So glad for this forum and you all! I mulled over it. I went to see it. My work environment do require me to be more discreet in using my collection, but over the years, I guess, the client culture is changing in my industry. I gotten older, and seriously, you only live once. It took many years to curate my big collection.. and i worked hard for every single acquisition. I am proud of my collections. But using a croc! And I am determined if I get it, I will use it and not display it! I feel that I must use my collection. That was why I was taken aback at the first orange poppy croc I was offered. It was, even for my usual colorful bag style, too much colour in ghw.
I went to see many crocs, even from the resellers, but nothing made my heart skip, even the jewel tones/ pink tones in a B/K. A Matt croc was the only one that made me pause then.. but it was a b35 (wrong size). Concurred a black croc in matte will be what I want in my wardrobe. Subtle. And I can dress it up so easily! As a collector, like kkho.. I can't bear to see tis pass through my hands! I am determined at any point in time, there is only 1 croc B in my collection and it should be for the long haul! This croc also showcase my 3 favorite leathers: box/ clemence / Matt croc that I used frequently in my accessories and other bags.. I feel it is very significant to me!
Thanks everyone!
So yup! It is coming home!
