Its official the mini crochet is here to stay. The pale orange linen outfit I wore today was perfect for the bag, so I did like Bichonlover with her Chanel and absolutely couldn't resist wearing her out. She got tons of compliments. I was in the ladies room on the cruise and someone came up and was raving about the bag and everyone at work was stopping by to visit with her. I found a pumpkin boucle sweater in my closet that goes great so now I am going to look further for more things that might match. And if that fails, I'll be getting some new things. I was so worried about what to do with her on the cruise (we had a group of 50), but there was an extra seat at my table, so in she went, covered by my raincoat. Of course it rained on the way there so she got the raincoat and umbrella and I got wet. I almost didn't want to go to the ladies room because I'd have to dig her out and haul her in with me. But since she snagged the compliment in the ladies room I was happy I took her in. Then I wrapped her back up in my raincoat and back on the chair. Of course someone knocked their drink over (exactly what I imagined), she got a bit damp but thank god it was only water, so no damage done. Could you imagine a glass of soda or one of those fruity drinks everyone was having. Well sorry for the long post but she is out and christened. PS The bag came from Bergdorf but instead of the copper rame veneta it was an oxidized copper hobo type bag. Did not like it at all so back she goes. If anyone has an interest I'll be happy to PM you with the sales person. It was 40% off, and came to about what the copper rame would have been at 40% off, so that threw me off too. Guess its fate.

Yay! you are keeping it....

It is a unique and beautiful handbag !!!!!
She got the raincoat and the umbrella and you got wet means you really took the right decision

mariabdc · Jun 18th, 2009, 06:38 AM

Congrats, Rere...
It'd be only fair if you showed us the bag with that lovely pale orange outfit of yours...
I agree you need to do some serious shopping for matching clothes...

annie9999 · Jun 18th, 2009, 07:23 AM

congratulations. i think it's a really good decision.
enjoy.

Fantastic!! I'm sure you'll find a lot of clothes that go with your mini crochet both in your closet and at stores.

Have fun!!

Yes, could we see your pale orange linen outfit with the mini, please?

ReRe, this bag is so interesting and I love all of the colors in it. I wish I could see it IRL.

I love the way it puddles when you sit it down.

Congrats!

ReRe · Jun 18th, 2009, 06:23 PM

Thank you all so much. I couldn't help wearing it again today with an orange shell, pecan colored brown pants and a great long Eileen Fisher white hooded cardigan, topped off with a great orange and white cougar pin (Kenneth J Lane). I will try to show some pics of the outfits with the bag with it...but they will be laying on a bed. Need to keep searching the closet. So far I'm very happy with my decision

Bichon Lover · Jun 18th, 2009, 06:43 PM

So glad you're loving it! Would love to see it with your outfits laid out.

boxermom · Jun 18th, 2009, 07:14 PM

I waited awhile to post here, because I am so on the fence about this bag. It must be one of those you have to see IRL to "get it". I'm so happy that you are pleased with it and wearing it! Congratulations.

ReRe · Jun 18th, 2009, 09:07 PM

Here is the shot with my stuff loaded into the bag, but I should have shot it from the side instead of the top. And more luscious leather shots.

Mid- · Jun 18th, 2009, 09:43 PM

This is cute! I can hear her saying, "Feed me!!"

Love your rugiada wallet too.

aaa_1188 · Jun 18th, 2009, 10:44 PM

Luscious leather! I can't help it, it is beautiful. I keep coming back to see the bag.

peggy168 · Jun 19th, 2009, 03:22 AM

This is a very beautiful bag with excellent workmanship! Congratulations!

mariabdc · Jun 19th, 2009, 07:50 AM

OMG... it's already *breeding*

LLANeedle · Jun 19th, 2009, 08:45 AM

I'm glad you decided to keep it. I can hear the love affair developing as you write about it. We're wallet twins! I'm thinking I'd like that fabrication in a veneta.
