wowsers!! do you use them on a rotating basis? just curious which one you haven't used in awhile??

 

[chicadee]

coleyx3 i agree with thesiren, after looking at jackys pics seems that something is off with the shape and the painting edging on some of the sides are neat. our search continues...

thanks for pointing out thesiren's post - i totally missed it! gonna wait on getting one

 

[iLoveCouture]

Great bags baga!! You have a lovely selection. Wish I had snagged the greys when they were around!!

I rotate, but I would say i use my black wk with GGH most I love them all, and rotate and change a lot to get use and my moneys worth..some do not make it out tho I'm not a brown person, so the truffle gets no love alas

that's great that you have them all out so you don't "forget" to use them. i can just imagine you having a wheel to spin to help you choose the color to use that day (like at my local ice cream shop when i go in to choose a flavor)

Umm sorry for spamming the thread.. But I just got a reply from Jacky and I'm kind of upset.

me: Hi jacky, I don't know if you remember me, but I bought a chanel jumbo flap from you two years ago in caviar... The bag came super squished in the mail and it was creased permanently on the bottom right corner So i had to give it away. This time, do you think you can pick me a bag that looks super *straight*, the bottom and sides must be straight. And when you pack it to mail over, can you stuff the inside FULL and the outside with good protective layer like bubble wrap so that it will not be squished up?? I am willing to pay more for this extra care, i just dont want ANY scratches, any marks, or crease/wrinkles on the bag AT ALL. Thank you!

and he wrote :
No, please cancel order, we can't make better. Thanks!


Wow... When I contacted him in the past about the other bag that was squished he offered to refund me if I mailed it back and he said he would mail out another one that would be packaged better...But I said no thanks it's ok. But now two years after that he tells me to cancel my order when I ask him to please wrap it nicely... :'(

I e-mailed him a few weeks ago about an LV bag and his response was similiar:

"How about cancel your order, we prefer do wholesale business."

I was totally taken aback by this response. I haven't purchased from him before and my only request was that he wrap it nicely as it was to be purchased as a gift. I kept reading this thread, however, and everyone seemed to have pleasant communications with him so I figured it was just me

Sanitizedfashion- I stayed in Atlanta (Buckhead) on and off working in 2000-2005 and I used to go to Phipps and Lennox regulaly as I was staying in the Ritz carlton opposite the Malls...do you know where I mean? There was a Hermes shop there at the time, i bought my double strap cape cod watch there, i think it was Lennox...And i never saw a Birkin in Buckhead either...lots of LV and Coach...is it still that way?
All I know is I spent a lot of money in those 2 Malls..the stores there were AMAZING!


Re- Python PS1-If you feel comfortable, E mail him politley (you know what he's like) and send him the authentic pic and ask him to change the hardware to black, maybe that will encourage him to do it, it seems ashame that a great bag is going to go to waste because of the HW that can I assume be rectified.

100mph I have never seen a bal wallet up close either, i just trust T&D at this point But maybe one of our lovely members has one (or knows) and could give us the skinny on it
See Goddessh already helped us...Thanks Goddessh

I live in Atlanta too... my place is in midtown, which is just up the street from buckhead and i regularly shop at the two malls you're referring to. I too have never seen a birkin in these areas... sad and yes, it's still a coach kind of place. lots of fake LV speedys.... seems to be the most popular bag in the city so although i love them, I tend to stay away from those bags!

 

[bagalicious]

haha...that Jacky...don't take it personally Allyn, he actually refunded money of mine before I finally was able to buy the PS1 this month because I asked one to many questions.I compared him to the character in Seinfeld..the soup nazi
yep- No bag fro yoooooh!

Yeah I can understand why you stay away from those brands then, it was overkill I agree I did love Buckhead tho, I had a great time being there.

Bagalicious: cant wait to see your new City....I am still indecisive about the Magenta Weekender....imaging trips I would take if I only had it....and pondering that much magenta in my life

Have a great weekend ladies

 

[blondmommy]

i can't carry a rep birkin, i just can't pull it off...

i think a DM one would be more my speed, i don't want hub's boss to think i would carry a real one...with my luck i'd run into him and his wife, and she'd know exactly what it is

You know what, I thought that too, for a time. For various reasons, it seems unlikely that I would own a Birk. But I guess seeing people fit the Birk into a casual lifestyle and seeing ladies on TOF (that other forum) scrimp, pinch and save to make their purchase made me realize that the bag really isn't all that unattainable. I just can't imagine spending that much on a bag. That could pay off my car, go into some investments or be used to go back to school with. :shrug: So in that respect, that kind of purchase doesn't seem sensible to me.

But that doesn't change the beauty of the bag, its timelessness and the new ways in which people are wearing the Birk. Seeing Jane Birkin in some sweats with her dog and a beat up Birk really kind of shifted my ideology on that bag. I tend to think that just about anybody CAN pull that bag off - it's just that most people aren't crazy enough to try.

Now, admittedly, I don't travel in circles in which anyone is going to care - much less call me out - about having a Birk; rep or otherwise. And there are places in ATL and DC that I would perhaps tread lightly with it. But alot of what pulls off carrying reps is confidence, the accompanying outfit and it being a GOOD rep. Ladies here have really shown me that in the time I've been lurking and posting. In fact, the only bag I KNOW for certain I can't pull off is the classic flap and jumbo Chanel. Not because I couldn't dress it up and make it work - I just don't like it.

If a bag is calling you, go for it. Carry it where you will. And if someone asks you if it's real or not, give them a haughty grin, raise your sunnies and say "How impertinent!" (a la Mary Poppins) and go on about your way!

Cheers!
Coley
