What do you think of these, aside from not being in love w/ the pink? Happy?

I already bought the choo for her. I will just have my friend list the pink on the bay if I decide not to keep it.

Both bags are made really well. The stitching and edging is perfect and the purple lining is gorgeous. I think it is my favorite lining period of any bag. The color is just so deep and purple. The lilac love me midi is a bag I will never part with. It is just a special color that you dont find anywhere and is a new fav of mine. It puddles too! Here is a pic with nothing in it:

The Choo will be a great gift! You should really try Bonanzle if you don't decide it is a keeper. Much lower fees and you still have seller protection when accepting paypal. I think it would go pretty quickly there- it is a unique leather. Most BE listings are on Bonanzle now- only one on Ebay I think, but 14 or 15 on Bonanazle.

Those bags are outstanding, Lionlaw!! I LOVE that purple lining, I need to order another BE just to get that!

Those are perfect spring bags. In fact, I'll be happy to use them for you next April. Mark your calendar! lol!

Oh, I also noticed your Scottish-isms in a post edit the other day- you crack me up!

Yes, I pop an "indeed" in here and there to see if you notice, but this time I think it just came out naturally, indeed!

When I was in SF last late December, I went to museten to examine BE and RM in person. I got a wallet to switch into for summer, and I finally did that today!

It's dark turquoise with orange stitching. I wanted to do an orange bag with turquoise stitching from Ignes, but they didn't have the old orange.

Great wallet! Love the colors!

Euridice · May 13th, 2009, 07:30 PM

thanks, no cute! It's a cheery wallet, actually, with all the colors.

lionlaw · May 13th, 2009, 07:34 PM

It is so bright and cheerful- love the pop of color inside.

elizat · May 13th, 2009, 07:56 PM

Okay, the Black Minna arrived today!

A little misshapen from shipping at the base, but I am stretching her out w/ cans inside on a door knob. Plus, the top has to slouch/fold down, like the RM Nikki and that is what the RM girls do... so I am doing it! Oh, and the lining is purple. Forgot to take a photo.

Chain handle

Leather close up- see what I mean w/ the texture and slight sheen? Kind of edgy and reminds me a bit of the BE glossy pebbled in some photos.

Euridice · May 13th, 2009, 08:04 PM

ooooh!!!!! Very NICE! Love that chain handle detail. This hobo looks great, and yes, one must get the nikki fold!! Or in this case, the Minna fold!!!!

JRed · May 13th, 2009, 08:09 PM

Lionlaw, I love the lilac BE! It's so pretty and huggable looking.

Euridice, your wallet is so cute. Great colour combo! Virginia's looking awesome too.

elizat, niiice!!! I can see myself carrying your bag.

elizat · May 13th, 2009, 08:10 PM

Euridice- really cute wallet!

Thanks, E and J! It does need the breaking in, I agree. Hopefully the cans on the door handle trick will do it!

sandysandiego · May 13th, 2009, 08:26 PM

Eli-I really like the chain detail on the handle! The leather looks really nice.

Euridice - great wallet! I like the bright colors. I am glad you are using your Virginia!

LL - I am loving the lilac! The pink is so soft and feminine looking!

Does the stitching match the pink Virginia? Wow!
