Congratulations... Love the color!!

jelts · Jul 5th, 2009, 07:37 AM

This is really a very lovely bag!
Yes, you definitely need to get something in Lilac since this IS grape.

I hope your DH gets better soon.

What a beautiful bag! I love the color and the placement of the woven areas. Congratulations!!

I hope your husband feels better soon!

Thanks for sharing your photos, because they make this bag look much more appealing than the catalog does--it's really lovely. Enjoy!

I was told Lilac and because it's mostly smooth rather than woven, I thought that's why it looks darker. duh--I just pulled out the color code and it's 6006 for Grape. Gosh, now do I need to find something in Lilac, too??

Obviously, I haven't assembled my Fall color code list yet, but I need to get cracking.

p.s. doloresmia, dh is sleeping now, as he has every aftrnoon. The feeling is coming back into his arm, and that's very uncomfortable, but the pain is at a manageable level. Thanks for your concern. (to others: June 30, dh went to ER with extreme pain/weakness/numbness in R shoulder/arm and can't do much of anything)

leilani, the retail is $1450.

Grape or lilac, your new BV is gorgeous! And grape might be a little easier to maintain, since it seems to be a little darker.

Thanks for the pricing information...$1450 is pretty "reasonable" for a BV. My only concern is the strap drop - 6" might be too snug under the arm. I'll have to wait until I see this IRL to determine whether this bag will work for me.

Hope your husband makes a speedy recovery!

boxermom, i hope your hubby gets better very soon...
i love your bag... the colour looks nicer than lilac, imho... but you are still entitled to a lilac BV!

alisonanna · Jul 6th, 2009, 10:30 AM

grape is very pretty - any chance of a modeling pic?

the weave on your bag is just great! (why can't I enlarge/copy/paste anymore? - is it just me? I want to look at it big!

)

Boxermom,
Love the Grape! This style looks very practical, the flap with magnetic closure is perfect! I don't like zippers but I do like to be able to close my bag, this is perfect!

Enjoy and thanks for sharing! Hope Dh gets better soon!
Cheers

Actually my bag has a zip top, so is a little bit different.
