tonji2000, Thanks, I'll tell him! I bet they will have this one on sale again! We'll keep an eye out for ya!

chodessa, I'll thank him and I will take a family portrait tomorrow. Maybe the weather will clear up and I can get some natural light! I'll try to fit them all on the leopard chair! P.S. Your avatar is TOO CUTE! Oh, I forgot, the handbag was $238.00 including shipping! GREAT DEAL!

gingeybear, Great tips! Thanks so much! After I take family pic's tomorrow I'm going to start with the baking soda and go from there! Actually, I can't smell it at all, it's my hubby! I do have a patent Kooba Natasha and took it to the hair stylist and everyone was asking, "what's that smell?" I'm going to try it on this purse too! It was so nice of you to give me these tips.

You're welcome..if it doesn't work, I may have more suggestions. I just wanted to start with my tried and true ones. (BTW I'm the one with the "nose" in this house..my DH is the one who can't smell..things always get stuck in my face to see whether or not the expiration date of two weeks ago really means the cream cheese has to be tossed). As a matter of fact, I kept getting a whiff of something a few weeks ago and he thought I was insane. I don't want to go into graphic details but we found out that the fireplace chimney needed to be re-screened. Baking soda is amazing.

To everyone else. I'm looking at all of your pics and am getting frustrated. I was going to post pics of the lining in my because I want feedback whether it was used just for the sample. I finally got my DD to teach me how to upload..The downside is that I can't seem to take a good photo of my sample sale scores. It's been so dark and gloomy today that the flash doesn't seem to cut through it.

Ok second date, next sample sale Next time I'll have to be more ninja like. I had a bunch of handbags in my cart and went to check out and they were sold out I gotta be quicker next time. On the bright side. I did end up with 4 really really cheap wallets (which will be here on Tuesday).

OMG DP5118....It is GORGEOUS!!...So lucky you snagged that one..I am so excited to get mine next week. I had a feeling it was going to be an incredible bag.

I am not really a patent leather person, but when I opened the khaki/black Bowery clutch today and saw how incredible HH patent leather is I almost fell over. So soft and wrinkly.

Thanks so much and tell your stepson a big THANK YOU for modeling....whoo hoo...can't wait to get mine!!

[leothelnss]

WOW dp, I think black is really just the perfect color for that bag. Just gorgeous!!

[h82bl82]

Aw, give your stepson a big hug from all of us. He rocks!

[debpie]

^ EVERYONE! Ms. Liz, You are going to love your bag! I know what you mean about different patent leathers, and HH's is one of the best I have ever had! The khaki patent is a bit lighter than the black patent but both are GORG patent's! Like I mentioned, it was raining yesterday and I loved carrying this bag. What a great bag to have to carry on those wet days with no worries about the bag getting wet! Please post pic's of yours when you get it!

Booya! I'll bring wine and flowers.

I will be a bit more judicious and selective next time around. The adreline kinda kicked in. Perhaps we need to have a boot camp for training purposes. Still have to post pictures of my newly purchased precious pretties. Used the Corcovado in light Khaki yesterday in downpour. Completely impervious to rain. Wish I had had the presence of mind to score one in Black Patent.

Dp - That is one smoking hot bag! It even suits your step son - now that is a versatile bag! Lol!!! Thanks for the modeling pics - those always are my favourites! Lucky, lucky gal!

[debpie]

^Thanks!

dp5118: I love your corcovado. That's going to be my next HH bag!!!
Here's a pic of the red ibiza as promised. What do you think? Does it look too big for me? It might be too huge if I take it with me for city sightseeing but it would be a wonderful bag for the plane rides. I have been using my Longchamp Pliage so far when traveling. I think this bag would be perfect for your next trip to SD and LA.

I can't do a modeling pic (prying eyes) but how about having my step-son model? hehe...he is about my height! Ms Liz, I'll post pic's tomorrow when I have better lighting! You are going to LOVE your corcovado! I have three now but am thinking (can't believe I am saying it out loud) about putting my emerald goat corcovado on the bay! I'm not so sure green is my color. I haven't worn it yet. Magda, I did get the olive but I think the red is gorgeous! I would love to see pic's! I am going to San Diego and L.A. in December and wanted to take the ibiza on the plane with me, to use as my "everything" bag so I can wear it crossbody. Is it so huge it will look silly?

FYI, I have a black Ibiza that I took on a trip to Toronto. For walking around the city, I usually kept in folded in half so that I could carry it crossbody. I'm 5', so using it completely unfolded crossbody means that the bottom of the bag hits my calves!

Unfortunately, I found that the bag's capacity when folded in half is really dinky. I only barely managed to fit a wallet, camera, water bottle, & small makeup bag in it.

Magda, I love your red ibiza! I think it looks beautiful on you, seriously. I don't think it looks too big at all; however, I big bags! I was thinking of carrying it on the plane and sticking one of my RM bags inside! I am so afraid of losing an expensive handbag with checked luggage! Does that sound crazy?

[tonij2000]

magda that bag is awesome. I too like big bags and I think that you'd look great in the city with your Ibiza. Can't wait to get mine.

dp5118: Your step-son is such a good sport! Thank you so much for posting the pics; they give a great idea of how the bag looks worn.

magda101: I don't think it is too big; I think it looks really nice! I love the red; I have the same shade but in the Pan Am travel bag. It's big enough though that you might be tempted to overstuff; then it might get too heavy!
