initially, i was planning on a much shorter reveal. actually, i was planning on getting no resort bags with no reveals. so much for either of those ideas. here we go!

aaaand to think, i almost returned this: the black kate. thanks to roboto who kept insisting that i was making a big mistake.

puddle of kate

i'd lost all hope that i would get a large single in a color i really wanted until beb rescued me! this is why i love my pf girls so much.

f/w 09 clay vs. resort 09 beige

finally, i wasn't planning on getting this, but i really couldn't help myself...

a rare modeling pic! i'll take pictures with me and the kate soon.

All those bags are absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the beige single.

I love the studs on the side of the Kate. And your single is tdf. The lzw is

You have a beautiful collection - the single looks gorgy on you!

Love that beige single! I've been looking for a modelling pic on the R09. Is the leather a lot different from the Fall 09 single? And is it slightly larger or about the same size?

That Kate is gorgeous!!! I think that style will last forever....perfect choice, Tad!

tadpolenyc · Nov 4th, 2009, 11:04 PM

thanks, lilah and tt!

goslim, thank you! yes, it's the same leather - lamb. there's more texture this season and it's not quite as smooth, but i feel a lot better about it since i think it'll be more durable/scratch resistant. it's the same size or should be!

That beige single is TDF. Your reveals always mess me up...

Thanks for the info, Tad! That's what I thought. I almost bought the F09 black large single but decided against it because the leather felt so soft, I was afraid I'd ruin it too fast. I think I'm leaning towards this one now.....your modeling pic really tempts me.

love the wallet! the kate looks like a great hobo as well.. congrats on your scores!

alouette · Nov 4th, 2009, 11:59 PM

OH I can't wait for the Kate modeling pics! Love all your loot!

indi3r4 · Nov 5th, 2009, 12:09 AM

finally!!

i'm in love with the Kate and her side studs..

the beige single is fabulous and look absolutely perfect on you..

that lzw, just perfection.. life changing really!

rachieface · Nov 5th, 2009, 12:28 AM

Yay you modeled with your floppy coat!

I wasn't sure you were convinced on the Kate at all but I think she is an awesome everyday bag and is a good alternative to the MP's you say you just pick up and run with.

Your Single and LZW are gorgie too! You deserve a high five.

Joke · Nov 5th, 2009, 02:38 AM

Thanks for comparing the clay with the beige. I can now see the difference you were speaking of~
