I would like to show you all my Pewter Hardware Bag Collection:
2004 Pumpkin is one of my favorite colors, it's a bright, but somehow goes with tons. I especially love it with navy blue. I haven't carried the 2004 Green City yet, but I will soon. I'm carrying the 2004 Black Twiggy right now.
My 2003 Mastic First was purchased by me secondhand from the original owner in NYC (I also got my 2001 Chocolate Pebbled FBF from her) and this bag has so much natural character. I had to give her a couple of good handle scrubs, but I love the worn in, well-loved look. I braided the extra tassels onto the bag to make all the various colors mingle more.
Next is my Cowgirl bag, it's 2002 Caramel/Chocolate Brown "monk" leather that's been distressed to the point of suede, but not fully suede. It's got the same zipper detail on the backside, without the buckles though.
Miss Emerald is gorgeous, just gorgeous ;o) I wear the Black Suede First a lot, it's also very pre-loved before I got it, so the price was nice. I wear it without worry and always get compliments on it. Plus, Balenciaga's suede from 2002 is so thick and amazing. I highly recommend it!
