I currently have the gather round holly and have gotten a billion of compliments - i can wear it dainty or with my rocker outfits (what can i say, i'm a theme dresser) also, i love that when i go out to eat i can use it as a pillow behind my chair since it so soft!!!

I really want one of their wallets. Why don't they make them any more? Or at least I see nothing on their site. Finding a great wallet is VERY difficult!

karmenzsofia · Oct 29th, 2009, 04:26 PM

Gorgeous, as usual!!!

^I'm in love with it but I'm a little terrified of the suede...

karmenzsofia · Oct 29th, 2009, 05:21 PM

^ I don't blame you...I'm iffy about suede myself...however, if I fell in love with a bag that has suede on it, I would get it and spray it with the best suede protector I could find.

Personally I would get the stitch in time, I love the tassles and the corset detailing. I love added movement in my bags. I agree with everyone who said to get it quick-once these bags sell out they are hard to find! I own many Lockhearts and I get compliments on all of them. I am currently eyeing the Malia that is on there site it is TDF. Be sure to post some pics when you make up your mind!

berryblondeboys - I asked Pam about wallets, and was told they were available to stores. No body ordered them.

FYI - While on the telephone with Pam, I asked why the handbags at Anthropology were priced less than the Lockhearts seen elsewhere as well as why didn't they have metal Lockheart name plate. She said the quality is the same ~ less detail and different lining equals lower price. They were a special order for Anthropology.

^that's very interesting, thank you for sharing that info!

If you purchase there, please tell George, L Harding from Florida sent you! Here's a coupon for 20% off:http://baltimore.org/misc/uploads/co...the%20City.pdf

I've been trying to get a hold of someone at this boutique all day, is this a real store? I get an answering machine during business hours all day. So then I try the other location hoping someone will pick up and there isn't even an outgoing message, just a long beep. Sounded like cell phone voicemail or something. I left a message so hopefully someone will get back to me but it's a bit strange that they don't pick up during store hours. I can't imagine they are that busy.

Littlerock - I've been to the store a couple of times so it does exist. I'm not sure why they aren't answering but here's their website.

I did a search and saw a picture of a wallet that looks like it could be used as a wristlet also. It is soo cute!
