My D&G Velvet Vlada has just arrived!!!!
OMG!!! It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen let alone owned! Inside a large black box, wrapped in white tissue, inside a pristine white dustbag there it was, the magnificent blood red velvet Vlada. I can't believe that its mine. This is my first ever purchase of a full-price bag and I felt sick when I ordered it. Now that's its arrived I think that I've just had my first ever hot flush!!!
I need to lie down - shame I'm still in work!!

Glad you like it that much. I myself have never paid anywhere near full price for any of my bags even the ones that are holy grails! However, you did and you are obviously very much in love with it.:>)
Of course, I would like to see pics IRL. |

Congratulations! Was a little worried when I read your original thread that you would be disappointed/remorseful when you got it but I'm very happy to hear that you're thrilled with it. Can't wait to see pics!

Can't wait to see this bag!! I love velvet! Actually you know every full priced bag I've ever bought has been the best buy because I've worn them all to death!

Here are the pics. They are pretty poor as I took them last night in a bit of a rush and the light wasn't too good.

The bag is a much richer red IRL and the rhinestones on the front are very sparkly. There is also a hug red tassel which hangs at the side with a large golden key. The strap is a gold chain with a gold leather piece set into it to sit on your shoulder. It's so beautifully made and finished.
My cat was impressed too - as soon as I put the box down she sat on it and I just managed to lift the bag out of the box before she dived in for a closer look!!! |
