No photo...just a memory of a bag I saw and fell in love with in 2006. It was a BV Nappa Intrecciato Campana in a grey-green. Just like the color in this photo.

Did this bag even exist?

Did what bag exist? A grayish-green Campana?
Limo would have been around that time but it didn’t pull green, imo.
there have been various taupe like colours as well but I can’t think of any that had green tinges to them, and most were from more like 2008-ish.
*Limo was ‘07 I think.

This Cabat is Peltro.

Awesome! Thank you very much

Awesome! Thank you very much

You’re welcome. Think of Moon as Nero with a silver wash/overlay, and Peltro as Grey with a silver wash/overlay.
*if that makes sense

Yes, makes perfect sense, great description Really clarifies it for me (and others). I do hope to find a Moon also, but i have a Nero already and no silver metallics, so i am very excited this is Peltro!

Thank you for responding.

Yes, grayish-green Campana.
I guess it will continue to haunt me.

I keep circling back to this one on eBay. Something about it just speaks to me. Anyway, I'm assuming it's a circa '06-08 style, so I don't expect it to have a name, but I'd love it if any of you have insights about it.

• Did it come in colors besides what I presume to be Ebano?
• Have any of you owned this style, and if so, what are your likes/dislikes?
• If I were to buy it and h swap out the shoulder strap for a new one (maybe chocolate canvas?), do you think that would be crazy? I wouldn't change the braided leather loops that thread through the grommets; I loooove those...

Thanks!

Love this! Such a great style, and Ebano is , and easy to touch up yourself, or send to Modern. I just got a quote for a touch up of a bag, and it was only 129$, not bad at all. I think your idea of updating the strap is perfect too. Normally i would not do that, but this strap is a little outdated, and this style would look fab with a canvas strap…its so similar to the Evelyne! If you get it and update the strap, please share!

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. If I decide to pull the trigger and get the bag, I'll definite post photos.

Please get this authenticated here on the proper thread before you purchase… there’s a couple of things that are bothering me about this one…

Hello,
So, I understand that the Lauren is released in early 2017. However, all Laurens that I have seen usually have dark brown suede lining because TM changed the lining from pig suede ( light beige) to sheep suede ( dark brown) since spring 2017.
This Lauren clutch has light beige lining, so does it mean the lining still made using pig suede? Thank you for your help!

All the Laurens I have seen also have the darker taupe lining.
I don't know anything about the suede linings, but colour is not necessarily dependent on the age of the bag. I have an Absinthe bag from '08 with the darker taupe lining.

Thank you. Yes, I have seen some older bags that use the color that you mentioned. Do you know what color of this Lauren? Thanks again.

Oof, good to know, thanks!
I would have had to ask the seller for pics of the auth label anyway, since they didn’t post any, so maybe it a red flag that they didn’t post any. Interestingly, the seller also listed it (for more) on Poshmark, which touts its authentication services. I wonder how good their authenticators really are.

indiaink, if you’re skittish about it off the bat, then I’ll steer clear of this one.

It’s probably Violet from Spring 2012. Looks like a large, but the dimensions will tell you. As to it being a fair price, hard to say. It depends on what it’s worth to you. It’s almost a third of the retail price (in 2012), but it’s also ten years old
Probably not that helpful, but just giving my opinion.
