have something to complain about!

What is this California specific rudeness where people working at your house are completely careless about your things?

Don't move the old wood garden benches and use them to support something heavy.
If you're a landscaping company, why do you not have your own wheelbarrow, rake, and shovel?
Don't mix concrete with the garden hose wand because thanks, now it doesn't work.
Don't use the heavy iron doorstop to smooth the concrete.
Don't move the potted lemon tree if you don't know how to move it without breaking the expensive pot. When you do break it, don't turn it around and pretend you didn't.
If you need to be in an area I didn't expect you to be, like where there's a little garden waterfall made of decorative glass, how about you let me know instead of stepping all the fluck over it and breaking everything?

I don't get ittttttt
