The tipping point happened when I realized a hobo shape I'd been lusting after from J Crew was very similar to the Hillier Hobo... from then I was Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole... I am in love... :yahoo:

My creme/beige/bone Hillier arrived a few days ago, and I am smitten. True to the seller's description, it's a little scuffed/marked, but I've been using it anyways, looking to clean it up today... better that it's been broken in, so I don't feel bad about banging it up myself...

Now, for my Qs...

I've been wanting another small Hillier (:nuts:), which would be the first time EVER I've had two of any style bag... Would that be crayzay? I'm thinking either faded aluminum or wine...

Or... wondering if the Faridah came in either of those colors??? I'd love a smooshy Faridah, but most of the ones on the bay are patent. Does anyone know all of the colors the Faridah was made in? I've only been able to find ink, black, red, and caramel... that Gorgy pebble looks ahmazing as well.

Of course my HG would be a Stam, but that'll probably have to wait until the kidlets are a bit older and not inches away from ruining all of my earthly possessions.

Anyways, so nice to be here and admire so many brilliant bags!

:happydance:I really like that color! I don't think its bad at all to have same style of bag in different color! Many girls have multiples here!! I say go for the wine color just because they aluminum might be too close in color to the one you just got! Great pix!!! :tup:
 
WOW, hawt bag, engababe! Love the shape! If the style works for you go for it! I'm not familiar w/ faded aluminum, but it sounds great for this style.
 
Congrats and welcome to MJ! I don't think it would be crazy to have another color in the same style. If you love it, go for it! I think that the small Hiller would be great in wine.

I don't think the Faridah comes in the faded aluminum or wine. I believe that the Faridah came in a mouse grey color, but the season escapes me right now.
 
Thanks so much, M2J, Temo, Browneyes, Lulu, Para, Pae, Goslim, and SIL!!!!

I crammed it full tonight, and it still looked awesome! After its afternoon bath, I'm seeing a new bag!

Wine would be great in probably most any bag! I love that color soooo much!
 
Congrats! I have this in black, and I love the size! Ever since I got it more than a year ago, it's been my go-to bag! I've been thinking along the lines you have, about getting one in another color. Wine would be a great sub for a darker color like black. Faded aluminum is also a good alternative to black, but my heart goes out for the wine! Red hot is also, well, a HOT color! So many colors, to little money...:amuse:
 
Nice bag.. I have a different bag in faded aluminum and I love the color.. but from the pics of wine it looks great too. I suggest if you are after a darker bag go the wine but if you prefer a lighter color then go the aluminum.
