Oh, and if any of you talk to B, (or go in to the store) ask about the art on the 3rd floor. It is totally bizarre!!

I can guarantee that it's not hand-signed- do you really think Karl sits around signing bags?

I LOVE the fact that they're using the old flat turnlock

I'm also due to receive my red MA-NY on Wed. BTW, they come in a wooden box lined in white linen. Wear it? Hmm, am thinking of an altar in my newly refurbished office. I can work and drool simultaneously. How grand is that!!

I know Brendan will be glad this event is ovah. I, for one, started bugging him in the summer -- what bag will it be? A month later, any word yet. I owe him big time for not forgetting I was waitlisted!!

I believe that it is his siggy lasered on to the bag. I touched the letters, they do not seem to be in ink. I didn't think to ask!

Edited to say - If you compare the red and navy the siggys are exactly the same IMHO, no one is that good, not even Karl!

Nix on the hand signature. He'd have to have a bionic hand to sign all those purses. And when would he be designing that next collection??? ("Oh no, not another handbag. I thought I signed the last darn one" -- lol.) It's like the President having an auto pen to sign for him.

^^ Didn't spend too much time looking at the box, except to realized that they were VERY heavy to carry, now I know why! Here are some pics, DH who already thinks I'm nuts is now watching me pose and take pics of a box...he's sitting there just shaking his head

Awesome! Thanks so much for the pics Beth! Now one more question, how much are the 2 flaps? Are they more than the regular patent flaps because they're LE editions??

^^ I don't remember exactly... I think the med/large was $2,750 and the jumbo $3,125? So yes, they are more, but I'm not sure if it's because they are LEs or if the price increase was taken for these?
