I only have one Plume in size 32 and I always look at the other sizes and wonder if I need more….

A 28 is a very nice size (too). In addition, I wouldn't mind an Elan in a special leather/exotic or strong colour for the evening
 
Your gold 32 Plume looks amazing! Do you take it on airplanes with you? Or is it best for travel by train and car?
Thank you 🙏 for your very kind comment. I have used it for plane travel - it just goes under the seat. However nowadays they are so brutal with luggage, not sure I will any more. It mostly comes with me on train journeys within the U.K. and on Eurostar. I can fit all essentials, plus cardigan, brolly etc

I have 2 noob questions for Plume lovers (promised I have used the search function!)

1) how hard is it to be offered a plume (not mini size) in box leather these days in the US?
2) is the price of the croc plume 73000 euros? I saw a pic a couple pages back. But also saw it’s “only” $30k on TRR (brand new 2024). Does it really lose half its value on the resale market?

Thank you all

1) I’ve been waiting for a box plume 28 or 32 for 4 or 5 years. They are rare and you have to hope no one else at your store is in competition for one.
2) I have no idea where you are getting your estimate of 73k euros for a croc plume, no size specified. If you look at the price list thread, an alligator B30 is currently US $58,800. I seriously doubt that an exotic plume would be more than an exotic b30. Of course croc is more expensive than alligator but not 40-50% more.

It was on post 1367 on this thread, page 92. I was shocked too!!
 
Oh here’s a croc version with the chain handles on display. And yeah, I think the price tag says 73000 euros?!!!

Alligator mini chain plume is US $30,500 so I think maybe the bag Bdbunny saw was 30,000 Euros? Not totally sure since the price tag is a bit blurred in her pic.
