Does anyone have an 2004/5 A tag Holiday Metallic MUB? Or know if they have metal plate tags? Thanks! :flowers:
I have the metallic large shoulders. They have the metal tag in the same color as the leather/hardware, but they're partially blank. Only have the Balenciaga.Paris but none of the serial numbers or seasons code. MUBs would not normally have metal plates.

I must have terrible eyesight, I was getting ready to use my new RT WE and noticed these odd white marks on the back handle…nothing was mentioned in the description, but upon closer inspection on one of the photos on the RR, I can see some of the white marks :sad:

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what this might be and if it’s easily fixable…

oh had this on the handle of a bordeaux Day and could not do anything with it, it looks like it is absorbed into the leather or dye :(

Yeah…I tried a bit more of an aggressive cleaning/conditioning and all that was happening was color transfer on my polishing cloth. The white marks stand out a lot more during the day when I’m using it, I wonder what it could be?!

It is so beautiful though ! I am sorry it will go as much as I am sorry I sold the RT work, but sometimes reason is winning , in my case just too many amazing red bags and grenat won this time.

It is so gorgeous, the description on the RR didn’t mention anything about the marks, but they gave me a lot of credits to keep it.

I thought I would be fine with the handles, but I’m the type of person that once I see something that bothers me it’s really hard to enjoy it (I’m a bit neurotic lol).

I know someone else will love this bag, the one thing that really stood out to me about it is the corners are really thick and basically like new! I agree there are so many amazing reds…I’m still looking for my men’s WE Grenat. One day!

Same. We have 3.4 acres which used to be an old orchard (still have about a dozen apricot and two or three apple trees). The hope is to move there full time, right now we have a fifth wheel (more like a small condo really, we're not roughing it :lol:) and spend as much of the summer as possible there. I just returned to the coast last week and now am keeping the bird feeders full here.
One of my does in Kaleden had a bad injury earlier in the summer, a badly broken foreleg. Probably hit by a car, we feared she wouldn't survive it, plus she has a pair of fawns. They're hardy animals though and she's still hobbling around, it's healing but she can't put much weight on it. She can run fast on three legs so I have hope she'll survive the winter, although she's underweight. I fed her as much as I could, and one of the neighbours is keeping an eye out for her (they're year round residents). The fawns are sturdy and staying near her. I love Kaleden, it's a great community and we're smack dab in the middle of wine country.
Do you have a salt lick? They love them. Get one from a farm store though. You can get a 40 lb block for about $15 USD. I go through about 2 a year. I have a herd of females I have fed for about 20 yrs now. Mating season has started here in the Northeast, only time you ever see the males. A full grown male with a rack is a thing of beauty indeed.

Yes, grenat ! I have both bordeaux and grenat, not mens though, I think, short handles. Those two colors are by far my favourite reds

I looove deep reds, I painted a room in my house a deep red in a matte finish. At this point it’s so hard finding the color/condition that if the right one came up I wouldn’t care what gender the bag is lol. If only I could go back in time about buy all the long handle WE’s…

I've never considered a salt lick! The males l've seen so far around the property the last few years have been pretty young, none of the more mature males. It's the beginning of mating season here too.

We did drive up to a local ski lodge last summer and were lucky to see a female moose!
