Gorgeous, but I like the Cervo Cement/Steel right next to it better, bag twin!
Thank u for sharing your experience with an orange bag - that was a smart decision to do a trial run with a less expensive bag!
Yup, its a lot of orange! Its a beautiful bag in orange thoBut its a lot of money to invest in a bag i am not 100% sure about. I am going to carry it around the house the next couple of days with a few different outfits, to get a feel for it. Thank you for your input, its appreciated
my hesitation might be my gut trying to talk me out of it lolol. Something smaller, as you suggested (a Pico 18), might work a bit better!
My pleasure, i very surprised myself at FP’s changes. Not surprised about the unhappy sellers you saw….i just sold some bags to FP b/c it gets tiring selling myself, but its insulting what they offer.
Lolol bury her
Btw here she is. I did not post a pic since this is a BV thread, but she is pretty isn’t she?!even tho no intrecciato

I say yes, just wear with white, pale blue (any blue) greys, taupes and neutrals. I think it will look stunning, and it'll be nowhere near your face.
O. M. G !!!!!!
Unbelievable find! Its in amazing condition
I’ve only seen a couple pn the resale market and they’ve been well used. This one looks pristine. This is a very special bag, a Sloane in Ottone. Faint. Congrats on such a wonderful addition
You're making me want to add one of these to my collection. So gorgeous!
Thank you @papertiger
i was leaning toward keeping….and i will keep her! I have a lot of clothing in the colors you mentioned and i agree she will look stunning paired with these outfits. I am not going to worry about her clashing with my coloring and just enjoy. I appreciate your input 
Oh, man… I need to run out of here, quick!
I think it depends on how close to your face the bag is when you carry it. Also, sometimes colors that you think will emphasize the ruddiness of your skin will actually do the opposite. For example, one of my daughters has pink skin. White makes her look almost like she has a sunburn but pink makes me look less pink.Question as i am very challenged regarding colors that look good on me lol, and any input would be appreciated. Orange bags. Does it matter if orange is not a good color for you? A very orangey orange bag. I cannot wear anything orange, i have light brown hair with blonde highlights, and fair skin but a very ruddy Irish complexion. The tone of my face seems to get even more red tinged as i age
There is a very good YouTube video about the changes at Fashionphile. She goes over the policy changes that stand out to her. The comments are interesting too, especially from international buyers.
Thank you! Love it.What a showstopper!
Thank you! Sloanes and Parachutes in great condition are tricky to find. People love them and wear them to death.O. M. G !!!!!!

Thank you! It’s a special one.
Nothing to fear just a 16 year old purseOh, man… I need to run out of here, quick!
IMO FP’s changes are due to people abusing the return policy and using them more as an unofficial rental service. Always some influencer at the showroom photographing themselves with H bags.
I am so envious of you living close by. I would not be able to maintain any sort of budget.
If you are ever in San Diego it’s an easy side trip. A fun day trip for us most of the time I leave empty handed. See touch feel try-on makes a huge difference.I am so envious of you living close by. I would not be able to maintain any sort of budget.
Thats a great point
and white emphasizes my ruddiness like your daughter, but i wear it anyway. And i think the bag will be carried far enuf from my face….i appreciate your input, thank you Thats how i found out! I happened upon this video. Like she mentioned, or was it a commenter, FP never sent a notification to their subscribers/regular customers outlining these new policies. Most will find out the hard way.
Agree. But those of us who do not abuse it, will be punished too
oftentimes bags sent from CA are held up and take awhile to reach me. I will reconsider purchasing from FP if i happen to return a bag that is affected by that window. I almost never return a bag b/c i chsnged my mind. Its invariably due to undisclosed issues, of which there have been more of lately. I did recently opt to keep a bag that arrived with undisclosed holes in it, due to the rareness. Hopefully they will not get worse You read my mind @indiainkI am so envious of you living close by. I would not be able to maintain any sort of budget.
