I decided to do a mini-reveal since I don't want to call attention to the fact that somebody bought a bag before Christmas. It was purchased while on vacation, and I think there is a rule somewhere that bags bought on vacation don't violate a bag ban. Regardless, we don't need to dwell on any potential past misdeeds. Let's just focus on the here and now.

My ash parachute bag........

You might notice a change in picture location. My lovely porch location was not available since the entire porch was torn off the house as part of my DH's screened in porch project.

ssc- Darn, I can't see the picture and will have to wait until I get home. I knew you would buy a bag!! How you you like the PArachute bag. It's very ladylike and ash is a lovely color. Will come back later for a proper look.

Many congrats!!

congradulation ! I saw this bag in BV NYC 2 weeks ago and thought it was a wonderful, functional bag. It was elephant that I saw. Enjoy! I like the rule that bags bought on vacation don't violate a bag ban.
Any possibility modelling ?

Yay, ssc, you had christmas in summer after all! It's ash scuro, yes? I didn't know the parachute came in that colour, lovely!! Oh, good luck with your hubby's project!

Hi there annelovepuggy, good to see you!

I think you're right! I didn't buy it at a BV store. The SA told me it was ash, and I kept asking if it could be ash scuro and she said no. I'd seen pictures of ash scuro, but not ash.

I've been hiding the bag since it was purchased, so I could ignore the fact that someone-- who will remain un-named--bought a bag before Christmas.

Gorgeous!!! Rules were meant to be broken... lol! - and oh yes, Merry Christmas!

I'm liking this style too....I'm in trouble! What are the dimensions and how comfortable is it on your shoulder? Is the drop generous?

NicAddict · Aug 22nd, 2009, 03:59 PM

this is me from today with my brand new Reflet Cabat.
