Had to carry it again today--that's a no no for me. I usually switch bags everyday, kind of my signature. Of course it rained and my rain coat was on the bag instead of me. I'm getting a little obnoxious, I even had the guys feeling my bag at lunch, guess I'm going to have to reign it in a little.

I have this bag too and really loving it to bits! This bag serves my every need and I don't seem to desire to have a change..... but I got to force myself to bring out my other bags for a healthy walk!

Actually, if I have to live with just one bag - this is it!

I keep coming back to look at this bag--the more I see it the more I like it, especially the color!

That's funny--the guys at work feeling the bag. My niece says her dh is getting more knowledgeable about her bags and shoes and she's not sure if it's a good thing or not lol!

Aww, that’s so sweet of you to say that, haomimi. *blush* *beam*. How I would love to make a living doing so, LOL. It’s fun sharing the knowledge and being an enabler!

Wow!Just stunning.Congratulations.Very very classy bag.

BTBF · Apr 26th, 2007, 11:11 PM

Nice. What color is this bag? Light brown?

ReRe · Apr 27th, 2007, 08:42 PM

Its called Old Petra and its a muted purple/brown, which I know sounds odd. I wish my picture was better, but somehow this unusal combination is very neutral. Sometimes it looks purple, others brown. You might be able to see it better on the BV website, you can browse through their catalogs.

To the PFer that asked about the lock, I'll check but I'm sure the key locks the bag.

Gingerfarm: Thanks--good to hear from you again. I think of you every time I wear OUR mastic anaconda. My only problem is, its so big its hard to fill up. It just puddles on the floor, but I'm loving it and using it!

ReRe · Apr 27th, 2007, 08:53 PM

I tried again, hope this patch shows more of the purple, my original shots look brown.

ReRe · Apr 28th, 2007, 05:44 PM

Here's another swatch:

Wow the swatches I've posted of Old Petra, sure look different, guess thats what is so unusal about this color.
