Default My first BV-the Frame bag in ebano
This is my first reveal in the BV forum. I always admired BV but I am more of a structured bag kind of girl, so I have not seen something that would really haunt me...until...the Angels and Demons movie, where I noted a beautiful BV. That bag looked like it HAD to be a frame bag.

When it was finally authenticated and pictured in the Angels and Demons thread, I decided I must get it. I called many stores around the country, but SA's did not know what I was talking about, and those who knew said it was completely sold out...

Losing all hope, I called Bryan and the rest is history.

This is definitely the most elegant bag I have ever owned. It is so modest, but at the same time so luxurious. Frankly, I have lost interest in other bags I had so far, and became so obsessed with this frame bag, I just cant put it down. I finally wore it today to a conference and it felt amazing to be able to wear something like this...

Although this was the most I have ever spent on a bag, I feel strangely not guilty this time... and I plan to sell several recently purchased bags to justify the financial hit...
But it does not matter, because I just cant imagine wearing something else and getting the same amount of pleasure from another purse ever again.

This purse also begins a year long ban for me, a period of time where I would treat my "bagaholism" by going "cold turkey". My frame bag will get me through it, I know!!

mouseptrolix - I totally agree. You are doing right and smart. This frame bag is perfect on you; so classic and elegant that it's part of you. Congradulation!
You put the whole outfit so well.

I like this bag, though I usually favor the unstructured look. I saw it in another (non-BV store) and was very tempted. Congratulations! It looks perfect on you.
