I was just casually browsing the BV site..... they have the ferro sloane!!

Did they bring it back for this fall? or am I missing something here???

Katemonaco · Jul 30th, 2008, 10:04 PM

That's a really nice looking ferro sloane you have there, armcandyaddict. I am not a fan of ferro but must admit that the shimmery colour looks great.

beck77 · Jul 30th, 2008, 10:32 PM

congrats! ferro really look good. looking forward to some action pics.

leilani01 · Jul 30th, 2008, 11:17 PM

Congratulations! I'm so glad everyone's having such good luck finding these rare bags!

armcandyaddict · Jul 30th, 2008, 11:41 PM

thanks, everyone, for sharing in my joy for finding such a rare gem. i started my search in the 5th ave store in manhattan with no luck, and managed to nab the last piece at the park hyatt store in chicago. couldn't believe my luck.

btw, the store manager told me that although ferro is a seasonal colour, bv may bring it back again due to popular demand. so for those of you wanting a ferro sloane, this may be news for you!

and here's an action shot to share - i do apologise for the unglamourous bathroom setting, but i was in a huge hurry and couldn't find an another place with good lighting and a mirror.

and i will post the bonus find in a separate thread.

Wow! ACA Many congrats the ferro sloane looks so beautiful and it will be perfect for fall. I love the muted metallic look of this bag and the sloanes are always TDF. Welcome back and many congrats, you look gorgeous with your new bag!

Mid- · Jul 31st, 2008, 09:34 AM

This is a winner!! aca, you look FABULOUS!!

Thanks for the info on ferro too!. It certainly is fantastic if this colour is going to be around a season (or two or three) longer.

Katemonaco · Aug 1st, 2008, 12:04 AM

The sloane sits so well under your arm, armcandyaddict.

You look very good with the sloane.

armcandyaddict · Aug 1st, 2008, 02:43 AM

thanks, pebz, sum, syma, mid- and katemonaco for your kind feedback. it's such a comfortable, easy bag to use due to the magnetic closure. my ferro sloane has now become my "default" bag. highly recommended for someone who's looking for a more unstructured yet classic bag.
