Questions for Ben or Toni

[samhainophobia]

Another vote to continue on with the Corcovado -- it's such a wonderful bag. I'm gutted that it may not be available in more colors in the future.

I also feel that the photographs of the apparel generally do not do justice to the items. The photos on the mannequins don't do much to really sell the clothes, generally, and the photos on actual models, while lovely and artistic, are usually styled in such a way or have the body turned or contorted so that I can't really tell how the clothes actually look. I don't get a good sense of what the item of clothing actually looks like until I see straightforward modeling photos from a TPF member -- at which point I like the item much better, and would consider buying it (often too late to do so).

Just my $0.02.

Not a question, but I'd LOVE to see some more bright colors.

Then again, I love the rich cordovan color too. So many choices!!

Make something good for F/W '09, when I'll be making my first big purchases as my christmas present for getting my new job!

Would you consider making some long adjustable straps that would enable us to convert shoulder bags or satchels to cross-body bags. I've just tried out the long strap from the Lyon Satchel on my Havanas and it's perfect in terms of functionality, but the style of the strap isn't quite right. I'm thinking something that can be mixed and matched, along the lines of what you've done with the keyfobs, i.e., funky leathers with great hardware. I would be sooooooo happy.

Thank you and happy new year!

Hi Ben,

I'm really excited about the Spring stuff. I have a question. Will there be new clothes or accessories that are not in the Spring lookbook? I'm just curious because I love so much of it, and am saving up (well I was until the backtobacktobacktobacktobacktoback sales LOL).

Thanks a ton and hope you're having an amazing start to your year!

The new Lisbon weekender looks great. What are the dimensions?

Hi Toni and Ben. Would you please consider designing some watches to go with your beautiful cuffs? I would so love a funky HH timepiece.

[Lucky & Che]

So cool. I second that request.

T&B: PLEASE please please put those canvas Wyeth totes w/leather trim in production!!! The pic a tPFer posted of the green canvas/ginger trim one caused quite a stir and I was crushed to hear it was a sample (and that someone snagged it for such a great price!!!) I've loved the Wyeth but have stayed away from it largely b/c it looks so heavy in all-leather... the canvas w/contrasting trim was GORGEOUS!!!

ITA! I am loving the canvas Wyeths!

[fafnir]

^^ Add my vote for a canvas Wyeth!

[cherubicanh]

I've been using my Wyeth for about 3 weeks straight now and I just wanted to say...more fab colors please. It is my favorite HH bag, next to the Clara.

I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO SEE A WYETH WITH A FABULOUS COLORFUL SILK LINING! What's more grand that a eucalyptus bag with a painterly pattern...DROOOOOL! Or a plum and lagoon one! I DREAM!

[happygirl34]

I vote for watches too! Great idea!
