And she's absolutely gorgeous! Nearly as beautiful as my new 8 week old kitten! Better not let the two of them get together, it could spell disaster. Bought the bag from a lovely seller on ebay and I'm so happy!!! It's black quilted with a tortoise shell 'Chanel' fasten on the front and a tortoise shell chain handle - don't know if this type has a name?? I'll post my pics when I can (new kitten is very demanding!) but I'll attach a couple from the seller.

Hope that you guys don't mind me sharing this with you.

I don't know what it's made of to be honest, some kind of plastic??. Hope it's not real tortoise shell, doubt it as I think that's banned!

Awwww this is so pretty !! What is her name?????

CarrieB · Nov 5th, 2009, 09:54 AM

I know that it's a bit extravagant but I wore it to work today (I'm a librarian). I can't tell you what a lift it gives me walking around with a Chanel bag over my shoulder - even if I'm the only one that knows! But hey! I'm preaching to the converted here - you KNOW what it feels like!!!! It's the BEST!!!!
