Well, some of you already know that I picked up the Leopard Montaigne that was lurking on Ebay. I was trying my best to resist , but there was an enabler or two that encourged me (I won't name any names ....deloresmia, longchamp).

In the end I knew this bag was right up my alley...after all I have the tiger veneta too. So here are my wild ones..

Wow!! I wild life zoo in the making... gorgeous bags

Charmed05 · Jun 23rd, 2009, 08:41 PM

I had to come over from Prada to see your new addition and it's beautiful! I love the darker leather details with this bag. Congrats!

Bichon Lover · Jun 23rd, 2009, 08:47 PM

Love your cats! LOL

You don't even need to feed or clean up after them.

So exotic, enjoy!

Love the bags!!!

Thanks everyone! I think both of these bags look even better in person than in pictures. (Although it was seeing BichonLover's tiger veneta picutres that convinced me I needed that one!!)

I know everyone always worries about whether animal prints will go out of style or not. I remember thinking about 10 years ago! I don't think I even care if they do go out of style, it will just make these more unique.

My big problem now is how I pull out the montaigne and act like I've had it for "awhile". It is definitely a bag the purse police are going to notice.

Both bags are gorgeous!!!!! Congrats on your new find. My "purse police" is my 4 year old daughter. She notices far more than my husband and of course she is not at the age where she really understands that bags don't need to be talked about!

Oh wow I'm so glad a tPFer got that bag, congrats!!! They both look wild and wonderful, Rrar!!

kroquet · Jun 23rd, 2009, 09:18 PM

I love the detail on the lock. Very special bag!!

Mine are my two daughters. They sell me down the river so fast my head spins!!

My husband doesn't notice much on his own, but my daughters love to bring my bags to his attention. Sometimes I think I've gotten away with something and then I'll hear "Daaadddyyyy...Mommy's taking pictures of her purses again!" Or "is that ANOTHER new bag?" from my 12 year old --who obviously noticed it earlier, but waits until dad is home to say it for added drama.

Tigers and Leopards oh, my! Congratulations.
