Suzi, yes, I got it off Bonanzle. There don't seem to be too many listed for sale. I'm getting this for $130 and according to the seller, she's carried the bag for a month or two. The £/$ exchange rate is working in my favour so it is a really inexpensive way for me to try out the brand/leathers. It's quite reassuring to see so many BE subform regulars over in the Ignes forum.

If I like the bag, I might order a new one in Cognac - I was so hoping BE would have a shade of reddish/brown to fit between my tan and chocolate bags.

What a steal. I hope you like it. I have always loved whiskey/luggage type colors. I wish BE had that leather as well. If you order one, let us see!

Nice pick! That was a pretty bag. The Emilia is a really nice style and I think there were some ladies that said that was a really nice leather. I have owned 4 Ignes bags in the past and always was happy with them. I don't have any now, but I found out that certain bags didn't work for me or I just didn't carry them enough. Now, everything but one actual bag I own is BE (not counting wallets, pouches, things like that). I like the styles, the pockets and the pebbled leathers wear really well. On the more recent sales/promos, Ignes has not had anything that jumped out at me though.

I just received a full size LM in pebbled wine that was originally Lionlaw's bag. It is very nice! I haven't taken any photos, b/c it is dark though. I now have a total of 4 TME bags, a MMS midi, Adore Me, and the LM. I think that is pretty well rounded group!

I"m in the process of purchasing my first Bottega Veneta cervo hobo with a matching wallet. Or at least hubby is anyway.

It's my Christmas present.

I can't wait. I've heard a lot of nice things about this style/wallet.

Sounds wonderful! What a nice christmas present...Definitely something to wait for!

Lovebags2 - what a great gift! What color are you getting?

Yes, the black bag is an Ignes Virginia in crinkled patent - I love it! I have several Virginias-that is my favorite Ignes design.

Here is my last bag of the year!

Thanks! I"m really excited about this set. I have a feeling it might just be what I"ve been craving for a long time in both a bag and wallet. But, it's hard to tell. I"ll have to wear both for a month to know. I"m a bit known for getting too excited ahead of time. LOL

It's just I've been chatting with PF friends and the more I hear the more I think this might be just my ticket!

I"m probably going for the Ebano. Truffle looks pretty too. I'll probably have hubby choose the wallet color so that he feels involved in the process since it's a gift. You know how men like that sort of thing. hehe
Sandy, very pretty bag to end the year on such a sweet note!

mayajuliana · Nov 3rd, 2009, 06:40 PM

Sandy, I'm jealous...I love that bag! It is dark silver/pewter is it not? I have the Timeless clutch in dark silver and it is fabulous!

sandysandiego · Nov 4th, 2009, 10:20 AM

Ebano

Something amazing to look forward to.

Mayajuliana - it is the black metallic with black chains

lovebags2 · Nov 4th, 2009, 10:23 AM

Thanks Sandy. I'm SO excited I can't stand it. I have a feeling this bag has my personality written all over it. I've been waiting very patiently for something just like this based on the feedback I've been hearing.

sandysandiego · Nov 4th, 2009, 12:08 PM

Mayajuliana-have you posted a pic? This is my first metallic Cbag.

Haven't bought them yet...but am in love with: LV Cassis Epi Speedy 30, and the Vernis clutch. Delicious candy they are! Without the calories!

TropicalGal · Nov 9th, 2009, 01:37 PM

Oops, did forget to mention what I DID buy! LOL on this last trip to Cancun for DD's SATs. LV Vernis Bleu Poche Cles. Yum! But, must keep it locked up tight until Christmas morning.

Also, went to Tous, and DD selected Mother/Daughter charms that we will each wear on a necklace. Again, no peeking until Christmas morning.

bluefish · Nov 9th, 2009, 02:54 PM

oooh. I really like the Cassis colour ...

lovebags2 · Nov 9th, 2009, 03:14 PM

This weekend we made it official and purchased my Ebano BV hobo and lilac wallet. I couldn't have dreamed a more beautiful hobo/wallet combination. The lilac looks just stunning against the Ebano. Wowser's. I"m in BV bliss!
