My new-to-me-today, Fall 2006 First bag in black. I think she's cute, I would probably describe her as a dark charcoal grey and not totally dark black, but I love that, I'm more than happy with her looks !


My first Bal....and possibly not my last ? ;)


I was a little concerned about the size, but she more than accommodates my essentials.
The only thing I am not overly keen on is the smell of 'someone else' , not overly unpleasant but I am researching how to possibly freshen her up without causing damage.


Thanks to all who have been on this journey with me, its been a roller coaster ! (special thanks to Conni for kindly authenticating for me)

Congratulations Fiona! I'm soooo very excited for you. The bag looks fantastic and I know you will truly :heart: it for a long time to come.
As for the smell, check out Lovin My Bags - they've got a product to help with that!

Ooooooooooooh I love! It has such a cool vintage rocker feel to it. Adore!


Here is a thread that might be helpful on removing existing scents
http://forum.purseblog.com/balencia...to-get-rid-smoke-your-leather-bag-618492.html


And from one girl that loves a nice broken-in pre-loved handbag...... just a small warning, please be careful what products you use 'on' the bag itself to condition or protect from rain. With a pre-owned bag it is not always certain what products have been placed on previous to you and using another on top of that could have negative results. Best to do a test area first. :smile:


Enjoy your cool First! I love mine so much!

Sounds crazy but I'd put a nice smelling dryer sheet in the bottom of the bag for a few days. Better then taking a risk with other liquid products like your perfume or a spray scent.

Congrats. She's a cutie!

A blast of fresh air will help with any odours. I've put my bags in a pillow case before and hung them on the washing line for a few hours, weather permitting. As beauxgoris suggested above a tumble dryer sheet also helps.

Your bag looks lovely! There's nothing to compare with the feeling of having your first Bal. Enjoy!

This is a very good idea ^

I haven't received any bags with a strong scent, but whatever scent they did have I didn't notice after a few days of use.

Anyway...CONGRATS!!! I know you will get tons of use out of your bag. Enjoy! & do put up some pics of her on when you have a chance. :smile:
