Beautiful, looks very classy!
Well done.....Did you only buy 1 bag?

Taz · Oct 4th, 2009, 04:52 AM

Thats a lovely bag, the leather looks so soft.

I also like the fact that its a logo free bag, but still makes a big statement.

hulahoop · Oct 4th, 2009, 04:52 AM

It looks lovely SJ

And how lucky for a bag thats not even been released, to show up at the outlet at just the right time!! Congratulations!

You still need some more colour in your collection though, right?!

Is the mabel hobo going back? (I assumed from your other post that it would)... I love mine, but agree the colour might not be for everyone

Slowhand · Oct 4th, 2009, 05:01 AM

Oooh SJ that is one classy bag you have there.

Perfect for work and dressy evenings out too. Fabulous.

salikons · Oct 4th, 2009, 05:15 AM

Congratulations, looking forward to modelling pics

riffraff · Oct 4th, 2009, 05:27 AM

Utterly gorgeous SJ, many congratulations, bet it looks fabulous on you.

TrashedBride · Oct 4th, 2009, 05:37 AM

SJ, that is just GORGEOUS... My kinda bag, 100%. She looks really comfortable to wear, glamorous with an edge yet classic too... Perfect. Can't wait to see modelling pics to get an idea of size etc... Congratulations on the dream job AND the dream bag, you lucky lucky girl! X

Flossie · Oct 4th, 2009, 05:48 AM

Good choice SJ , I love my Abigail clutch and think the clasp is what makes this bag .
Abigail rocks ! ( even though it got slated on another thread )

sarajane · Oct 4th, 2009, 05:57 AM

Thank you all for your lovely comments girls. I didn't know that it was an unreleased bag until the SA told me so it was definitely a case of right time, right place.
BTW, DH thought it was hysterical that all the SAs knew me! I think he might have rumbled how often I go to SM now!

Maple, the leather is soft matte. I think it must be new. It"s thicker than pebbled and softer too, definitely more substantial than spongy.
It's lined with black fabric, two inside pockets and a magnetic clasp fastening which is fine as I live in safe old Wiltshire. Anyway, the clasp is big enough to take someone's eye out!

Jo, this bag could have been made for me! It combines everything I love, shape, bit of bling, softness and that bit of edginess.

I'm stuck in Caerphilly at the moment at son no 1's roller hockey training (lucky me!) I'll do modelling pix later. Size wise, it's smaller than Mitzy hobo, comparable to Hanover.

Hula, I loved the green Mabel although I wasn't totally sure about the colour on me. I will be returning it but will add one colourful bag to finish my collection, for now. That'll probably be Daria hobo in burnt orange.

Love Abigail SJ can't wait to see modelling pics later. From your description it might be at the top of my list for new season. Do you know what other colours it might come in?

sarajane · Oct 4th, 2009, 06:18 AM

Bluecat, the SAs didn't know as they haven't had details of the new collection yet. I'm back at Shepton later this month for an event so I'll see if I can find out more.

tireebabe · Oct 4th, 2009, 06:21 AM

What a gorgeous bag SJ and great to find it at the outlet. I was flitting between your threads trying to find a photo of what you bought and now I have it was worth the flit.

It looks really lovely, I hope you enjoying carrying her.

TheaBerry · Oct 4th, 2009, 06:45 AM

wow! that bag is truly elegant and stylish! Perfect for you new job

again, congrats on the new job and the bag that came with it!

had to laugh when I read what you have written re your DH

crystal tips · Oct 4th, 2009, 07:03 AM

totally gorgeous sj , how lucky for you to be there at the right time- must be fate. enjoy her

Poppy bagfan · Oct 4th, 2009, 07:23 AM

Bit late to this but OMG what a gorgeous gorgeous bag! I have often wondered why Abigail was not sold in leather - it as only the suede that put me off (I am an abuser not a babyer of bags)...this is sheer perfection! Huge congratulations!
