Which Bow do you have? I had several, but I downsized to only black. I found that some of the colors were thick and structured which I love on other people but not on me. The one I kept was a black one that is super soft and slouchy.

I have one from the first season (2007?) in Sughero, which I think means "cork" but is a pretty light-brown-sugar color. I fell in love with it at Saks but didn't buy it...and then dreamed about it all night so I went back the next day to get it.

The leather is thick but soft and slouchy, and it still smells heavenly. It is not the shinier, stiffer leather from more recent seasons. I love this style and have been tempted to get one in another color, but have not been impressed with the texture of the newer leathers I've seen so far.

How funny. I had Sughero too. It was the prettiest color EVER, but mine was not soft at all. I wonder if I should have given it time? I absolutely adored it. The color was tdf! I'll post a pic of mine so everyone can see what a gorgeous color bag you have, you lucky girl! I agree about the new leathers. Definitely not as nice to the touch, and they scratch very easily.

Seeing these Miu Miu's makes me really want one! Gorgeous bags ladies!

With BE, my absolute favorite style is the Love Me, Midi and Mini sizes! I just got 3 bags from Ignes which are a new fave of mine! Meet the 3 Virginias! With the added option of chains! Being a CC girl for some time, I love the chains. The 3 designers I wear now are exclusively BE, Chanel and Ignes! I went with 3 since they were have a 35% off sale. Initially I was worried about the lack of structure with the Royal Purple, but upon arrival it may be my favorite of the 3!

^^^ Cool looking bags Sandy! I like all the colors. They are all bright and fun.
Uh oh, now I have that one song in my head...you know... Meet Virginia...by Train.

Only drinks coffee at midnight, when the moment is not right, unusual...Meet Virginia...she's beautiful...

UK ladies who love Miu Miu might care to know that I have just seen one in my local TKMAXX. You might like to check your branches out carefully for them. (There has also just been an outbreak of Lulu Guinness bags.)

Well, I haven't bought anything and I am usually not a big jewelry person but I am a sucker for filigree and I found this jewelry site having a big sale. All the pieces are handmade...it's www.jegem.com for anyone else who wants to get into trouble. Big 80% off sale this weekend.

I remember some belenista talk about jewelry lovers and thought I would share!

*suzi*, here's the Bow wearing a Hayden-Harnett acorn charm:

I love the look of the leather on your bow!!

I've been venturing forth into jewellery and recently bought a Tiffany gold bangle which I'm using everyday and loving it!

ETenebris · Aug 29th, 2009, 05:17 PM

This compilation sums up most of my bags...I no longer have a few of them (the black satchel in the third pic, the grey Bow, the LV Galliera), I have more Coach bags that didn't make it into the photo, and I am still trying to pare down (so I can restock with some BE bags!), but it's a slow process.

That's gorgeous and that explains why it was different than mine. The leather is totally different. Love it! Bows are such a fun style if you can get them in a super soft leather.

Very pretty CB!

ETenebris - you have a wonderful collection!

Now, I am going to have to come clean with a bag that I absolutely had to buy even though I was totally banned and still have not lost the weight to wear Peggy or my shopper.

Meet my distressed platinum Jimmy Choo Mona. It's my HG of bags, and I never thought I would ever see one let alone own one. I owned a platinum Maddy and it was too small. My Mahala is too heavy. I have been searching for a platinum Mona forever.

Here it is... The pictures do not do her justice.

It's gorgeous and I would have definitely done the same! Sometimes JC do bags that just sing to you imo! Very, very nice!
