Hi, I found my camera cord! I knew if I ordered a new one I would find this one, lol!

So, time to do some revealing! Here is my soft maize Petra, without the vertical straps on it, with brushed gold HW and purple fabric lining. Love it! It is completely unreinforced so as to be a real smooshfest. The color is a pale yellow, and the leather surface is smooth, somewhat matte, but with an interesting sheen to it, almost a silvery sheen but not literally silver, of course. The pictures do not show it quite as pale as it is, I think, but close enough.

Euridice!
She's beautiful!
Yellow and purple are my fave combo.
Yellow is definitely my new favorite color for a bag.

I want to take the journey to Petra too!

Like buttah!

She is stunningly beautiful. I love the pop of purple inside.

starkfan · Jun 21st, 2009, 01:12 PM

Ooh, very pretty bag! Congrats! I love the contrast with the purple lining too. Would you say that the colour of the lining is accurate in your pics? (Wish Ignes had a purple suede too!)

thanks, Starkfan!! I think the purple is fairly close, I think it is really pretty and not pale at all. I too wish there were a rich purple suede!! I have to purple also in my red millie max.
