Yay! - We need more oldies lovers in here :smile1: The new colours are beautiful too but IMO nothing can beat the soft, squishy leather from 01-04 and give me pewter hardware any day!
 
ehemelay - your Seafoam messenger is TDF... so rare to find one in such a minty condition, and I love what you've done with the strap - never thought of that! I'm about the same height as you and this has given me new ideas.. Gives a whole new lease on life for that messenger :D
 
I started a thread to celebrate the arrival of my HG, a black S/S 2004 city, but of course she needs to be added to this club too! :D She need a little work, some new tassles, fresh edge coating, and a corner touch up... but she is so beautiful and I am in love:cloud9:

I'm pretty enamored with my collection now, especially these oldies! Now I just need an olive flat brass hobo or a monk leather PH hobo and I'll be happy... 'til the next one catches my eye! :p
 
Thanks MichK! You have a fabulous collection too! I have a serious oldies addiction going on right now - letting go of some other bags so I can round out my collection of oldies. This thread is certainly not helping me slow down my addiction! :D
 
Ceejay, LOVE your le dix, the leather is dreamy.

Everybody, wonderful bags, I often come here to drool too.

And RDC, you said it so well. I am a lot more worried about my newer bags falling apart than my oldies. MichK, you're right about them having stood the test of time. And most of them were well looked after and gently used -- I have stayed away from the real beaten up ones. I'm always surprised in what good conditions most of these oldies are. And I've had no issue with fading at all, again, this seems to be a more recent problem.

Chinkee, sorry, I've been away so only just saw your post. Yep, names are familiar. Glad you've come back here. I haven't strayed, still enjoying my Bals. :-)

^^^ You sure picked a goodie magjes! Eggplant is so gorgeous, one of my fave 04 colours and the leather looks so soft and squishy. Congrats!

and bedhead - I'm not sure what I love more - your bags or the photos of your bags. Both are too gorgeous!!! From a fellow First lover, you have an enviable collection!!!
