Today I welcomed Ms Kelly and Ms Evelyne back from their trip to the spa in Paris.
They're beautiful! Ms Evelyne's leather (Clemence or Vachette Ardenne... I can't really tell....) had had a dry feel to it and now it's fresh again.
Ms Kelly (box) feels like silk now. The leather feels and looks nurtured. She was showing some signs of ageing on the underside of the handles - all gone now.
It was expensive - cost me 150 Euros PER BAG but was totally worth it. They came back pristine in sleepers (the orange 'old' ones) and Ms Kelly had the plastic balloons inside.
The only thing that I could kick myself about is that I had some friends pick them up in Vienna, as I could have had them mailed to me and would have had two beautiful orange boxes with them
.
I'll take pics tomorrow. I am so glad they're home for the holidays
