I freaking love biasia. Some of the design is really nice. Reasonably priced too.

I haven't bought one yet but I am always eyeing them. Tried on a few at Nordies a while back. I even like most of the styles as well. Nice to hear that they are good quality. It takes me months to decide on something though so I ususally end up with nothing. Now may be the time to take the plunge.

I've been searching for at least 4 months for the "perfect" black bag since I don't own a single black bag. I forbid myself to purchase any other bags til I found it - and I just did . It says it's a Francesco Biasia Gypsy Rain and looks like the brick one posted (also sooo gorgeous) but it has two pockets on the front instead of the sides. They had a third version at Nordstrom with one large pocket on front. Nordstrom said they just got the two new ones a couple days ago and didn't know if they'd be on their web site or not. (not so far)

Anyway, I'm not supposed to use mine until Friday (our valentines getaway) and I can hardly stand it -so I take it out every couple hours so I can pet it . It came with a cute pink dust bag, it's super soft and squishy and it seems perfectly arranged for me. I can't find where it was made, but I'd be curious. It's my first FB and I say Francesco, GOOD JOB .

Reach inside the bag, and gently pull the lining out (it shouldn't be stitched in and will come right out). In the side seam you'll see the tag that says where it was made. Yours was probably made in China like mine since it's a similar style.

I am so tempted by this bag! I saw it yesterday at Nordstrom and was just drawn to it from across the room.

I have a couple of FB bags, and have always found the quality to be quite good.

I really like FB bags too! I think the designs and quality are very good. I purchased the Secret Love Patent Tote in a wine-ish/burgundy color last Sept. 06. It looks like this:

Francesco Biasia Secret Love Patent Tote (Ice) - Francesco Biasia Handbags

I received lots of comments on it too. I'm in the market to buy a navy blue bag and am thinking of getting the FB Stellar Style in navy blue. I love hand held bags! Here's the link of a pic:

Absolutely loved the bag from the pictures you had posted, Prada Psycho.

I saw it at Nordies the other day and couldn't resist it in the camel! My first FB.

brick! i might get it saturday, and sell my Coach legacy satchel... which is very heavy, though beautiful.

I've got the Stellar Style hobo in Navy. The strap's a little stiff, the leather's not soft due to the treatment, but the color is gorgeous. I've gotten lots of complements. The gold hardware is pretty against the navy.
