Questions about putty and coral leopard print

[mamabenny]

I am very keen on the putty-probably the Clutch as I think it's more versatile and I'm worried it won't make the sale Those handbag imps are whispering into both ears at the moment...

MB. I know and it's not so expensive which mitigates the ever present guilt!

^^The problem is I'm in lust with the shimmy too- maybe the quilted

I saw the quilted oak Hobo and Tote today. Lovely but not as nice as Jackies RN. I like the black soft matte with the gold hardware too. It is really classy.

That's the problem- I *need* a smart black bag and I am thinking the shimmy might fit the bill but the RN quilted is TDF....

The shimmy tote without the strap is as elegant as it gets. The leather is gathered in a lovely pleat in the middle and it sits over your arm perfectly. Then with the strap you could wear it with jeans.

I'm talking myself into it now

Not very PC but every time I see them I imagine them with zips and handles. O/T Did you register for the cheap Abigail promotion? I was going to post on the shopping forum but it's only Glasgow HOF. It's a raffle for their 160th birthday and if you win you get to buy a Cerise Abigail or a Chocolate Abigail E/W for £160. I think they are about £795 retail. I think I'll post anyway. I was thinking there is only us and LMM that are in Glasgow but Flossie, Selkie and Tiree are in striking distance too possibly. And I have maybe forgotten others. The draw isn't for two weeks. You have depressed me with the purple/grey patent selling out. I don't want to pay full price.

Its croc print, like your printed bays! It was £650 but at least 2 ladies were admiring it when I was there, so I think it was probably snapped up very quick! It was lovely, lipstick red, so shiny and classy looking!

I heard about the promotion when I was in last week, I dont think I'd buy an abigail now, even at 160, so I havent signed up. The cerise colour is tdf though. Good luck to you and anyone else on here who signs up though!

It sounds like you're talking yourself out of a bays clutch and into a shimmy tote!

Oh I'd be selling it on or raffling it for charity. They are not my cup of tea at all. I'd try first to ask for £160 off something I actually wanted instead. They are obviously trying to shift the slow movers.

^^^I could be talked into both of those-should probably do as corries suggests and sell that spare kidney

I need to get a life or get a grip.

Too right! I love Flossie's clutch, just the right combo of colour and bling, but I just couldnt go near the regular abigail. It would be a better promotion if the winner got to choose any bag they wanted for £160! Leopard ahoy!

Totally go for it corrie, just think 99% of your house money is probably going to be spent wisely, a wee treat every now and again is a good thing.

I'm too good to myself though. I am always guilty. I hide stuff I buy even when OH doesn't care. It's second nature.

It doesn't stop me though

Corries, I also like the putty over the coral. They're both gorgeous but the coral makes my complexion look ghastly. If I had even an ounce of belief that I could pull off leopard print I'd go for the putty myself.

Lol at the handbag imps - they're littel devils aren't they?! I think I must have an infestation of them hanging around my pillow at night so that I think about handbags when I go to sleep and when I wake up!
