So pretty, I am always thrilled when I see clean handles, lovely color 😍I’ve been waiting for WEEKS for this sweet baby Lilac First to arrive. Showed up today as my late-to-me Christmas present. Sharing her kitchen table debut, another oldie but goodie.

Completely forgot about that Olive, lol.I've recently scored BIG on the Day front. Olive, VF and Raisin. But I also have a multitude of decrepit bags I adore but won't part with.
Still, I love that you love either, be it minty mint or barely alive.
Purrrrty!
If the Day style works out for you after all, you won't be able to stop at just one. Believe you me.
My favorite Lilac. Look at that gorgeous leather. Beautiful, Connie. Huge congrats! I know you missed having something in this color in your collection.I’ve been waiting for WEEKS for this sweet baby Lilac First to arrive. Showed up today as my late-to-me Christmas present.

You are guilty ears, so guilty, showing off with your Bordeaux - oh I have two, no, three Bordeaux days, and one photo after another, one more beautiful than another, and then the RT ???? Well, I went down the rabbit hole (ears with feetPurrrrty!

) one Bordeaux for me is quite fine thank you 😊
My pleasure, haha! I didn't plan having multiple Bordeauxs, lol. It just happened.You are guilty ears, so guilty, showing off with your Bordeaux - oh I have two, no, three Bordeaux days, and one photo after another, one more beautiful than another, and then the RT ????

I only use one, though. That possibly (but hopefully not) third one is very close to getting here. Maybe later today or sometime next week.
I'm just saying, if the style does work for you there are sooooooo many gorgeous colors. Hehe.
The last bag for this year came in toDay!
And yay, it is Grenat and not my third Bordeaux.
The difference in color is so subtle that I wouldn't be able to tell which is which, if I didn't have both now. The tassels were cut short *grrrr*, but I had a spare one from my Bordeaux. Fits.
The only detail that really differs is the zipper tape and color of stitching.
I'm not the biggest fan of 06 leather, but this one is super gorgeous. Thick, chewy and still very saturated.

This Bal year was a blast. So many of my dreams were made possible with the help of my lovely, but sadly far away friends. Thank you! Love you!

Congratulations! So lovely. Though 06 was not the best year in terms of leather, F/W had some standout leathers and color saturation. S/S leather and colors were too often thin, dry and anemic, but F/W was a big improvement, standouts being Rouge Vif, Blueberry, Grenat, Greige, and Sapin.The last bag for this year came in toDay!

Thank you!
D'oh, you're so right and I'm so dumb, lol. Of the colors you listed I had four and now only have two. All four were/are amazing.
When thinking of 06 Bals I remember a CF Purse I had. Color was nice enough, but the leather a nightmare. So thin, dry and papery. Did not like it one bit...
I remember CeeJay saying that Bal had changed leather suppliers for S/S 06 and it was so bad they went back to their original suppliers for F/W.
