Well, I dont do chains usually, but I must admit I love the effect in sandys minisofia!
And Ignacio is so kind! always thinking about us!

No Cute · Nov 21st, 2008, 06:51 PM

Can't get any chains (drat) but continuing the sentiment about what a kind business gentleman Ignacio is!

No Cute · Nov 21st, 2008, 06:54 PM

Can someone fill me in? Is it 15% discount? I seem to recall that.

newbaglover · Nov 21st, 2008, 06:55 PM

Yes, is 15% discount OR suede lining

No Cute · Nov 21st, 2008, 07:18 PM

Yippee!!! Thank you!

I do love those chain handles - I'm thinking since I'm dying for an ostrich bag, maybe the Veronica Max in the purple ostrich with the chain strap. How heavy are these chain handles?

newbaglover · Nov 22nd, 2008, 04:03 AM

Suzee, I think the chains are a little heavy, maybe for a bigger bag ( even the minisofia) they would be ok, but the veronica max is flat, and I think the chains would be too big for that bag.
- Maybe the veronica max AND a minisofia with chains?

I must tell you, the ostrich is so gorgeous that you are going to want more!

I think it would only be one strap like the Milly, but I think you may be right - those chain links are substantial looking. Ignacio said he could do it, but I think he was possibly just trying to be accommodating as he is so nice.

I so want an ostrich bag - this is the first nice bag line where I've seen affordable exotic skins and I'm sure they won't always be affordable so I do want to get a bag, but which one to get is the question

sandysandiego · Nov 22nd, 2008, 07:54 AM

The chains are quite chunky - probably too much so for a small bag. I got some ostrich samples and the leather is so soft! Maybe someone could talk Ignacio into an Ostrich promotion!

No Cute · Nov 22nd, 2008, 09:28 AM

Suzzeee, Ignacio told me the chains were too big for Tango Max, which looks a bit bigger than Veronica Max (could be wrong). You can ask, but I think the clutches are too small proportionally.

elizat · Nov 22nd, 2008, 10:00 AM

Ugggh. I think I'm going to break down and order a chain handle midi Sofia in a tinted leather. I'll rationalize it b/c of the fact that I have only spent about $50 shopping for Christmas for 6 relatives due to using points from reward programs to buy gift cards and have been making jewelry for the women (and I'm done w/ all of them!). Kind of proud of the budget savvy-ness. Retail, I probably would have spent about $300 or so.

No Cute · Nov 22nd, 2008, 10:02 AM

Yes, yes, rationalize the chains!!!!

elizat · Nov 22nd, 2008, 10:10 AM

^ lol. I have a feeling that I will. I need to sit down and look at the leather catalog. If only he'd do an ostrich promo for the new year! That would be really awesome.

Suzzeee · Nov 22nd, 2008, 02:35 PM

Ostrich promo would be amazing!! I'm now thinking maybe that midi-sophia would look amazing in ostrich with the chain handles - there are just too many options!!

sandysandiego · Nov 23rd, 2008, 09:26 AM

Which color Suzee?
