Lionlaw, am I correct that you are in London? Will you be attending? Anyone else?

Good to see you dropping in!

No, I am near NYC in Northern NJ. I order way too many Jimmy Choo bags from a UK SA in London so that could be where you got London from.

Hope you can drop in on Ignes while you are in London and tell us all the scoop from the other side of the pond!

Lionlaw, you're right - I guess I just associate you with Jimmy Choo, so I think of you as being English! I will do my best to drop in on the Ignes event and meet Maria. I will keep you all posted.

lionlaw, don't you end up paying a much higher price considering the exchange rate?

[horsetrader]

It could be worse - I have to pay the Canadian exchange rate when I order from Choo and our dollar is dropping daily. I love the Choo site though - they ship to me in western Canada within three days sometimes.
I don't have so many of their bags - but I can't get enough of their shoes.

Ok, back to Ignes talk. I don't know why, but I still haven't carried my raspberry Ormala even once. I must remedy this....I have had it for months. I admire it on my shelf, but never seem to pick it up. I think perhaps I have too many other bags. At the moment I am addicted to my python Tia D'Angel tote.

Oooh you should carry it horsetrader! Although I can see why you are still carrying your gorgeous python.

I have been carrying my MO for the past few days and she is such a great bag. The purple leather is more structured than the tinted leathers, but it is getting nice and soft, which I am loving. It is the perfect mix of soft-yet-structured.

Such yummy talk of gorgeous bags!

What do you all think of this idea? A thread with bags holding water bottles like Linda (wasn't it Linda that did the Sesame Street Count post?)? So we can really "get" sizes.

No, because of JCs prices. The pounds amount does not always equate out to what the US boutiques are selling them for. Not sure how it works, but deducting the vat and taxes and given the current exchange rates, I get bags about 25% off of the current US prices for the cruise bags. For example, my new elaphe snake ramona sells for $3,600 in the US boutiques. I paid $1,527 pounds which amounted to around $2,500.

I have been starring at these bags! What color is your tote? I was thinking of getting the red one, but then my ruby croc popped up and shot the budget this month.

LOVE, LOVE the color!

You go girl!

So Ignes crew, with Xmas around the corner, is anyone ordering Ignes as gifts for others or themselves?

[JRed]

For Christmas, I really want to order some leather pouches for my cousins. Ignacio said that they will be available on the website in time.

For myself, possibly a mini Chiara in patent leather.

[No Cute]

Ordered pouches as gifts: for niece, friend's dd, and Mom's three special private aids.
