#1196: Letter to the Mulberry Alexa
Dear Mulberry Alexa,
The first time I laid eyes on you I didn't think much of you. I'd for a good part of my life always wanted to own a Balenciaga City or Motorcycle anyway. I noted that you were a satchel, and that you were at that point in time in line to be the next it bag and that was great but somehow you just didn't feel 'rocker' enough for my old self.
You often draw comparisons with the Proenza Schouler PS-1. I've asked people and most say they prefer the PS-1. However, I find you a tad girlier and more understated so I think that for now I do prefer you. I think. Yeah. I do.
I spent some time this weekend looking at pictures of you online and somehow I feel the time is right. I always thought the time would only come post-graduation but strangely I feel this connection with you that I really want to cement ASAP. Needless to say, this is a rather dear connection so I had to ascertain if I had the means to fund it.
It occurred to me that I had an untouched Prada Saffiano Tote which somehow after winning I didn't really seem to 'feel'. I mean sure, she's gorgeous and I really like the way her lining feels, but she's a tad too boxy for me. If she were the Saffiano Lux I'd probably be wearing her out by now but guess not. I'm taking her to the shop today to get her valued. Feels like I'm letting go of a dog. This emotional attachment to leather products must not be healthy. If the lady gives me a good price, I may just let her go and use that money to acquire you instead, perhaps in London at the end of the year or something I don't know what.
I still feel quite awful letting go of the Saffiano. I WANT EVERYTHING FOR MYSELF. EVERYTHING. NOOOOO. I figure it'll probably be like my other nude Kate Spade. I take her to the store, find out the store is closed, and rationalize it to myself - 'oh yeah it's fate I'm not meant to sell it' and then keep the bag for myself.
I AM AT A LOSS, ALEXA, TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO. I HATE HAVING TO CHOOSE.
Regards,
S.
