Speaking as an avid Beatrice fan, I think it sounds like you would like the Beatrice Corsaire (Indigo and Amber colors) or the Black Harlequin. I have the Red Harlequin. Love it. Love all my Beatrice bags. I saw the all-leather version once - for a brief second - before Ms.Lizardo snagged it. This Fall's Biblio bag reminds me a lot of the all-leather Bea Bags.

Dinosaurs,
I forgot to mention the difference I have found in the Beatrice leathers. The Corsaire and the Florals (the white or the saddle) are in a matte-finish, thicker, "spongier" goat (?) leather. The Harlequins (from personal use) and the all-leather ones (from what I have seen in the photos) are in the same leather of the Havanas - a more satin-finish cow/calf leather. I like the leather in my floral and corsaire...but I LUV the leather in the Harlequin. BTW, there are a few of us ISO the elusive Black Harlequin. So, you're in good company, LOL.

Oh, forgot this year's addition to the Beatrice family, the Camille. Drat, now I have Beatrice on the Brain. I will have to go move my things out of my BZ Trophy bag into one of the Bea bags...

Thank you for all that information. I do remember the black harlequin from a couple years ago. I remember I saw it on...damn, I cannot recall the site, ooh, active endeavors. Yes, I ached over that one! I never ended up getting it as I started on Rebecca Minkoff instead. To this day I wish I had though. I adore the shape and size. I have a pallenburg duffle with the olive,red,navy print. It's a bit too small for me now, though. I used to have the Vargas tote which was absolutely wonderful, but the sound of the moving chain bothered me. I wish I'd never sold it now, though. The leather was amazing. I have crushes on thick, thick leather. Pebbled especially. I love the satin finished leather as well. I have a Rebecca Minkoff MAB in flat iron grey and that has a powdery/satin feel to it. I think though, I have rekindled my love for HH. While I am smitten with RM, HH is so whimsical and adorable. Again, thank you for all your help and your lovely picture of your beatrices which I am completely envious of.

I Love the floral one. What's the name of that one? (before my time unfortunately)

As far as I know, the original Beatrice bags were not given names. They were "red floral" and "green floral". This is red floral with saddle leather. The green floral has chalk white leather. I believe there have only been 5 printed Beatrice designs plus this season's Beatrice Camille. Personally, I'm glad they started naming them. It is easier to say than reciting the color, print and leather trim.

I so want an all-leather Beatrice. Either color is fine with me.

Those scarves are gorgeous. Love the mellow tones. Faf, the one on the left looks like it is screaming "take me home...I will rock with the olive Biblio".

My DH and I are in the middle of a feud right now. We are looking at side chairs for our living room. My DH loves french country design and I'm more of a Minimalist Nappa Valley design lover. Here are the 2 chairs we are fighting over..
I like the one of the left and he like the one on the right

fafnir · Jun 9th, 2009, 11:52 AM

lulu, I'm with you. The chair on the left. It's perfect.

hokka · Jun 9th, 2009, 12:39 PM

lulu, i love both, but for a single chair like that, i like the statement that red makes.
