Yayayayay, elizat! Gold and gold hardware! YAYAYA!

Euridice · Jan 15th, 2009, 03:28 PM

yes. gold bottom a la royalwink = good idea!!

knasarae · Jan 15th, 2009, 03:57 PM

Could someone forward me the sale info as well? Or just let me know if the Cognac leather is included. Euridice was gracious enough to lend me her samples and it is the most gorgeous color.

Cognac nappa is listed.

Euridice · Jan 15th, 2009, 04:06 PM

cognac! oh my gosh, how exciting!! just check with Ignacio, please to make sure the number matches the number on your swatch....so I won't lead astray to the wrong cognac!!! (although I think there is only one cognac....)

Newbie confusion here. As I've been planning my first Ignes, does this 35% offer include additional changes? As long as we use the selected leathers, can we add suede lining and change strap length etc?

I've wondered too. I think emailing Ignacio is the way to find out for sure. Maybe the modifications aren't on sale but the base bag is? Or maybe all of it. Don't know.

i just got an email from maria. she said "We also have ultra-soft suede lining -which is 15% extra- and colours which could go well include raspberry, lilac, red, gold, electric blue, etc (I attach a few choices) and even some options with “splattered” gold (such as gold, chocolate or raspberry)."

so that means the sale price + suede lining = 20% off in the end, i think?

i'm definitely going the sofia route in tinted wine. recos for lining colours? i want it to be contrasty but not clashy. something fun and unexpected.

thanks!

^ Not sure. I know that normal a discount w/ them just rolls everything into one. I want to lengthen the strap drap of the mini Ormala myself. Ignacio is out of town today and tomorrow- Maria is covering his email for now.

She replied back w/ leather questions. The bottom can be done as long as it is a sale color.

I don't know whether to do w/ leather- it is b/t raspberry, aubergine, or the bordeaux. I think the bordeaux will be a redder purple color and the aubergine a little more purple, if that makes sense. Input?!

The CAN do the tinted leather on a mini Ormala but have to use special backing, so it is not something that I think is recommended.

Also, old stud placement on the bag is no longer available.

sandysandiego · Jan 15th, 2009, 07:22 PM

So exciting for you all!!

Eli, I would probably go with a thicker leather. On my grey Mini Ormala they reinforced it and one side is not quite right. With a thicker leather you won't have to worry about that. Isn't the cognac thicker? So pretty!

I really love the thinner leathers in the Sofia.

sandysandiego · Jan 15th, 2009, 07:22 PM

Euridice-so funny! Yes, I am on a ban! I have way to many bags. Trying to sell some just to make room! It is hard to let some go though.

The reinforcement was my concern too and how it would wear. I was afraid of that.

The leather swatch pictured is bordeaux and it is a thicker leather. My other thoughts are that or aubergine or the raspberry. They are similar in color, just having a hard time picking.

What about lilac or gold with the tinted wine? The raspberry, which I have in my Ormala and simply love, might not be too fun if I am imagining the tinted wine correctly.

Elizat, purple purple purple...lol. I am SO sad the old stud placement isn't available. Although it would only be an issue on another work bag for me as I feel the strength of the three studs is needed for all my "stuff."

Mentha · Jan 15th, 2009, 09:29 PM

Elizat , all three leathers look great
is the bordeaux pebbled , is that a factor for you ?
I totally loved the raspberry ormalas looked great in that style

Euridice · Jan 16th, 2009, 01:06 AM

Where is greenpixie? Cause that looks just like her purple mini O!!

Bordeaux would be nice....I love pebbled leather, and I think that would add interest to the Ormala style. That's a hard decision!!

tinted wine: gold or lilac sounds nice! Is there gray suede? I have that with my patent wine and it's tdf!
