This crazy Saks sale has to end soon or I am going to be a "bag lady". Yesterday, I got a Miu Miu Bowler. I couldn't resist it for the price.

After searching high and low, i finally found a new clutch! considering my requirements (large enough to carry a blackberry and cell among other things, funky yet streamlined, under $200, interior organization pockets, just to name a few). It's a Matt and Nat, a brand i've been meaning to check out for some time now!

That is great! I have never heard of them so thanks for this tip. Any chance of a photo of the inside?

I bought a Kooba Rachel in Purple from Luna Bostons Black Friday sale for US$307 shipped. Having now paid customs, it will be coming this week.

That looks like a nice style. I have never had a Kooba.

Congrats!!-I'm getting this one as well!!

Cornflower Blue · Dec 7th, 2008, 01:57 PM

Thanks ladies! I've never had a Kooba either but I just love the look of that bag and when it came up in the LB Black Friday sale, I just crumbled!

Bonniekir, we obviously share the same exquisite taste!

The revolve clothing website has some good pics: http://www.revolveclothing.com/produ...s/MAND-WY6.jsp

it doesn't show that there are also too slide pockets-one a good size for a cell phone, the other holds a blackberry with room to spare.

Thanks - the Magenta one is rather fine! I see that it is being marketed as a 'vegan' bag. Have you got yours yet? If so, what exactly is 'vegan leather' and what does it feel like?

Hopefully picking up my YSL medium grey downtown that I got from the private sale with 50% off and the YSL large Muse II as shown in the ad with kate moss

The more that I see of the YSL Downtown, the more I want one. Now you are making me fancy the Muse too. How wicked you are!!!

I haven't yet figured out what vegan leather is. I want to say it feels, in this finish, like a cross between patent leather and high quality pleather. It dosesn't strike me as cheap at all and doesn't necessarily feel pleathery. it's like a thinner slightly more papery version of BE black crash, if that makes sense...

My only complaint, and the tag warned me about this, is that the lining isn't colorfast and may rub off at first. my fingers definitely took on a bit of a "i've been reading the paper" black quality, but it came right off.

Knowing this, i'll be more careful digging about next time!

I would go for it jenova..I have been going back and forth over getting one ever since they first came out. But there were so many colours to choose from and textures, all which were very appealing. But I couldn't let this one pass as it is the high gloss pebbled leather in a neutral grey, looks slightly darker IRL than the photo and with the gold hardware it looks really chic. And it was £508!!! The muse 2 I have grown to admire from afar from the pics of the russian socialite miroslava duma, and her friend natasha goldberg, as well as tpf'ers in the YSL forum which is why I have asked to put it on hold until I can actually view it in person, as what rocks on them may look wrong on me!! It is a beauty though, again it comes in different colour variations, but not all were included in the 50% sale, again this works out to be around £540
