Welcome to TPF. First, let me say that I am very jealous of your living in Rome, one of the great cities of the world. I was blessed to be able to tour Italy a few years ago and I wish I could go back to Rome and spend a lot of time. I come from an Italian background ,so I felt very much at home despite not speaking the language and having a Southern accent. You may be in the wrong place if you are trying to downsize your bag collection! We won't help you do that much! I hope you enjoy all of the nice folks on here.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking on the BV threads for a few weeks, and love researching here. I recently purchased a couple of preloved BV bags, and will likely purchase a couple more before starting to collect newer designs. Great to meet everyone here!
