Default I did cheat..but... my first love will always be you
Its not abt me and my partner!... i know the thread was suggestive.... Just wanted to share with you .....my beauties!

Since my last post in May....I went back to Spore during my school break, caught up with some fantastic tpf ladies, AND managed to see some bags from the F/W collection before returning to "the down and under" Melbourne (not that its not a nice city to live in....but there is no BV store!)...I feel so deprived!

Before returning to Melbourne, I stepped into Tods boutique to send my mum's bag for cleaning...and cheated on BV by getting a G-bag! Gulp!

Hmmm hmmm and I guess no matter how deprived I was in melbourne.....hee hee I managed to get my HG -large ebano campana and ....... 2 more of my dream bags!

Guess no matter what, Bv will always be my first love







NOW.......I am definitley on a purse ban!

Congrats on the bags... they're all nice but I like the Eclipse pleated veneta the most. Is that a large? It's the purrrfect size. I wanted to get that before but I already had a medium Veneta in the same color.

I love the eclipse too and also the deer skin hobo, love the contrast of the shocking pink LV coin pouch against your HG. Congrets

Dear TDL and aaa_1188, thank you for your lovely comments!

I really love the pleated veneta...Although I have a med in baltic, I always wanted to get a large in turbolence or eclipse, but it was all sold out! When this came along, I could not stop myself - I knew that I will kick myself if I let it go!

I love the ossidato range and the cervo hobo! I can't get enough of the deer skin...... My copper cervo always feel so supple and comfortable on my shoulders! And i got so many compliments from my friends when i took my ossidato drop bag ..... and when the ossidato cervo hobo came along, I could not resist it as well!

I need rehab!

Here is my ossidato drop bag...is it not cute? i just love its shape!

Your family is beautiful! Love the Eclipse Veneta! Is the Large Pleated bigger than the Large Campana or about the same?

About the cheating, you know I cheated too, so I won't be throwing stones, lol!
Enjoy!!

mavis78 - Big congradulations! Love every single member of your BV family. I'm never interested in campana until I tried a large campana a couple weeks ago and started to like it ! Any chance to share modeling pix please !?

mavis, those are all gorgeous bags! I am really drawn to the eclipse pleated Veneta, quite a lot actually. I'm sure they are all a pleasure to carry! Thank you for sharing pics with us.

Enjoy!!
Lt Bag Lady- Good question! You had me scurrying to my bags and i placed them side by side....... hmmhmmm maybe i should put up comparision photos!

And the answer is......the pleated is longer in terms of length (is that the right descriptor?)
