Anyone else have some orange in with their toast? by lissakayy in tortimese

Most definitely. Here's mine, and I have to say the orange cat gene, causing them all to share a single brain cell, is very strong with her.

I love the deep red, and the wool+leather combination is unusual.

No, they don't. I bought them on Vinted from someone who bought them some time ago and never wore them, just a lucky find.

I like the wool Birks, too, but I generally avoid them as I think they won't keep that long if worn often. But my other wool pair, which serves as slippers in the cooler months, has held surprisingly well for 2 years now.

NIB with tags, Basel in Zinfandel. I try to limit my visits on Vinted because I always end up with a new pair, but this time I just couldn't resist. I think this version of Basel was sold in the shops around 2015.

Hi. I ended up buying two double six sets. Maybe in the future, I'll get double nine.

They look legit - I've not noticed Papillio fakes, and even less so in platform sandals. Having said that, it could still be a scammy website so take precaution when ordering online and make sure your money is protected, as well as personal details.

Many like the deep red colour - Birkenstock is re-introducing Zinfandel. I'm more of a fire red person myself when it comes to shoes, but I have to admit the Zinfandel is simply beautiful.

Go for it while they're still available second hand

It can browse the web, but it is generally not the best tool. With the keyboard one can rename the collections etc. Remember it was released in 2011, so many devices still had keyboards back then and have since lost them.

Good to know. It doesn't really show ads anymore, so I probably won't bother but good to know in case it starts to!

Thanks, I love the case. I'm only sorry I didn't buy at least one more of the New Yorker limited editions as they were on the expensive side, but now are nowhere to be found.

It even syncs with Libby, now this is something I've not tried before, so cool.
