Thanks Greentea..I think we have the same taste in bags. I have two Trims and I feel like Jackie Kennedy when I wear them. So cool.
The cognac ostrich Birkin is probably a keeper!! Thanks!! Would you still sell some other bags?

Well, maybe the drag, since you have two Trims and have another Birkin coming? I'd definitely keep the Evelyne. I also want one for traveling - wear Evelyne across the body with wallet and passport and carry the Birkin with other items (books, pashmina) on the plane.
The Trim is really well designed and is my "throw around" Hermes - although I've used it steadily for almost 3 years and it looks new! I have a 31 and could also use a 35 in another color...

Please keep your 30 Birkin if it is the only birkin you have,,,And Croc. kelly is definetly keeper!
aspenmartial, oh my could you still try to wear your Birkin? Were you pushed into buying it? If I'm ever pushed it is bad Karma for me and I never enjoy the purchase for some reason...like feng shui. I never sold any bags through e bay by myself. I've had another reseller sell them where they get some of the profit. It might be worth it if you really dislike your bag.
Greentea, I never thought of croc not liking water. Does ostrich like water? I have a black togo Trim with gold I think 31 or 32 with the zipper and a berenia/toile Trim 35 without the zipper so it's flat. I don't know why but I really love them! Very understated. Yes I might sell the Drag but I don't think I'd get more than $2000 for it and it was for some reason more expensive than a Birkin. I like the idea of the Evelyn for travel and the Birkin...very chic!!
Jag...we will definately have to meet!

aspenmartial, yes I think you are right about the Birkin and Kelly.
I have a black box Bolide 31cm with gold that has my initials engraved in the oval...is that a keeper? I used it a lot for work but now haven't touched it for a few years.

Oh my God! You have a great collection...Bolid is a great bag! Of course it is a keeper. If I can sell my cyclamen vibrato birkin, I might consider buying another Bolid...
aspenmartial...what Bolide do you have now? I know I really love the bags with the zippers...they are so practical. I love your Birkin so much on your Avatar. That's definately a keeper!!
aspen...I would consider selling the cyclamen Vibrato Birkin because it is quite similiar to the fushia Birkin in color. It's really tough to decide, I know.
I have 27cm turqouis in chevre (goat skin). I love it so much. It is very practical and color is just fun! I use it daily and plan to pass to my daughter when she becomes a grown up. Yeh, I LOVE ALL of my Hermes bags including cyclamen vibrato... But I just don't think I will use it in the future either. Plus, I spent too much money last couple of months at Hermes.
Ostrich has no problems with water which I like about ostrich. It is quite scratches resistant as well. If I were you, I would keep your conac ostrich order. But please make sure which one you REALLY want to have Ostrich vs. Croc. Birkin if you have to choose only one.
you can use croc all the time (at least i did) but please never ever sell something you still love just for the purpose to get a croc .
save up and avoid other purchases and then go for the croc
otherwise you´ll definately regret it

i agree 100%! please wait and think long and hard before selling any members of your already stunning collection just for a croc birkin. i just don't want you to have any regrets in the long run. and definitely keep the ostrich order - only if you can afford it w/o selling your bags when it arrives.
I agree with all that's been said above, and although croc is my fav exotic, I find black shiny croc particularly formal, and I can't really see it being used as an every day bag...So I personnally wouldn't sell ALL my bags to buy one black croc...You could sell just those you use or like less, and save up for the croc...
