I don't know what is going to happen to my cousins cat Smokey
I think he is going to end up living with us which is going to be like living in Hell
Wicky and Smokey did not get along the last time they lived together and we were in a house then now we are in an apartment it will be even worse
Plus Smokey has claws and he did a number on the furniture last time I can only imagine what he is like now that he has had no discipline whatsoever for the last 4 years
The person that has him now told us that the bldg asked for another $300 pet deposit for Smokey
I don't understand this since she already had 1 cat
We don't want to give him to the shelter because they will put him down because of his age
Poor Smokey

I'm so in love with glicine that I decided to add a pair of the sneakers. (I'm on my iPad so I have no idea how to reduce the size of the photo. I suspect it will be large, as all my iPad photos seem to be.....).
Yup....it's big. Oops.

wear them well!
Who cares how "big" - the better to show off the gorgeous saturated color! Yum!!!
Good morning-I have been a member, used all your great references as I bought pre-loved BV's, and read threads for a several reads. Now for a post full of questions.
I just bought a 2005 Ball in Ivory that is quite soiled but the leather is in very good condition. I have wanted a bright blue BV for a while, so I thought I might have this one dyed. So, my questions..
1. Has anyone had luck having the color of an intrecciato bag changed.
2. What is the name, and number if known, of the brightest blue BV has had in recent years.
3. Is Modern Leather in NY still the most reliable place to have the bag dyed? (I had a very old style BV python bag dyed there several years ago, but that was not a color change, and I have no recent experience).

2015/2016 was Bluette, nappa pouch
2016 AW was Peackock, cervo hobo
there was also Signal blue right before, somewhere in 2014-2015?
but all these new colours are not coded, at least not for us, the Buyers, the tags are one line of random numbers and letters, useful only for SAs.

I can attest to Modern Leather being the most reliable place - I'm not sure if they'll do a color change, but I sent a dirty worn yellow BV wallet there to be repaired and they made it new and yellow again. Perhaps they can make your Ivory Ball "Ivory" again ...
Thanks to Ksuromax and Indiaink for such fast replies. I think I will call Modern Leather Goods and discuss...Whichever option I end up with I will post before and after..
Just got this great little video of Rhyn trying to make his bed on the couch next to Zoey, who stays surprisingly calm about the whole thing. Enjoy!
This morning I received an email offering a 25% discount at NM on a register priced item. It was from the handbag department. I have never purchased a BV (or other bag) from NM. Nor do I have any specific store credit cards, including theirs. I do order Eileen Fisher (online) from them but that's it. I thought I'd post this in case anyone who didn't get it wants to take advantage of the discount. It does say that exclusions apply. I'm betting that red lido is excluded................. sorry it's so big...I'm on my iPad. (it's lonely here on Ban Island)

This looks like a brighter Quetsche. I wonder if they have the Cervo loop in Glicine.
It reminds me of a lighter brighter questsche too. I was told the glicine cervo loop is at NM (and I saw it online there) and the cervo baseball bag is in the boutique (I don't know if it's at NM). I wonder if the sale applies to BV......
