jumped and got from TRR the Arena which I wanted for so long, since I sold the other two I had ages ago. First of all, every dirt mark or “scratch of the hardware” went away with a damp cloth. But most exciting is the leather. So this bag is from the era of the best chevre possible. Such smoosh and silk I have never seen in anything I have or had. Maybe grenat twiggy. But this is way up high on the ladder of smoosh and silk. All that with the frame holding all the pockets hanging nicely.

I just wish I knew the year and the names of these 3 gorgeous colors, on the back of a tag it says 1669 ???

The first photo shows yellow well (deep yellow leaning towards orange a bit, not lemon yellow), green and purple are shown on best on the third photo. The back has three rings to hang whetever

I always loved the style. I am a freak of organizing SLGs in the purse and this one has 3 separate compartments and a pocket. it is not a work bag, a bit big for the evening (there is smaller size and I had it, but the geometry of it is not my favorite, this bag is most itself in this size). So it is inbetween. However, I don’t have an evening life so for daytime outings it is great. OR, why I bought it, it can be a personal bag paired with emerald work which holds work stuff. It is weird for me to have two Bals, a smaller and a larger, both obviously moto but different style. This is different. This style is so unlike the others and the leather is like the others. paired with grape bag or a green one, ….I will see. Or he ideas about monichrome which I anyway wear, and just this bag sceaming sounds awesome.

yes ! That is it ! 30 years ago I married a musician thinking - great, we will have music all the time in the house, I will go everywhere....30 years later, he is playing "The Sound of Music" this month (how many times can you watch it ?), no clubs anymore, at home - too much music for the day - two rehearsals and a show...OK, OK, ....then we got this girl beagle and daughter went away to study...think I can leave her in the evening ? Nope ! Just when she sleeps anyway in the morning when I have classes, then I can leave her alone...and think twice before I go to lunch with my colleagues because "poor freeloader, she will be anxious ???" Since Covid 1/2 of my classes are online the other in person, so home it is.

So what do I collect all these purses for ? NOTHING ! Imagining how I would take this one here, and that one there .... and instead I take the same one every day for 3 months

also trying to downsize by buying two times more than I sell ? really ? :drinks:

I get it, my DH works in the film industry, I can't remember the last time I went and saw a movie. :lol: My daughters are adults, my very time-consuming standard poodle passed a few years ago, so I have free time. But going out in the evening? Forget it. I remember when I'd just be getting ready to go to the clubs at 9 pm, now I'm in my jammies by 8. :lol:

yup, that is it , you know it all...I do not smoke and never did, but I miss the smell of smoky blues and jazz clubs. the people, the atmosphere, the feeling that he is that bass player there and I love how he plays....now all I hear in the basement if there is a tough part to practice.... over and over again the same passage , the rest of the music he just reads ??? turns the pages and "da, da, da, dararara, daradara...OK OK...done"....what ? Where is the music ? I need to hear Mozart's requiem in full, or Mahler, or Charlie Parker, or punk rock, whatever he plays....why am I just reading my books and walking the beagle and occasionally making "buchteln" for when he is back, and then I eat them ??? Then I take a leather moisturizer out and give all my Bals a nice coat, or correct the corners...yes they are certainly beautiful

Can't wait for sorbet first to arrive !!!

Pretty sure it was a limited edition metallic. What's the lining like?

Regular. Listing described it as F/W 2009 LE metallic. It's an unusual color. In the right light, it can pass for bronze, gold or silver. In some lights, it even has a bit of a green hue. Very pretty. hell of a lot prettier than it looked in the listing. Very much like my 05 silver city, in every detail except color. Even the leather feels the same.

Hmmm, in this pic it looks like it's from the stardust line.
