ode to the TRIM!

[TankerToad]

So sorry ladies, I must be the dumbest, what's the diff between trim with and without gusset? I can only tell the diff with and without the zip

without the gusset it is flat, like the one Jackie O carried

the Trim (I - without gusset) is the style i love too
and even my 31cm still fits a full size wallet, phone, etc.
it's a great style IMO, and i too pretend to channel Jackie O when I pick it up

Here is a lovely BJ non gusset Trim. These bags are so fantastic and rare to find in excellent condition. I am not a Blue Jean gal but still this is lovely

Not quite as good of shape as the two black ones above but a trip to thee spa would make this BJ Trim perfect.

Gah TankerToad, I love your toile & barenia Trim I.

FashionistaO, graphite...yum. I bet that is gorgeous. PHW or GHW? Have you posted it here? I should go look and not be lazy....

Trim I, no gusset, 2-dimensional
Trim II, gusset, 3-D

 

[TankerToad]

Two more! Love Jackie!

My all time favorite Trim Picture. It's true I prefer the non gusset Trim but this picture is so compelling.....who cannot fall in love with this bag??

TRIM ALERT
Please someone buy this Trim. It is my dream Trim but I am sitting on Ban Island depressed and dejected. I can not buy another thing for at least a few monthes.
The 35 size is HTF and this bag looks Mint. Wahhhhhh.....

This gorgeous bag is now off the market. Who's the lucky girl - was it you, TT?

Congratulations to the new owner- what a classic and gorgeous bag!

Has anyone seen the reissued Trim in store? Did I hear correctly that these are only SO?
So happy they have brought back the Trim.
IMO, the Trim and Bolide are the best all-around H bags!

There was a BEAUTIFUL turquoise trim bag for sale on kaleidoplace last night.
I've never really loved the design of this bag, but this one was so beautiful I was really tempted to buy it. Looks like someone snapped it up while I slept

I so agree! What's this about reissued trims?

In London I've seen a couple of dark brown Trims in store , I seem to remember they were Trim 1 as I have a gusset version and it felt different and slimmer when I tried it.

 

[VnSoie]

Oh, FrouFrou, that is great news! I recall that Havane was one of the colors for Trim in the book when I looked with my SA last October, but I don't know whether it was a I or II.

My apologies again, MsHermesAU, I was the 'snapper'! I haven't had a Trim before either but have always admired it. It's a Turquoise swift II 35, a [J] bag that was in the box unused. The leather is just amazing. I didn't realize that there are two leather pockets inside, one zippered and one open. And the rest of the interior is the velvety suede reverse side of the swift. Yum!
