He said a lot of girls just send him a picture from tpf saying, "I want that leather" Ignacio will be adding a lot more leathers to the look book.

I think I have to have it.

OK everyone - going to bed.
The balloons helped me find the Ignes table when I got there. LOL

Yes, it was Rebecca Minkoff stuff next to him. WOW those 2 ladies were glaring for sooo long, even my friend noticed. They could not believe we were giving Ignes so much attention. It looked like they could not understand what was going on.

Best was I was on line to gte a free massage and someone walked over and said, "Ohhhh an Ignes bag, are you with them or a fan?" LOL

I'm upset, I thought I took a pic w/ Francis. It was not on the table, you had to ask. That is my next bag. (But I have Gabrielle in cracked purple on order)

OOOH the new Millie has no feet, you have to request it.

Ignacio said if a bag is ugly, he will not make it.
His wife kissed me good bye... I don't think I hugged him... I'm a shy sort. I already looked at the pics of me modeling Gabby and am horrified- wow the chins, I am Jabba The Hut there..UGH too late to take off.

OK night night everyone!

I'm really diggin' this new leather!!!

Thanks again duranie70 for the FAB photos ~ so glad you & Booklady made it and got to meet the man behind our gorgeous customized bags!!!

You look absolutely gorgeous modeling the fabulous Ignes bags and clutches!!!

That is so funny that Ignacio immediately recognized you by your Virginia!!! And wicked cool that he signed it ~ so, I believe you are the only one with a signed Ignes bag!!!

Sounds like you had a blast ~ I felt like I was right there next to you with your terrific reporting and wonderful pics!!!

When I spoke with Pamela, BagTrends founder, earlier today to ensure she received the balloon bouquet, she said there will be Arm Candy Party events outside NYC ~ I asked if she would please host one in the Boston area so other east coast folks could make it and meet the handbag designers!!! She said it is do-able because it's pretty close to NYC!!! So, hopefully, Ignes will participate whenever it goes to Boston!!!

I also asked for DC and San Francisco!!!

Oh wait- these are the cracked leathers. The far left is cracked purple. My friend LOVED the cracked green.

duranie70 · Sep 23rd, 2008, 01:16 AM

Oh in the goody bag was a $50 gift card for Bag Borrow or Steal and a key chain like charm. I saw booklady pleasure meeting you too.
Ignacio said it was the 1st handbag he ever signed. LOL
Ok bed- really.

Euridice · Sep 23rd, 2008, 01:28 AM

Sweet dreams of handbag bliss!! I don't know how you're gonna wind down after this, I'd be bouncing off the ceilings. What a special experience, thanks again to you and Booklady for reporting back to the rest of us!!

"designers!!! She said it is do-able because it's pretty close to NYC!!! So, hopefully, Ignes will participate whenever it goes to Boston!!!

Dsrk, thanks for putting in the plug for DC, and I'm ready to sign up for all of these, even SF!!

dsrk · Sep 23rd, 2008, 01:36 AM

^^^ I figure it can't hurt to ask for big cities ~ especially one on each coast!

I know you & kuwa could benefit from DC and zuzu maxx from San Francisco!!

Goodnight duranie70 ~ sweet

Thanks dsrk for the SF shout out! I would LOVE LOVE it.

dsrk · Sep 23rd, 2008, 01:48 AM

^^^ Wicked awesome baghag411 ~ I don't know where you, frangelica, adoptastray, or momo43 are in relation to San Francisco. Hopefully, there will be an event there and Ignes will participate ~ then you gals can check it out and report back to us!!!

frangelica · Sep 23rd, 2008, 02:58 AM

Great posting duranie...glad you had a great time. I am in awe of your autographed bag. How kewl is that?

Dsrk thanks for the nod to SF with Bagtrends. That would be a very dangerous place for baghag411 and me and possibly Ignacio

Baghag411 can get a little excited over purses and might go into meltdown

LindaP · Sep 23rd, 2008, 06:18 AM

Wow Duranie, these pics are AWESOME! And bless your heart for taking modeling pics, you ROCK!

The bags look great, I am even more in love with the Gabrielle now and the Carla looks better in person than the stock pic.

This was such a treat, thanks again for going and taking all these wonderful piccis!
