Missty's DYOB project

Now seeing your sketch...can I have your bag instead of mine!?

[dreamofpompidou]

Luciana do you have a sketch already too? I'm being so nosy....

[Jordanopolis]

Yes! I have a couple. I asked for some changes on the first one and got a second...asked for some more changes, and I'm waiting for a third!

^OMG post photos please! I am so behind, I have not even sent in sketches. I feel like a kid behind in homework, this is always on my mind.

MISSTY!! I love your design! Did you design the handles to be stiffer or do they fall to the side when not being held?

I think the bag would look great in white leather with gray patent. Then it would always stand out!

I don't know how to convert from pdf to jpg, but I'll post one when I get the next sketch...which is getting pretty close to the final one!

^The fastest (though not best) way would be to open the PDF, hit print screen (on a PC), paste the image in paint, cut out the relevant part of the image, paste the image on a new Paint file, and hit save as .jpg. Then the image becomes all funny looking due to the bad conversion, but it's the fastest way to upload an image without having to download any programs like photoshop or some screen capture program :)

If you have a Mac... well I forget how it's done, my mac's been broken for a few months :(

I have a mac :(

Using a mac, if you hold down the key with the apple symbol, the shift key and the number 4 at the same time, the arrow should switch to a little round symbol and then if you hold down and select an area, that takes a screencap of the area selected and saves it to your desktop once you let go.

Terrible instructions... but hopefully that's clear enough to help!

[Jordanopolis]

Thanks cody! That worked!!
"dreamofpompidou" also converted one of the sketches for me. I'll start a thread tomorrow with the sketch picture and I'll explain what it is!

Missty, if you can open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat, you click on FILE, then select EXPORT, on the pull out menu select IMAGE and on that sub-menu select JPG. I love your handbag. I want one! Love the idea of a contrast and using that gorgeous chocolate color. Have you thought of puting that with the new fall color called "Misty"? Also, when you work with HH, how about being our industrial espionage agent and get the dimensions of the Biblio for us? Inquiring minds want to know.

Missty - I see your bag in beautiful supple gray leather and metallic pewter contrasting accents and a FABulous bright red or purple lining.

Great idea True! White and grey is very chic, casual and would make a standout bag. I shot the idea to Joanne and she was really excited too ("not to be advocating, but I think that would look really amazing").

Run RMC! What's the new fall misty color? I called HH and got the dimensions for the biblio: 18"L x 10"H x 6" deep :)

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now I am in BIG trouble. I know I will want that Biblio in all colors. It is a great size and deep enough. Thank you so much for checking. The mist color is what I gathered was one of their fall lineup of colors. HH said on their blog the colors would be "a palette of dark neutrals, balanced with colors of ethereal mist and fog". I noticed in their shoes and clothing that they have three different suede colors: a soft blush, a gray and a hazy taupe with just a smidge of green to it which I guessed would be the closest to that "mist" HH talked about. I figured the gray was the "fog". We'll have to wait and see. I love the idea True Religion suggested with the white and gray. I have been wanting to see HH do a white or cream something. I didn't know HH when they had the chalk leather available. I've noticed that they just don't seem to move into the white/ivory/almond/cream range in anything.

Missty, I really love how the bag is looking! Thanks for showing us!! Wondering about one thing though--the top part, with the zipper, looks kind of wide and boxy/squared off. I don't know if this is just something difficult to illustrate or if that was the intent. Also, if you go with the strap (love) maybe the handles should be a little shorter? Love (and want) it though!
