I moved to compassion my hubby …. the Karenina will be mine… sooner or later though.
I went to Dior just to take a look at it and it was there, but the color was wrong!
“I would like it grey please”
“There is no grey Ma’am, if you want there is brown or grey-white”
“But could you check with another Dior store?”
“Well let’s see, I ask the other shops and I’ll let you know”
“Hello? I came yesterday evening at 8, have got any information about the Karenina?
No, not the book that I have it already, thanks.”
And that’s how I discovered at the end that the-soon-to-mine grey Karenina is having a cruise free Athens to Rome: hopefully not take too much sun otherwise it will turn to brown!
Chapter 2
The Karenina is still missing … hopefully it has not been sold to someone else while on the ferry.
Meanwhile my husband has fainted when I told him how much it cost!
Chapter 3
Tragedy! The entries give now for sure that my poor grey Karenina and her twin sister (they were two) have sunk together with the ferry that would have led them to Rome!
Unfortunately, the lifeboats were all occupied by an expedition of Chanel Handbags that are the only survivors.
At this point, since the funds have already been allocated and would be lost if not used, tomorrow I’ll organize a tour to evaluate new horizons.
I would be oriented towards a Chanel since they arrived safely here but I am open to suggestions … … only that next time I’ll choose bags which are able to swim!
Chapter 4
And here is the the plot twist: after days and days spent first in the sea and then on a desert island my Karenina bag was rescued by a cargo ship. The twin sister is lost unfortunately (remember the bags embarked were two).
The problem is that due to sun exposure…. the Karenina is now black!!!!
But the bag is worth all the money spent.
It’s really beautiful and well-made.
Leather quality is sublime!!!
I am now the proud owner of a tanned Karenina bag!!!
Ho mosso a compassione il mio maritino….la Karenina sarà mia….prima o poi però.
Gia perchè sono andata da Dior giusto per buttare un occhio (che però è rimasto incollato lì) e alla fine l’ho vista: era lì, ma il colore era sbagliato!
“Io la vorrei grigia e grande per favore signora commessa”
“Grigia e grande non c’è signora, se vuole c’è marrone o bianca”
“Ma grigia non si può trovare in un altro negozio?”
“Beh vediamo, chiedo agli altri negozi e le faccio sapere”
“Pronto? Scusi sono passata ieri sera alle 8, non è che per caso avete avuto informazioni sulla Karenina? Non Anna, intendo la borsa, il libro ce l’ho già grazie.”
Ed è così che la mia futura (speriamo) Karenina grigia e grande si sta facendo una crociera gratis Atene-Roma: speriamo non prenda sole sennò mi diventa marrone!
Ancora non arriva….speriamo non se la siano rivenduta sul traghetto….
A questo punto, visto che i fondi erano già stati stanziati ed andrebbero perduti se non utillizzati, domani organizzarò un giro di ricognizione per valutare nuovi orizzonti.
Sarei orientata verso una Chanel visto che si sono salvate ma sono aperta a suggerimenti…..solo che la prossima volta sceglierei borse che sappiano nuotare!
Ed eccolo qui il colpo di scena: dopo giorni e giorni passati prima in mare e poi su un isola deserta (assieme ai famosi!) la mia borsa Karenina è stata tratta in salvo da un cargo battente bandiera libanese. Della gemella non v’è traccia purtroppo (ricordo che le borse imbarcate erano due).
L’unico dettaglio è che a causa del troppo sole….è diventata nera!!!! Ringrazio la povera commessa di Dior che si è fatta in 4 per cercare di aiutarmi. Credo che per un mese si darà malata!

Mi piacciono questo genere di borse!! Bellissima in entrambi i colori ! comunque vero, per quanto certe borse ( ma in generale le cose) siano care dovrebbero omaggiare anche di un porta borse che ce la mantenga quando ci accomodiamo !!
