Ok, I decided to go for it and ordered a glossy ink blue emilia.

^^^That'll be gorgeous, LL. I did check the Ignes site leather catalog to confirm the name of 729, and it's pearlized charcoal.

Cool, thanks. I also added a mini ormala in the cherry red with silver hardware. I think it will be striking but will need reinforcement.

^^^Gorgeous! My friend was debating a cherry Ormala and I think is going Luisa for the cherry. She'll see yours and flip, I'll bet

oh my goodness, cherry is so popular!! And deservedly so!!

Wow, lionlaw, those bags sound stunning!!

I could use some advice. I want to order a cherry red bag. My options are Mini-E and Josephine. Here are my pros and cons:

Mini-E Pros:

I think Cherry Red would be best in this style.
I like this shape bag a lot.

Mini E Cons:

I have a Mini-E on the way. Although I do have a large bag collection, I don't have so many to be repeating styles. Plus, who knows if I will actually like this in real life.

Josephine Pros:

Has a zipper.
Is a hobo shape, like the Mini-E, which I prefer.

Josephine Cons:

I'm not sure I completely dig the shape - looks a bit squarish to me.

sandysandiego · Jun 23rd, 2009, 12:26 PM

I love the Mini E! For some reason the Josephine doesn't appeal to me. The cherry red is lovely leather.

elizat · Jun 23rd, 2009, 12:28 PM

^ I agree. I had a Josephine and sold it. It was too square, flat and not hobo-ish enough for me. I much prefer the mini Emilia of the two.

Ms.Lizardo · Jun 23rd, 2009, 01:20 PM

Well....I'm #3 vote for the mini-E...Josephine doesn't appeal to me either...

And that cherry red leather...ever since Duranie swooned all over it it has been in the back of my mind. Good choice!!

starkfan · Jun 23rd, 2009, 01:22 PM

If you prefer the style of the Mini E, I really think that's the one you ought to go for. The Josephine definitely doesn't seem like a conventionally-slouchy hobo, so it may not be worth taking the risk on the Josephine if you're uncertain about the style.

Euridice · Jun 23rd, 2009, 01:50 PM

I was trying to find a picture of a josephine in cherry red that was posted in MArch sometime and I am not finding it! It was GORGEOUS! I like the Josephine but it is a different shape from our beloved Emilia, to be sure.

Perhaps your mini-E on order and cherry red are different enough from one another, Jane*Bond?? But I think the cherry red is outstanding in the Josephine.

lionlaw · Jun 23rd, 2009, 01:51 PM

Jane-- STEP AWAY from the Josephine. I dont dig the shape either and know it would bother me after a while. The cherry red is so slouchy that I think it screams to be made in an emilia. I went crazy and went for a cherry red mini-o (crazy Vicodin purchase #4) but an emilia actually works with the leather

Jane*Bond · Jun 23rd, 2009, 04:22 PM

Thanks for the advice everyone - I ordered the Mini-E!

Euridice · Jun 23rd, 2009, 04:31 PM

yay!! It will be perfect. luscious leather!!

sillykitty · Jun 25th, 2009, 11:59 AM

I'm so tempted to order another bag.... Glossy Ink Blue Mini Gabby... or ... ??
