Megs - thank you so much for those gorgeous photos and the exclusive! i don't even like purple and i am drawn to this!

beck77 · Jun 15th, 2009, 07:53 PM

OMG!!!! Thanks Megs. I really love lilac.

I'm back and read the blog too. Megs (and Vlad), what great pictures and article! BV must be really happy to have such a captivating online feature. As a campana lover, I'm beyond thrilled to see this style in this perfect colour. Can you share what made you/BV decide on this particular bag?

boxermom · Jun 15th, 2009, 09:45 PM

Perfectly wonderful photos from Vlad! They show the Nappa weave and the Lilac color so well! The Campana is one of the best looking bags BV makes, IMO.

Outstanding job, Megs and Vlad!

Thank you Megs and Vlad. Stunning photos! Now i want another Campana!

blugenie · Jun 15th, 2009, 10:05 PM

This is just stunning. I wish the medium campana worked for me

jelts · Jun 15th, 2009, 10:14 PM

I love the campana, and that's such a lovely hue!

The Lilac Campana was not shared with any other publication than PurseBlog for an exclusive/launch. Typically they send a bag to a magazine to shoot and cover, but this was just for us!

We got a really cool email a few weeks ago from someone at BV. They said they realized how much influence our Blog and Forum has and how many members the site has and they wanted to try things out with us. So this was the first idea - they sent us the bag to shoot and review. It was such a neat experience!!!

^^Must have been a great experience! Now, if they would just officially name the "Bella" for us!!

Megs, I'm just so pleased for you and Vlad and everyone at PurseBlog and Forum. I'm certain none of us know all the hours and effort you put into this community. To say I'm thrilled that my favorite designer recognized your unique influence and talents is an understatement.

I'll be visiting the Chicago BV store in about 10 days and will subtly talk up PF again:-)

*swooning* Love the colour so so so much. But I already have a campana and I don't want another :(

You are so sweet P!!!!

Honestly, it all feels like a dream. But really, you all have made this place what it is and you create the buzz and knowledge behind the brands

Nice work! Thank you, Meg s & Vlad! Lilac is such a sweet color! Can't wait to see it in real!
