Wowza, what a wonderful summer bags! Your summer is gonna be great, so many beautiful bags to choose from. Love the soft maize on the Petra, very pretty!

I love the Petra and the Gabby! Both leathers are so pretty. I really think they did an excellent job finding a true turquoise leather.

JOY JOY JOY!

That Petra makes me smile, it looks like such a sunshiny bag.

And the patent Luka?
Divine darling, just divine.

Love all the happy happy colors. And the strap on your Luka, just genius! As fr your special zipper on your Emilia, so cool!

I love all of these! Even though it is a colorful collection, they can all be worn as neutrals! I especially like that burned orange (makes me wish I pulled the trigger on that color when the spring colors came out) and that Luka! Divine! Enjoy!

Wow, they're all stunning! Congratulations! I especially love the Mini Gabrielle and the Mini Emilia. Great lining choices as well, and nice touch on the semi-hidden zipper! (Heh, I might have to borrow that one and see if they'll be willing to make that modification later on...

)

I want to see the turquoise IRL, it seems gorgeous at the pics, so IRL it must be divine! arent you excited?

Thanks, newbaglover!! I am very VERY excited!! I have been dreaming of summery bright colors, so I will be psyched to get them!!!

Yes, I know we are zipper twins on our mini emilias!!! I'm really excited a bout this turquoise, I have no idea exactly what it will be like, you know, but I know it will be very pretty regardless.

Thanks, Ms. L!! Well, I have talked in the past about how the color of Ignes zippers can be just not right, like a nice bag with a big ol' white zipper on it or something. That is what I have on my light taupe Emilia. So, I asked Ignacio if they could possibly take a piece of leather, like a frame and put it on the zipper to frame the zipper and cover up the fabric a little bit.

AFter Ignacio found that they could do it, he didn't want me to say anything until they knew how it would work. So, I was expected this framing around the zipper, but it's like Sandy described it, kinda. Ignacio assures me I will be able to open the zipper!!

If it works and people like it, he says, they might make it standard on teh bag. I'll be curious what NBL thinks when she gets hers...as the designer, she should make that call, I think!

i love these bags...
the mini emilia is too cute for words...

Ms.Lizardo · May 31st, 2009, 11:54 AM

Coming back to drool again...

....I love that Turquoise Gabby!

thanks, patchworkcat!!!

The mini Emilia has a different zipper. As for the color, who knows!! My swatch was a dark blue (Irainei sent it to me, thanks Rainy!!) that was pebbled yet smoothish and the softest leather ever!! I could ball it up easily. The back of it had a greenishness that implied it was actually teal but I wasn't sure. Then I saw ivysun's teal mini gabby from Aster Alice and decided to go for it. At first, I thought I would get maybe champagne braiding in case the color was too dull for me, then, well, based on ivysun's pics I went for all teal.

At the last minute, I asked for champagne and teal braiding but alas! The bag was finished and about to be dispatched, indeed (lol! A little Ignacio for you).

Maria referred to it as blue, while in the pics it looks dark green or something. We'll see!!!
