Default BV Newbie Reveal
Just back from London with a small meet of TPF girls and came home with a gorgeous new Ebano (chocolate brown) large Campana bag. It is absolutely stunning and drapes beautifully. I think this may be my HG bag!! The leather is amazing and so soft. Am totally exhausted and too tech tired to post pics, but will do so in a couple of days after a little rest.

I actually had some great advice from Alisonanna and a friend found it on sale at Selfridges, I think, in Manchester. She picked it up for me and I was lucky enough to get it at our little meet. Was so much fun as I have never been to London. So, the bag was even more special as it was chosen by a very amazing and lovely friend!
I spotted a gorgeous red pleated Veneta at Harrod's and was doing some serious drooling and it was on the shoulder of someone, so I couldn't have a try on!

Mmmm, ebano. It is the perfect delicious milk chocolate color. Looks so silky. Congratulations on your new bag.

Possibly one of BV's most beautiful bags! I've said this many times--Ebano, IMO, is the best color to show off the woven Nappa leather. You have great taste. Congrats and wear her in good health!!!

Thanks ladies! It is a gorgeous bag and my all time favorite. It does look like chocolate! Will take some modeling pics, although I cannot do justice to Chaz's pictures of it.
