I added a pic of the grey alongside the royal purple.

Sandy...the pics aren't showing.

I'm dying to see...can you repost?

MorningGlory · Oct 25th, 2009, 01:28 PM

I want to see!! Definitely please repost.

sandysandiego · Oct 25th, 2009, 01:29 PM

Are they showing for you now?

starkfan · Oct 25th, 2009, 01:32 PM

Ooh, it's stunning, sandy, congrats!! Love the purple lining against the black leather too! Quick question, do you feel the crinkled patent is too shiny in a bigger bag like this, or is it still acceptable? I'm considering a full-sized Ormala in black crinkled patent, so I'd love to find out how you feel about the amount of shine in your Virginia!

P.S. Yup, I'm seeing pics now, although I also had a problem before.

The thumbnails showed up....thanks! I love the black patent Virginia...I think it looks really formal and dressy. It looks like a totally different bag from the Royal Purple, all slouchy and casual!

sandysandiego · Oct 25th, 2009, 01:35 PM

I love this leather in this bag! An Ormala would be great too. I think that the crinkled patent is not as bright as a smooth patent. Really a great work bag! I think it is my favorite Virginia now.

starkfan · Oct 25th, 2009, 02:02 PM

^ Awesome, that's great to know that it doesn't seem as bright/shiny as a smooth patent, even in a larger bag! I definitely love how your Virginia works too, like sillykitty said, it looks formal and dressy, and definitely goes even better with the chains! Thanks for your thoughts on the leather!

OMGosh, Sandy! I just got a sample of this leather yesterday and adore it! I have been thinking of a bag in it since I got it! I was considering the Virginia (with purple lining!) or a mini chiara but I really love the Virginia in this! Wow!!! Stunning! I was actually searching for this bag last night since I saw you had ordered one!! I believe I know what direction I'm going now! Beautiful, Sandy!

Sandy, that is a very pretty bag! I do like the crinkle patent leather with this style.

JRed · Oct 25th, 2009, 11:13 PM

Wow, another gorgeous Virginia in your collection! Congrats, Sandy!!!!
