I would have loved to be the first to post in aalinne_72's thread "*March/April* Our New Acquisitions!" but my much hoped for Cognac City is going back.
So. I finally received my City Cognac from S/S 2006. I had high expectations but I just don’t “feel it”. It’s not sparking joy When I received my make-up clutch in Rouge Vif my heart skipped with joy, I really “felt it”. I cuddle that m-u clutch every day
It’s disappointing that I didn’t feel the same about the Cognac City BUT it’s also good because:

It’s disappointing that I didn’t feel the same about the Cognac City BUT it’s also good because:
- Now I know how it will feel when I find a bag that is truly for me. I haven’t bought “grown-up" bags in a long time but the m-u clutch reminded me. Like when I bought my first Mulberry in my early 20's, with my own hard earned money. What a feeling that was.
- Now I know what’s highest on my wish list. This will help me keep my eye on my main goal, a beautiful RH City in smooth black leather and a few coin purses/m-u clutches, and not get sidetracked by all the other pretty Bal bags in all their variations and juicy colours. And it’s so easy to get distracted!
- I now know that I want a bag that is new or that looks as good as new.
- Balenciaga, Proenza Schouler and Chloé are the forums that lured me in to TPF, and that keep me coming here. I’ve forgotten about Chloé and PS for a while due to Bal obsession but I will widen my “Cognac search field” to include these brands again.
