Default Today I bought a BV Parachute...
and I love it! So fab. Black leather (can you tell I'm a BV novice - don't even know the correct name for the colour!). I had a New Ball a couple of years ago, but didn't bond and sold her on. But my gorgeous Parachute is a keeper, so pleased!

My little family of bags is now complete - all killer no filler!

I own 3 Loro Pianas:
Genevieve (deep, deep grey).
Eden (grey).
Pouch (the large one, it's a whopping 37cm - taupe, bit like Hermes Etoupe).

Hermes Lindy in Bleu Brighton Clemence (34cm).

Roger Vivier, don't know the name but the most beautiful deep blue.

Chanel medium 2.55 Mademoiselle lock and bijou chain.

Celine Boogie tote in green lambskin.

Such a fab forum (thank you for sharing all your info) - I read countless threads in my quest and thought I'd go for a Pyramid or a Roma, but my heart was stolen!
