I just ordered the Treesje Mortale Clutch in black from Clutch Seattle - what can I say -- I'm a sucker for skulls! I didn't get this when I first saw it and it's sold out just about everywhere so on a whim I emailed Kimberly at Clutch and she had gotten another one in and I snagged it!

FYI - if anyone has gone to the www.clutchseattle.com website lately - they are having issues with the site and it's an old version of the site with no shopping that's up right now - her tech team is working to get the site back up but in the meantime just call or email her if you're looking for something.

This colour has a purple undertone to it that you can't really see in my photos, but believe me ... it's gorgeous! I'm so happy to have this colour back>

First photo without flash, second with.

Really elegant bag Moonstarr - so glad you have found one that you love. I should get around to disposing of my 07 Marine Mini Bowling so that I can feel justified in having another dark blue bag.

I recently obtained a 36 hour midday midnight hobo from Gerard Darel. It is beautiful and I love the style, but I think I should have gone with the 24 hour probably.

Congrats! I have been thinking about Gerard Darel myself. Any chance for a modeling pic?

Congrats, I'd LOVE to see pics of your bag.

Ladies, I have to say that you all have wonderful taste! Very pretty selection of bags I'm seeing here.

congrats, Suzzeee, can't wait to see your mortale clutch!! I love those. And thanks for the update on the ClutchSeattle site, too.

asbb · Jun 16th, 2009, 06:23 PM

I will try and get a modeling photo in the next day or two

Moonstarr, that Officier City is gorgeous! For some reason, I've been obsessed with blue bags this year. It's taken me a while to find the right one, and I've hit a couple of not-quite-rights along the way (including a Balenciaga), but I finally found and ordered *the one* this morning. I hope it turns out to be as stunning as yours!

asbb, love the deep blue Gerard Darel too!

I recently acquired this gorgeous Wine Gerard Darel 24 hour St Germain, but find that I prefer shoulder bags to satchels. The leather and colour are amazing though.

asbb · Jun 17th, 2009, 05:19 PM

Contessa: that is beautiful! What a nice color.

Pixiechic: don't keep us in suspense! Which bag did you get?

Moonstarr: I think Officier is such a gorgeous leather. Your bag looks yummy!

Euridice · Jun 17th, 2009, 06:47 PM

asbb, that is so pretty!

contessa, wow! stunning Gerard Darel!!

asbb, back in February, I found this insane Prada Vitello Shine Tote in Denim Blue. I tried it on, fell in love, but didn't buy it....and of course I have been searching for another one ever since. I considered getting a Charm Me in Petrol to try to replicate the general shape and color. But yesterday, a sweet soul on the Prada forum posted that there was one left at the NM in Charlotte...and it was on sale, no less. She's on her way to me right now!

This pic isn't quite accurate - it's missing some curved antique brass bits on the handles - but you get the idea:

Looks like BE fans are also GD fans. I also just acquired the Gerard Darel Flower Tote :)

Contessa · Jun 18th, 2009, 12:56 PM

Pixie, glad you were able to track one down.

Believe me.......I know the feeling of regret and nausea when you know you should have, but didn't! it's the most hauting feeling in the world!

Can't go wrong with Prada.

Euridice · Jun 18th, 2009, 01:11 PM

wonderful blue tote, pixiechic! That Prada is divine!!
