You know, I was just trying to get through the month of April without buying a dang bag, but I could not resist this one. I made myself wait several hours before I pulled the trigger. Laurens are just dangerous for me! :lol:
Ditto! Lol. I tried yesterday to get quotes on a BV bag and Rodeo b/c ive been so bad lately, and wound up using the trade in feature on Rebag to get another bag :lol:

you could not pass up that Bronze Lauren tho. Stunning! Had it gotten to 5 days i would have layawayed it:lol:….so my bank account thanks you lololol.

@jbags07 I didn't think that bag would make it to 5 days. I figure I can always return it if I don't think it will work. But you know it will...

I'm a little mad at myself, though. When I finally added it to my cart, I forgot to check for a discount code at the top of the page. I don't know if it would have applied, but they have a code for $200 off select bags. I may ask FP if can be applied to my purchase. It couldn't hurt, right?

Definitely call and ask. I feel your pain as thats happened to me numerous times.

yeah, i knew it would never make it to 5 days. Its getting harder to find Laurens in ‘excellent’ condition. This one will be stunning irl. U could not let this one get away!

I am wondering if anyone might know what this BV travel wallet is called. I saw it on Fashionphile but I have never seen it before. It is reminiscent of the travel wallet Chanel offered several years ago that looked like an oversized flap front wallet with three inserts enclosed (passport, card case and zip pouch). I am so intrigued by it.

Fashionphile described it as a stunning wallet that is finely crafted of signature woven calfskin leather in orange. The wallet opens with a snap to a partitioned beige and orange leather interior with compartments for three inserts.

Here is the link (I’ll attach some of the pics from the page to make it easier).


thanks for looking!

Hi! I bought this from a luxury consignment and was wondering if someone could identify the year it was possibly made/or even the name of it? The serial only has one line, so it threw me off. Thank you!!

I don’t know what the colour was called, other than Orange (it’s a little bit before my time) but it was made of patent and nappa leather. I think it’s from either Fall 2005 or Spring 2006 :flowers:

That's so cool, I was struggling to ID it / even find another one online in a different color, I think I found a gray one on eBay, but even so, couldn't figure out much more about it! Thank you! :smile:

Congrats on your new bag! That color is …*sigh*… divine. :girlsigh:
I don’t think it’s Dark Bronze tho. I found this article about The Lauren and there’s a stock photo from BV showing another bag ID’ed as Dark Bronze, and it’s much more gray. Yours has more red in it so it makes me think of a dark copper or something? If you find the name of the color, do let us know so it can help me when I’m shopping for one too! :lol:

Doh! I just saw your post with photos on the Latest Purchase thread, and maybe your new bag is indeed Dark Bronze?? It other lighting it looks much more similar to the photo from BV. Interesting that it appeared so reddish in the photos on FP’s site.

I've geeked out googling photos of various BV bags in these metallics from Fall 2017. Fashionphile lists the wrong color pretty frequently, so I'm double checking. BV photos of the Dark Bronze look a bit darker than my bag, but Oro Scuro looks lighter. IRL my my bag looks like a cross between BV photos of Dark Bronze and Oro Scuro. Dark Copper definitely has more red than mine, so that's out. I sent a photo of my Lauren to my SA, and she thinks it's the Dark Bronze. She said they had a Cabat in the Dark Bronze recently (can you imagine how beautiful that was!) and that Oro Scuro is more of a yellow gold in person. I was leaning toward Oro Scuro, but now I think it's Dark Bronze. It's such a chameleon, it can be hard to tell!

Yeah I bet you’re right that it’s DB then. :rolleyes:
Such a heavenly color, and I love how it shifts with the light. I can’t wait to see more photos of her in action!

Did your SA confirm the colour when she ran the numbers on the authenticity tag?
