Found a hidden gem....Beton matte gator PHW Constance wallet. It’s new to me and the price was fab! Going to bring it to my store to see if she needs a spa day. My first exotic outside of CDCs. So happy and I plan to use her as a clutch. Special thanks to @csetcos for joining me in bringing this girl home.

This is quite spectacular... enjoy!!
 
Came in today for a pair of shoes but I need to wait until next week for the right color. As usual, I always brought Something unexpected home.
My home store just got robbed. Everyone was still in shock when I came in. So I got a quick visit instead of an hour long like usual. Be safe everyone. It is crazier during holiday :graucho:
And sneak peak of my new shoes :giggle:

Update on my project. The double pocket on the inside was loose as the thread broke and opened up about two inches down. I tried to find a thread as close of a color I could find. (I know it is not exactly the same, but since they used a beige thread that has darkened and yellowed throughout the years I chose a brown-yellowish thread so it gives the illusion of matching.

On the outside there was a corner on the upper side that had opened up, but it only took 4 stitches to close that one back up. I used a darker brown thread to match the appearance from a far.



Hope you enjoy the quick update!

Second update on my work: This is probably the last step and I won't be doing much more on the bag. After all it is vintage and ageing can't be reversed. There were torn scales on one side of the bag, after gluing them back to the lining, there were still visible gaps and the light brown tears were clearly visible. I decided to use liquid leather and mixed the right leather color to cover it up. It is now much more subtle than before. Before and after pictures of two different angles:

Amazing restoration job! Thank you for sharing the step by step process. So interesting to see the dramatic difference before and after. You breathed new life into this kelly and I hope you enjoy her for many more years!

Wow what a difference! I'm really enjoying how you're bringing this old bag back to life :)
 
I had a last minute 24 hour trip to Paris today and let my SA in Sèvres know as soon as I could - on the flight over!

Stopped in to see about a K28 or 32 in some of the new colors (Vert Armande )... after rummaging around he wasn’t able to find anything he thought I would like and we talked about how the workshops are just now back up & running.

But I did leave with these beauties! DH & I just moved into our first place together so celebrated with a Pegasus coin dish. I stumbled across this Dragon Pendant online & immediately asked about it. So happy!!!

Oh my I love the dragon pendant. Can you tell me the name of it? And is it only available in Europe?
