Hi Guys! Yes, I've wandered from the Prada and Hermes for something different. I looked through the reference libraries and came up with nothing. Can one of you BV junkies give me the proper name and color for this bag? I know it's not the carmine (or is it carmino?) red (I LOVE that shade of red), but in a pinch this certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Thanks!

Nice bag and welcome to BV! Not sure the colour but it looks like tomato soup - which I love! There were some different reds in the line-up before carmino last fall so hopefully someone here will know what this one is. And a lot of BVs don't actually have names - they seem to just be given purely descriptive names like perhaps for this one it could be "braided handle intreccacio (sp?) stripe tote" or something equally mundane!

^^^Sounds like Prada! Guess I'll feel at home here then.

I believe this red is called scala or pompeii. The style is simply deerskin hobo with woven panel.

PP, I own a somewhat-similar BV deerskin hobo, and I can tell you the deerskin BVs are extra-luscious and light as a feather.

^^^I've seen Boxermom's pink version of that style, so I know what you mean.

I LOVE this green!

Cosmo has GREAT taste in bags!

Hey E! WHAT are you doing in here?! LOL

I have this one, it is more of a shopper/tote.

Cosmopolitan · Mar 6th, 2008, 02:30 PM

^^^Lol maxter, I didn't know you had that red BV. I LOVE that one!!!!!!!! You've got pretty good taste yourself, GF.

I'll be wearin' my green BV on St. Paddy's Day.

Wow, lovely to see tPFers that I usually see in The Playgound!!

Hello Prada Pshyco, the red looks pompei to me in the pic, but BlueFly's pics are VERY tricky so I am not quite sure.

Hi maxter, your shopper is really gorgeous!! Could we have your action pics??

boxermom · Mar 6th, 2008, 04:45 PM

It looks like Pompei to me, Elaine. The deerskin is wonderfully soft and durable leather. A lot of BV bags don't have specific names--they just describe the style. Everyone here is probably sick of hearing me rave about the braided handles--I just love the comfort and substance of them.

That green tote will be perfect on St. Patrick's day, Cosmo!

I'm usually hanging out in Chanel or browsing thru LV. I have a few BV pieces. But I have to say I could live in Cosmo's closet anytime!!

Cosmo - is your Prada buckle bag green too? I can't remember but I vaguely think so. You must be Irish!

OK, you need to change your avatar to be Green Beer - at least just until St. Pat's day!!

I'm not sick of it b/c I totally agree! I think the braided handles MAKE the bag. I really love them.

maxter- beautiful bag and great action shots. she looks great on you.
enjoy.

Mid- · Mar 6th, 2008, 06:23 PM

Thank you maxter for the pics!! It looks very nice on you!! I wanted to see/try this shopper in green, but was told none came to the US...

I haven't been to the C side yet. Is it as dangerous as the Orange side?
