Hi,
I apologize, but I don't remember the exact details, just that it was a 35, and it was a dark blue. I believe it was leather with canvas, but not sure. The price was $8000 or a little under, if I remember correctly. Hope that helps

Dira- this is so smart- to display the bags, and to wait 2 days before purchasing. I extended my ban for another 6 months, as my first was not as successful as I had hoped, lol. I am hoping to downsize my bag and shoes and clothes in that time, so that when I do buy something new I will enjoy it more
And don't shop with the store right next to work.
My H is 10 minutes from work. It’s BAD.
So true!!
My problem is that every since I switched jobs, the store is annoying to get to during lunch so I never go anymore. Not great since I have to form and for maintain a new relationship!
When the nearest store is three hours away, distance creates its own Ban Island....
I was going every two weeks last year so my New Years resolution is once a month and only buy if it’s on my list. And to keep my list from getting too long, I am staying away from silks and shoes this year and focusing on jewelry. And if my Barenia dreams don’t come true this year, that will be even better for my wallet.
However, I’ve already gone twice this month....but I’m not counting the second time because I only exchanged a planner refill that was the wrong size.
It also helps that my home store is an hr away.

Don't keep a "mistress" in a country where your "wife" can see the profile. This is figurative speech. But I am sure you all understand.
Omg. The advice on ths thread has been helpful...it is one thing to read it and another to apply it! Orange boxes are so hard to resist 
I’ve been trying to stay off of TPF for aahile so I’m not tempted, but I can’t help myself!

Actually, I think tpf should be renamed “The House of Enabling....Get Your Fix Here!”
My home store is between my office and my bus stop!
I have NO IDEA where Ban Island is....it's not on my Google Maps
I have a fairly extensive collection of Hermes.
Something has to bowl me over in order for me to purchase it.
I also spent a remarkable amount of $ on jewelry and handbags in the past year. I made a deal with myself that if I bought a really fabulous ruby and diamond ring, I would lay off major purchases for at least 6 months. 1.5 months in, so far, so good.

I try and focus on using the things that I have. If I feel that I’m not using the things I currently own enough, then I try to use them more, instead of buying new things. As you all have previously said, if I don’t go into the store too often, then I naturally end up buying less (at least have fewer unplanned purchases).
Everytime I feel impulsive, I look at a pic of my H collection and tell myself I have an amazing, well curated collection... which i actually do, so that helps. So far, no impulse buys in 2019.
Ditto! It is the house of enabling. Just when I think I’m satisfied, then I see all the beauty here with member’s collections.I question whether trying to stay off tpf will work for anyone here.
