Rare Sophia?

[p3b]

i think why those sophias went crazy in prices was b/c Oprah gave them away on her favorties episode. I remember watching it and everyone in the audience got either the crimson sophia or the camel/nude color sophia. Patent is a hit or miss kinda bag as if you store it wrong you can get these marks on it and you cant get rid of it good luck on yours.

What marks?

I love my large crimson patent Sophia and older style Sophia is nicer IMO

Is this black or cobalt?

Cobalt if that's the color name? I always call it navy.

Thank you! I could never get rid of this one!

I've seen patent bags sell for cheap because when they were stored the handles were placed down (touching the bags as they would of you carried them on your shoulder) and would get these darker marks?? I never had a patent bag do this to me but I did have a friend that one and this happened to her I don't know how she stored it or if maybe any humidity had a part in it??? But all I know is that several people mentioned getting this dark streaks on their patent bags and couldn't get rid of them or know how they get them

Me too no issues with mine and its been stored in its dustbag, in a plastic container under the bed for 3 years now! It looks (and smells) brand new too! Its still sitting there as demand has either gone down or people not educated on old version vs new.
