It seems he is doing away with studs- maybe it costs a lot. I did not see the Chiara there, no more Virginia..

That's a shame about the studs, I love that added touch of bling they bring to a bag.

thanks duranie for the review and pics! and a BIG thank you for the SF shoutout! I would LOVE to see Ignes in my neck of the woods.

Reagarding the studs - I do now recall having a conversation with Ignacio about why they were going to discontinue the Virginia. He said that it wasn't one of their biggest sellers in North America and he wasn't sure why, he thought maybe it was due to the studs.

LOL. . . no, I would just faint. . . forget the energy of the meltdown.

No studs???? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!. Well ladies, we're just going to have to send them to merrygold and let her work her magic.

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

There are so many stud crazy ladies here in this subforum (I almost typed "studforum" maybe I'm a little obsessed as well), that's hard to believe. I do think the Virginia seems to be a work-intensive bag. I love the Virginia, though!!

Duranie! You and Booklady are so wonderfully dedicated to all of us, leaving such glorious details even in the face of handbag-induced exhaustion! Your pictures are inspiring and I think you look stunning in the Gaby! And no more "Jabba" comments! I would kill to have your 5'8" gracefully-figured blonde good-looks!

duranie70 · Sep 23rd, 2008, 01:56 PM

Thank you HikerChick, that means a lot!

foul temptress · Sep 23rd, 2008, 02:42 PM

You met Carl Hiaasen???
I am seriously jealous!
I laugh just thinking about his books!

No more studs?!? We'll have to buy our own Bedazzlers!

Duranie,
We all owe you for taking and posting all the pics.
Especially the modelling pics.
It gives a whole new dimension to the bags!

Also, I think you look so lovely.
I always have the same reaction as you when I see pics of myself though.
(We are just about the same size and height btw, though I've got a few years on you)

Look at it this way.
You ever see a picture of yourself from 8-10 years ago?
Do you look at it and think, "Wow, look how thin, young and beautiful I was. I had it going ON"?
When you look at these Ignes pictures 10 years from now, you're going to say the same thing.

Luckily, your beauty is obvious to the rest of us right now!
