Tamasin- I saw JC's pics. I had no idea it would slouchy like that. Yet to find one

Anything in Moonbeam- I'm collecting all of them (at least I'm trying to)

Now I have the carryall, a Lorca, and a sample wallet on the way

LOVE the Moonbeam!!

I'm with you on that one Jenn. I didn't get the moonbeam thing until the LE Pompidou. I chose MB for that only because a) I don't like pinky violets (VCP) and b) there wasn't a guarantee which black it would be. So, I thought "well, MB is a year round color for Florida". Wow, was I surprised when I opened that box.

Oh how I wished I discovered MB when there was still a MB Havana available. Not that I liked that combination that much, but it is the only large handbag that HH did in the moonbeam. So, yeah, I want one of those!

RMC - I think Angie posted about one at Von Maur - it was on sale but not cheap for sure. Although it looked gorgeous. I would've gotten it but we have a lot of winter here compared to Florida (understatement) and I wasn't sure how much wear it would get. Still hoping and praying for an anthracite Havana.

maegrace · Oct 17th, 2009, 03:20 PM

The havana. It looks really big (to me) in the pics. I really thought that the lorca was going to be the bag for me. I got a lorca and couldn't make it work, read all the reviews on tpf of the havana and am sold! Bought one and I want more

sallyca · Oct 17th, 2009, 03:22 PM

I have crappy taste. So I rely on ALL of you to help me make bag decisions.

I resisted the Trophy for a long while but then Jenni did her famous winter poses and showed me the elbow move with the trophy strap and I went for one. Love it.

RealMcCoy · Oct 17th, 2009, 03:27 PM

One of the below-radar-range bags that was a surprise for me was the Vachetta Hudson Satchel. Everyone talks up the Smoke and Cocoa. More often than not, when a vachetta Hudson comes on auction I will read "if it weren't vachetta, I'd be all over that one".

I think the Vachetta continues to cruise way under the radar. I would say I bought my Hudson Vachetta not because everyone raved about it but because they didn't (and it therefore went cheaper). But it is definately a sleeper. And, I am glad I got that one. I think the vachetta is a prettier tan than the saddle. There, I said it. Now all the saddle afficionados are locking and loading their big guns, LOL. Vachetta stomps Saddle!

Oh, I am feeling the fall friskeys. The first cool day in Florida since...well, can't remember...

I love HH! · Oct 17th, 2009, 03:27 PM

the corcovado was not even on my radar until i saw everyone chatting it up so much! seeing all the modeling pics and hearing great reviews really changed my mind.

jlbanks · Oct 17th, 2009, 03:32 PM

Another vote for Origami in Brandy. Soon to be mine!!

fafnir · Oct 17th, 2009, 04:07 PM

I'm going to chime in on the Origami too. I thought it was really impractical-- a long, flat bag?? How useful is that? But the HH video convinced me otherwise and it is now one of my favorites!

There are many HH bags that I see on the website and they just don't float my boat. But then I see alternate views or IRL pics and fall head-over-heels! The Corcovado tote was another one like that.

jwhitlock · Oct 17th, 2009, 09:39 PM

Trophy for sure and also the Lolita. It NEVER even registered until ya'll talked it up.

MERCI!!!!

paelaf · Oct 17th, 2009, 10:22 PM

Fun thread, enga! There are quite a few bags I would never have tried if not for tPF. The mercer satchel for sure--also the pomp, pilot, pamela, wyeth?? I'm sure there are others. The only bag I really fell hard for (of this bunch) was\s the wyeth. Still not feeling the huge hoopla over the pomp and pilot--even though I do like them. Also, the corcovado, never really caught my eye (cept I liked the emerald color when it came out) but the popularity on here has me feeling like I need to give it a try!

kdo · Oct 17th, 2009, 10:41 PM

Origami for me too. I initially thought it was weird and ugly but with all the raving reviews and pics, it's really grown on me. Also, the Pilot and Pomp, Emile Clutch Wallet, and Athena.

chodessa · Oct 17th, 2009, 10:42 PM

I agree about the Clara, I thought it was absolutely awful, til I saw Cherub rockin' it like nobody's business........

paelaf · Oct 17th, 2009, 10:53 PM

Oh, and you guys have me thinking I need a ramone too--never would have strayed from the celinas on my own :)

mishka · Oct 17th, 2009, 11:48 PM

Olga Duffel!!! I know, you guys are going, HUH? What's that? LOL

And Sallyca! You have amazing taste!
