I know the frustration of searching for a great Caramel. :sad: This color/ season has always been one of my favorites.. However, don't beat yourself up too much. I have no idea what condition this particular bag is in, but I know that this color is notorious for handle darkening, and it's very difficult to correctly judge the amount of dinginess from photos. I don't return bags I buy on line, so I always add $200 in my head to whatever the price for a Caramel is. (I just bought a Work that is on its way to LMB while I grit my teeth.) On the positive side, if you don't mind refurbished handles, they won't darken again. :heart:

Thank you Connie, you are very sweet :hugs: I think I actually missed out on a really nice Caramel, even the handles looked very good in my newbie opinion. I'm just not getting my Bals together right now :no: I thought I had found a brand new Red Lipstick City but it turns out it's probably a Coquelicot. As it's from 2015 it's probably pretty orangey which is not what I'm looking for. But this one is returnable though, so I might take a chance and order it just to see for myself.

I hope you will post pics of your Caramel Work when it's back from LMB. If you didn't see the other 2005 Caramel pics when I posted them some time ago, here they are:

Ahhhh. That one is really nice, handles too! It looks to be in great shape. I hadn't seen it before, so thank you! I'm anxious to see that Work come back with lighter handles. I am hoping to be able to use it without worry, but they can be soooo slow. I actually do have a fairly pristine City, but I've yet to carry it. Ridiculous, I know. But or me, that is the downside to "perfect."

I'll definitely watch out for another great one for you. Few and far between, and then all of a sudden two will pop up! :happydance:

Thank you again Connie :flowers: This listing for the Caramel on Tradesy was somehow under the radar, I don't remember how I searched to find it. I think it was "only" around 650 USD which under the circumstances was a real find.

By the way, Bal lovelies, I saw a Z black City being sold on a German site about three days ago. For about 690 EUR. In very good condition. I pondered for a while but then forgot about it and when I looked a day later it was sold. Two conclusions, yes, the HG:s can still be found at very fair prices and I must be very content with my 2011 M since I actually forgot about the Z :smile:

Hi dear, I'm fine :smile::heart::flowers:
I live 40km far from Barcelona City. La Rambla is a very crowded place all over the year with thousand of tourists. We are really sorry for what happened and I'm afraid this is unstoppable :sad::sad:

Stay safe, Darlin'!

I'm glad you are fine aalinne but just sickened by the atrocities committed. The heartbreak caused by these actions is too painful to bear. Again and again.

And this would be absolutely possible to stop, if European peoples came to their senses and stopped this collective insanity. Prayers won't be enough.

I also think it's unstoppable for now.
I see it is a cultural war, east vs west in many respects with the moderates caught in the middle.

On a different note, are there any good restaurants on La Rambla?? It was the only time in Spain I had bad food. :p

Hi ladies!

I have a GCH and I'm finding myself liking the bag, but not loving it compared to my other bags. I'm torn between getting rid of it and keeping it. Two of the issues are I'm so paranoid about the leather coming off the hardware, AND my stuff gets all jumbled. Has anyone bought an insert to give the bag more of a shape when it's just sitting around?

I've never owned anything with covered HW but from what I've seen in my many hours of online hunting most of the covered HW bags do end up with leather damage on the studs. I've also never used a bag organizer or insert but a quick search brought up several threads with info on them:
