I just ordered the mini chiara in acqua from asteralice.com. I've been wanting to get a bag in this color range and was originally interested in the RM peacock, but I have RM bags in almost every style and I like variety, so I came across this acqua color on asteralice and decided to try it out.

The main reason that I chose the mini chiara in acqua over RM peacock is because of the size and the additional shoulder strap. I almost purchased the RM peacock devote on Bonanzle, but it's a huge bulky bag so I think it would look rediculous on my 5.'1 height. I have serious hand sweat problem so I can't do handheld bags in light colors, so the additionl shoulder strap on the mini chiara was what made me press the order button, and better yet, the strap is even adjustable!

Very exciting! I have looked at the Devote in Peacock on Bonanzle too, but am afraid of buying RM bags...

The Chiara sounds like it will be a nice fit for you!

Too bad I have to wait until July to be able to go pick up my bags in the US. The only bag that I will receive before July is the Tinted Wine Mini Ormala that will be delivered to me by the end of May. So excited!

irainei · May 12th, 2009, 05:34 PM

Ooh, was that also one that was on sale...you got a great deal! Can't wait to see it!

tejava · May 12th, 2009, 05:36 PM

Yes, I got it on sale with an additional 20% off, hope they will not cancel my order because last time I ordered a Treesje on sale with the 20% additional discount and CS sent me a letter saying the 20% is to be applied on full price items only, so had to cancel. Hope this time it will go through as I didn't see anything stating that the discount is for full price items only.

OMG! I ordered it less than an hour ago and I just got a shipping notice! That has broken the record of all my online purchases so far!

Mini C in acqua will be so gorgeous! Congrats! I think you'll love it!

I am waiting for a Veronica (with crossbody strap) right now, a gift for a friend. Cannot wait to see this beautiful leather!!! Maybe we will have reveals at a similar time? I'm excited about this bag and told my friend the classy Ignes wrapping would stay intact despite the pain it would cause me. She then said to open it and try it on before sending it to her (she knows of the bag as I asked her to approve the choices made, and she didn't change a thing. Yay for excellent handbag-friend knowledge.) So I will post pics of this beauty.

Anyway, very excited about your bag...and you'll have that gorgeous Asteralice lining!!!

No Cute: My mini O will be in Tinted Wine, and the acqua color that I purchased on asteralice is the mini Chiara.

No Cute · May 12th, 2009, 05:48 PM

Two Ignes on the way....Rock on, Tejava! A tinted wine Mini O will be amazing!

tejava · May 12th, 2009, 05:57 PM

No Cute: Actually 3 Ignes on the way.

1. Mini O tinted wine in production.
2. Mini Gabrielle cherry red purchased on Bonanzle.
3. Mini Chiara acqua purchased on asteralice.com.

Oh, how I love all the minis of IGNES!

ooh., this sounds so nice!!!! I can't wait to see. Can you please come to the States a little sooner so I can see your bags, lol!! Sorry you have to wait so long. I think it's great that people are ordering Ignes from Aster Alice; I love the selection they have of Ignes and the colors are great!!! Glad you found a good deal, and it's already being shipped!

newbaglover · May 13th, 2009, 03:26 AM

tejava, you are starting a great mini Ignes family! and the minichiara in acqua was a steal!
You must put a reveal for each bag, I want to keep drooling on your gorgeous bags until I got mine

starkfan · May 13th, 2009, 03:45 AM

Ooh, congrats on another Ignes, tejava! Wow, hehe, you're gonna have an amazing haul to bring back home when you visit the US in July...
