Finally, I am content.
I finally received her after about 1 month and a half, right after a devastating typhoon that left us without electricity for 3 days. After all the stress and heartache, she arrived.
As many of you know, I have been on a quest to find the iridescent for such a long time that I there have been tears, anxiety, insomnia and a "bag depression" that went on while pining for this beautiful piece. This has to be the most difficult process I have gone through to get a bag, probably to even get anything that I wanted for that matter. If you haven't followed or been updated with the drama the ensued after I bought it from a seller on ebay and have the time to get into the soap opera drama that came along with it then here it is:

And finally I end this story with this: I waited for about 6 weeks for her to arrive, and there was a lot of anxiety whether or not this replacement would be as good as the first one she supposedly sent me, I was very pessimistic that seller was scamming me but in the end, she came through. My persistence to have this was unfathomable. I knew there were so many risks, but in the end to this story, it is a happy ending.
I may never have the Iridescent Elle Mini, but the struggle and the effort to get this makes the Ceilia even more special than the Elle Mini could..she has a story behind her.
If the Elle Mini comes my way, then why not but the Ceilia has now become my favorite bag. She is not only beautiful but has quite the story to tell.
The Ceilia is beyond wonderful. I couldn't believe my eyes of how well crafted she was, the iridescent leather is amazing and constantly I find myself looking at it like I'm drawn to it. I am a big fan of "boxy" bags so this was perfect. She shines in different shades of colors in every angle so it was really hard to take a picture of her. I like her best when she shows hues of purple to blue. My hats off to you Rebecca Minkoff!
As I've learned from this forum too, I already gave the bag a "spa" treatment. I used Apple Garde Rain and Stain Repellent to protect her.
Before I show pictures of the bag, I'd like to thank 2 very special Tpfers that have been with me since this whole thing started, these ladies kept me strong and constantly checked on me on how I was doing and most of all they understood what I was going through and constantly pushed me not to give up..
To KaseyHK and msd_bags, I am forever grateful to both of you. Thank you for being such great friends!
Here is the bag that finally made me content...
