I have always loved BV and FINALLY did it!

My first bag, the messenger. I know, not the classic, but working in the city and loving free hands, here she is,

I use her everyday and LOVE her!

Tried to edit typos, but the tpf went down for a little bit.

Anyhoo...woohoo! The wallet was $640 and I got it for a little over $300 with tax! Isnt' she purty?

And the two together! The leather is soooooooooo beautiful and soft, I don't think this will be the end.

Wow, what special first pieces, congratulations!!

What colour is the messenger? Is the strap combination of canvas and leather? Would love to see some modelling pics, please?? I've seen the red ombré wallet irl and it's a beauty!!

Enjoy and thanks for sharing!!

Both are beauties. Where them in good health and enjoy!

congrats GTOFan! I think the messenger is practical and the red wallet is a nice pop of color. Enjoy your goodies!!

Both are super nice pieces. How much is the messenger? And where did you get your wallet?

blugenie · Jun 12th, 2008, 08:53 AM

Congrats! What a gorgeous combination of colors!

GTOFan · Jun 12th, 2008, 11:47 AM

Mid - I can't remember the color the bag, but it's avery yummy chocolate. The strap is canvas/leather combo. Yes, lovin' the wallet too! Thanks! Will post modeling pix tonight!

LottieB - the messenger was $1350 and I got it during Sak's F&F event. The wallet came from Sak's too!

Thanks for the kind words all.

I always thought that you had to be ULTRA careful with BV's beautiful leather, but my messenger is definitely very durable!

Good shopping, Harley's mama! The messenger style definitely makes life easier. Great deal on the wallet, too! Congrats :-)

super gorgeous, you can't go wrong with a BV messenger, I've always wanted one myself.

jelts · Jun 13th, 2008, 11:18 AM

Both are lovely! I like the wallet, especially. A very special colour. Enjoy your purchase!

For a first BV, you made great choices. Love them both, especially the wallet.
