My new Pyramid arrived this afternoon .. I am a little giddy (spending large amounts of money will do that to you.)
This was from Shirise, with the discount last weekend (THANKS TO YOU ALL) .. have wanted one for ages. In size (big) and color, it is as I expected (THANKS TO YOU ALL) since I've seen pictures, especially modeling pics from others.
Only surprise .. the handle is thicker and umm more sturdy .. I was thinking of my old Veneta handle .. it's stronger .. more of a lifetime handle.
Ok, photos ..

Congrats!!! It's just the perfect slouchy hobo, IMO. Wait til you get some stuff in it and start breaking it in! It's dreamy.

Congrats-post modelling pix!

CaliforniaGal · Sep 8th, 2008, 06:40 PM

..so excited I forgot to re-size pics! Ok..

CaliforniaGal · Sep 8th, 2008, 06:44 PM

Look how different the color looks in different places .. it really is the same bag.
Here's one just so you can see the goofy smile of a new BV owner.
And the other is an outside pic, this is what the color really looks like.

Ya thanks Jane, your cupcake has been my inspiration... it's like .. like a non-fattening cupcake!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all who post photos ..they really do help. I don't have a BV store anywhere near, so it is a big step to buy without seeing IRL.
Here's one more:

Congrats, it is lovely! Is there any chance you can get someone to take a picture of you modeling it on your shoulder? It's a bit difficult to get some perspective on the close-ups you currently posted. Thanks so much!
