To Spa or Not to Spa

[Cinderlala]

OK, so as I posted yesterday my DH surprised me with a pre-loved Black Box Kelly.

Since the bag is older, it really does need to go to the spa, but I'm having a hard time parting with it already for 6-8 weeks. I'm pretty sure I should send her to the spa now, but it's just so hard for me to part with her, KWIM? However, we will be going to Europe in about 8 weeks & I would love to take my lovely new bag. I just can't decide!

What do you think:

KEEP-Should I keep her & use her through fall & winter, even though a spa trip is necessary?

SPA-Or, should I send her off now & have her back---and better than ever---before fall really starts?


Input, anyone?

I am hardly an expert, but I think I would send her off for a spa treatment now. Then you will have her back for your trip and the entire winter, looking gorgeous. I know it is hard to part with her for even a little while, but she will be perfect when she arrives home to you.

I say send her to the spa so she is looking her best for Europe, plus it will feel like a new bag to you!

I'd send her now, but doesn't spa take about 3 months?

 

[Luccibag]

My spa treatment took 5 weeks exactly. That's what was quoted to me as well.

Keep her and spa later.
Give her a good Meltonian (neutral colour) drink and polish her nicely and she'll last till next spring when you can send her to the spa. By then you'll have another H bag anyway.

I agree with Hello. Keep her and enjoy her!

Me three! I have the same one and I would have preferred not leaving her at the spa for 6 weeks.

I think you should spa her now so that you could take her in your travels looking fresh and beautiful

 

[leap of faith]

They told me mine would take 8 weeks too

 

[guccigal07]

take her now....because you get into fall...so she is back fresh to use until late spring.

If her condition looks like she needs to go then I would take her now.

Cinder, I was just thinking...I think you should take her in and let Claude take a look at her. Maybe this Kelly is really very dark navy blue:blink:
