Thanks so much!! ITA, a selection of matte or light glaze leathers would be nice. We shall see! They promise us a January debut, so here's hoping for midnight, New Year's Day! lol

I really ought to get a new monitor, but I keep spending all my money on handbags!

I got to see the booklet in-store - all the pics are the same, but it was mind-blowing regardless! The lime lorca & clutch wallet are going to be amazing

cciele · Dec 29th, 2008, 12:06 AM

The lookbook says there is a vibrant violet patent (probably the one shown in the Lorca). Looks similar to VCP, but more blue-toned than pink-toned. Hard to tell, though!

cciele · Dec 29th, 2008, 12:12 AM

Hm, I just noticed that the Angelika vest is the same as the Martine jacket sans sleeves!

Like a couple of the other hotties, I'm just not feeling this spring line. And I'm relieved, actually. The frills and pastels are just not me. The blue Trophy is awesome, but I just got my black one. So I think I'll be sitting this season out. My credit cards will thank me.

I do love the model's haircut, though.

^^^ Nothing's calling to me too loudly, either...yet. I think it's the oranges and turquoises. But, of course, we know that only tPF modelling pics truly do HH justice. Until then, however, those Athena cuffs do look mighty funky and the Wyeth tote in grey...

Is the booklet just as short as the online lookbook? Did you see any indication that the beautiful lime might come in any thing other than a Lorca... perhaps a larger bag? I think the colors are lovely and not at all whimpy cotton candy.

If you guage how much darker this season's gray zeus, indigo and VCP was than the photos, you can see that spring's will probably deeper, richer in color also. I think the studio where they shoot their pics loves to wash with light and flash.

I'm digging the orange. I think many won't feel the vibes though until there has been a couple more months of winter. Here in Florida the colors HH used in their lookbook will go year round since they toned them with navy and gray instead of contrasting with stark white. I hope that the trophy will also be in the eucalyptus gray as well as that beautiful blue.

I am loving the pale green metallic stuff! And that kira tote is super cute as well!

mishka · Dec 29th, 2008, 03:29 PM

I'm totally digging the green metallic too! And I love love love love orange and blue. Together they're divine! So fun! I have a lookbook (thank you SF Sample sale!) and the orange and blue Celina cuffs are amazing. And the Athena cuffs. I'm all over the blue and orange. I also love the platinum lizard Staci. I might have to unload my Yam one to make room for the plat liz! I love the Parker trench and the Staci jacket, the fluttery dresses (even though the peach isn't my color), but I love the perfume bottles print on the penelope and fortuna dresses. I also kinda dig the Cassandra shorts. The ruffle scarf in the "80s" print would be so cute with the matching Staci, with a simple dress in one of the colors.

I also love the Pandora tunic and the Helena dress in the 80s print. The KOKO minibag is pretty cute too. The Camille Clutch is TDF as is the Zee Tote!!! And I"m totally getting those orange and blue link wedge sandals. I hope they are on sale at some point!

Anyway, yeah, I'm liking the spring line so far!

Yep, same exact stuff that india posted.
I didn't see any other lime bags than the lorca, but who knows?

slegg61 · Dec 30th, 2008, 03:58 PM

I saw this lookbook on Flikr the other day and immediately warned my husband I was going to get that lime green clutch wallet at some point. I adore lime green, but it looks terrible on me, so a wallet is just perfect!

hide_fiend · Dec 30th, 2008, 11:47 PM

I have to say that I really like the clothing. Even that little peach jumpsuit is calling me.

Say, there was a Beatrice in the Sp '09 teaser that came out prior to the lookbook. Guess she was just a sample...?

swolfcg · Jan 3rd, 2009, 03:06 PM

Okay now that I'm loving the look of PL in the Havana, I'm now curious if it will return. Does anyone know if this Staci Crossbody is in PL? And if so, what's the likely hood the Havana will come in it again?

fafnir · Jan 3rd, 2009, 11:24 PM

Oh, dear. I just took another good look and I think the Parker Trench is calling my name. And I'm developing a real need for the Cordovan Tharpe!

I would love to see the Danae Tunic from the front (pg 5)
