India those are so cute! Are they smaller sized bags (forgive me for not being well versed in AB bags as yet)? I really love both colours, but red just does not suit me so I'll just drool over the grape!

indiaink · Oct 30th, 2008, 11:12 PM

asark, no, actually, they are a good medium-sized bag. When I read about them, some ladies reviewed them as too small (which I guess they would be, by today's HUGE standards), but I find they hold everything I want to carry. About 15" across, 8" tall, and 4" deep, plus the pocket on the front. That's about the size, more or less, of Hayden-Harnett's Big-Clip Inka hobo. Of course, the AB bag is more structured - so the Inka holds more because it's got room to spread.

LOVE everything posted! HHHotties have great taste.

cho -
pleeze...keep on posting! we are truly enjoying your pics!!! That violet Bay is a gorgeous color and I do have a fondness for Chloe - but have yet to find a bag that truly speaks to me....believe me, I've tried! (at last count, four bags in all that I bought and returned....three types of Ediths and a Silverado!) I have a fondness for Gladys - an older style of 4+ years ago.

India -
I still LOL when I think of the thread you posted about your forensic search for the red Luxembourg!

asark -
now that BE is totally TDF and I've never seen that combo!! It just rocks! The color combo, the shape and size really does suit you well!!!

okay, it appears that "purple" may be the theme.....so I'll serve up my purple bag that I bought last year while in London.....the classic Bayswater by Mulberry. Love the grain on the gloved leather. This bag WILL last a lifetime.

Okay, I'll post another to show my diverse taste.....
Thickskin's Bucket Bag in Jungle (acid washed) leather. Now a "collectors item" (fancy term for no longer producing since they are no longer in business!)

For some reason, I don't wear this bag as often as I should - mostly because I have too many bags!!!! Yes, that's the TRUTH! I've made a resolution...IF another bag comes in - one must leave! We'll see if I can stick to my resolution.

Oops, sorry - got side tracked. Here's the Bucket:

indiaink · Oct 31st, 2008, 11:51 AM

My God, blam blam - a Mulberry AND a Thickskin? NEITHER of those two should EVER go, so mark them off the list for disposal. Some handbags just go to a special place in your closet and never leave you - seriously - both of them are absolutely gorgeous! I need to take photos of my tattooed Mulberry Rosemary for this thread, I reckon - she's in deep storage - I don't even wanna carry her, she's so special.

chodessa · Oct 31st, 2008, 01:46 PM

I'm just learning about Mulberry!!! LOVE the Roxanne... all the studs and buckles.... mmmm.. scrumptious!!
Please post some more pics of Mulberry and all other amazing brands!!

BLAM BLAM... I said I wasn't going to do it.. but this is for you!! Here is my fave Chloe right now... maybe EVER!! It is a quilted Bay in Patent Green...
I know of all the bags you speak... I have a pretty large Chloe collection.. working my way up to have that many HH's one day... the difference in price is sickening, and ironically both brands make me equally happy.... (how superficial that sounds as I read it..)
Okay, this is me and my green lover today...(oh and I had to throw in the shoes I got at TJ Maxx that are it's perfect match IMO...)

You all have impeccable taste in handbags.

h82bl82 · Oct 31st, 2008, 03:16 PM

^I second that!

mishka · Oct 31st, 2008, 03:21 PM

third! I only pretty much buy HH! I love the others too, I just can't afford them. I'm so grateful to HH for making bags I can afford!

Amen...although I can only afford the violet trophy I am lusting after if it goes on sale... some HH styles are up to 700 bucks!!

leothelnss · Oct 31st, 2008, 03:47 PM

That Mulberry is sooo gorgeous Dcblam. Your Thickskin bag is really cool, too... The leather is so pretty - Thanks for giving me a new designer quest

You should definitely wear that bag more often, it's fab and looks great on you

And Cho - you look great in green! And all the other colors of the rainbow

indiaink · Oct 31st, 2008, 03:58 PM

Just FYI, Mulberry now has a USA web site - after years of screaming from us Americans! I think it went live last week -

http://www.mulberry.com/ and make sure to click on the United States button, lower left-hand corner.

Sybaryte · Oct 31st, 2008, 06:11 PM

I am seriously impressed, Ladies!! Good show!
