Beautiful! Congratulations, a very happy surprise!OK, here she is!
Far better as far as the leather itself, than in the photos. Handles are perfect.
The stains are on the bottom and sides!
And, well, they’re not ink. I have no idea what they could be… almost feel like tar. They are on the surface, and there is a shine to the substance.
Also, there is another spot the pics didn’t reveal.
Front and back, however, are fabulous.

Hmmm, I'm afraid I don't know, anyone else? EDIT: I see @Conni618 had already answered!Since everyone in this Bal forum is so helpful and seems to treasure hunt on TRR, I have a dumb question. After many years of being content with my Bal collection, I am thinking about casually looking for the few that have been elusive. After buying the First Look membership, does my search results for any saved searches just auto reflect the fact that I have First Look? Thanks in advance!
Yes. It should include the items that have most recently been released each time your search refreshes.

They list at 7 am and 4 pm PST.Thank you both! Just wanted to make sure I am getting my money’s worth.
Oh she's a beauty! Maybe if it's not ink you'll stand a better chance of removing it...
It's such a gorgeous colour, just wear it. Or, you could try to recolour those bits.Update: nope, the stains are not coming out.
I give up on that.
Now, to decide what to do.

Any ideas why Corey's info section is down? @RealDealCollection's articles on early Bal bags are such a wealth of knowledge and I was just going to admire the bags again, but the pages are showing a 404...![]()
