A LV store opened by me so I had to check it out. Glad I did - now I know I do not like their leather at all. I actually had to ask to make sure the vernis, epi, and the newer perforated lines were leather. The vernis and epi are so hard and plastic feeling. Even the soft perforated line is plastic feeling. JMO of course, but I kept comparing to Coach leather. Even the thinner Coach leathers feel like leather. The only Coach leather I didn't think felt like leather is the Leah patent, but that still feels way better than the vernis. The fiance came with me and even he agreed... though that may have been partially to convince me I don't need a $1000 + LV. But now I couldn't agree more!

Someone in my building is selling a bookshelf for $5. Going to check it out and hoping it will be a good purse-organizing/display shelf.

Got a purse shelf!

Much better size than I expected from the pics (will probably fit All my purses). I need to fit it somewhere and then load her up. Of course there will be pictures when I am done.

Cool

Can't wait to see it C!

I will probably take some pictures tomorrow. It probably won't be too visually exciting since most of my purses are in dustbags, but it feels great to get them organized and out of the closet!

^ Can't wait to see this! I want to take collection pics on my bookshelf, but its overflowing with books and I think it would be too annoying to take them all off, LOL.

Some of you might know it but it was new to me and I joined yesterday. You can create your own faeries, decorate your home, visit faery partys, etc. The graphics are amazing and seem so real. I absolutely love it!

Here's my new shelf mostly loaded up but not quite organized:

Top has bracelets (in outlet bag), keychains, scarves, and misc others:

Bottom has top handle pouches, wallets, and clutches:

And a bag on bottom shelf with capacity wristlets:

Cz - nice !!!!!!

Thanks! I am so glad my purses aren't in piles in my closet anymore.

Hisgeekygrrrl · Jul 27th, 2009, 10:36 AM

Brand new to this site. found it while searching for the 20% coupon. Not sure how to get around and just what threads are. I did find two coupons, but both are expired. Any idea if another one is coming? My Coach collection numbers 10, not counting acessories. Will post picture when I figure out how. Also, I'm not sure of all the style names. Where can I go to find older styles. Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you need to start clicking around and browsing. That's really the only way to learn. There isn't a new 20% off at the moment (yet, as far as I know...) so there is no rush. Might as well browse and get used to the setup. The reference threads are a good place to learn purse/line names and see some older styles (just don't comment on those, they are pictures only for reference). When you have a better idea what you like and want to learn more about, the "Search" option comes in handy.

Welcome!!!

Have fun!

And Hisgeekygirrrl, thanks for the comments on my new setup!
