Edith Lover Club!!! - Page 2

Thanks LG! Chamois is still all scrumpled and soft, though she may have lost a little scrumpling in the pocket area; the leather is different than choco. Chamois practically bends over backward when sitting and the sides now look kicked in from use. I'm so loving this bag and color. That pic was taken when I first got her a couple months back. I'll take another later on and add it here (cause I'll be photographing my new Chanel Cambon Bowler(!!) from the Saks sale which is on the Fedex truck for delivery! salivates in anticipation...).

If you sell her - I will buy her. What a beautiful bag.

I wonder if I am making a mistake going for a balenciaga city v. an edith. it is that whole shoulder strap thing that i can't get past. i love your bags everyone - thank you.

Here's mine. Funny how different tastes are because most of you choosed the most pebbled and slouchy one and I'm the total opposite I wanted her to have more structure and really even unpebbled leather. I actually like it that there's an Edith out there for everybodies taste.
I took her out today after quite a while and I immediately fell even more in love. She's so soft and she smells so wonderful. Actually that's my bag where I get the most compliments for.

I want to know!

Oh! Oh! Oh! I have a story! I saw the full page Chloe ad in various magazines, with Edith perched atop a pile of bags and know I had to have her! I enlisted the help of Purse Forum members to find out what the bag was called, then called all over the U.S. only to discover that the bag had pre-ordered and SOLD OUT everywhere! Well, finally an SA at the Chloe in SCP (?) took pity on me and gave me the numbers of some smaller boutiques that were going to have a handful of bags. I called and pre-ordered the LAST of the three bags that Ron Herman in SCP had ordered. That was in February. I had to wait a couple of months (I think it was around that time frame) for my bag to arrive. When she did, she had a black mark on the handle! It was from the "goo" that Chloe seals the leather edges with. So I called my SA and ended up keeping the bag and getting a discount for "the black spot." She is the perfect color, and I use her to lug around my stuff for teaching. This is one bag that I know I can use forever. Oh, and she goes on interviews, too!

I also took a little "detour" with a chamois Edith, but ended up selling her to another tPF member. She was gorgeous and pebbly, but I could not justify two and the whiskey just went with more of my "stuff."

P.S. - Turqouise Edith owners...I

your bags!

ET, has your bag been able to maintain its scrumples? Mine has actually been getting more of them, if possible. The leather is also less stiff and more paddy like now.

tanja, I know a lot of PF'ers who like the straighter, buttery smooth Edith! I love how it comes in enough variations for everyone!

debsmith · Jul 7th, 2006, 09:05 PM

I am in agony here....I SO want an Edith.

Any opinions on the new Edith Shopper on BG???

Yes...still scrumply and fabulous! The leather seems to be getting softer with use, but the bag does not lose its shape at all. I love it!

gloss_gal · Jul 7th, 2006, 09:53 PM

Are the Edith posting so far of the large size or medium size? Also, where are you finding the turq and red Ediths?

lordguinny · Jul 7th, 2006, 11:30 PM

gloss gal, most of the Ediths being posted are the first edition spring 2006 medium sizes. It came in medium and large. The large is really large, almost luggage sized.

The red is called "whiskey" and the blue "turqouis". You can try your hand at ordering both from Net-A-Porter, LVR, Saks, N. Marcus, bg, etc. I find that the turqouis one is mostly found on Net-A-Porter and LVR. Has anyone purchased the turqouis straight from the department store yet?

debsmith, I am not a big fan of all the new Edith versions coming out (like the shopper, mudith and the over-the-shoulder ones). I think Edith looks best in its classic first edition shape.

Thanks. I have the large and it is luggage size. Too big - I don't think I can use it as an everyday bag. I need to return it. The whiskey is more brown to me but that turquoise is lovely. I think I am going to order the satchel style.
