Hope these help Tiree. Modeling pics are on the way. DD is doing the modeling in her fluffy dressing gown.

Though both colourways are gorgeous, I do think you'll get more use out of the putty. Is it just the price holding you back?

^ how lovely to see both together, that will really help with your decision :)

cmaec · Oct 31st, 2009, 04:24 PM

And some more.

Tiree that is probably the first time I have had them side by side and I have to say the putty feels more substantial. Something more luxurious about it. Maybe its the smooth patent against the wrinkled patent? The navy was bought pre loved so maybe it has softened. Putty still has a new feel to her .

Thank you so much cmaec, and thanks to your DD for the fab modeling.

My mind is definately made up....I can't choose so I'll have to have both, lol - I wish.

KLP, yes definately the price. If it were £400 ish I wouldn't be hesitating. I called Hoopers in Harrogate today about their navy Bays and they are selling it at £695 less 10%, crazy.

I have to say your navy Bays looks much nicer than the one on ebay tonight. The seller sent over 50 photos of it and with the one photo of yours I can tell your's is in a much nicer condition.

But, is it worth full price with 2 months to the sale?

I have been using the purse continually for over two weeks. It's not got a mark on it and it has been in handbags along with my keys and phone. And the purse hasn't got the lovely suede backing that the bag does.

I've never seen patent like it. I used a Spaz Bays last night and it isn't in the same class.

tireebabe · Oct 31st, 2009, 05:00 PM

^^ Oh Corrie that's great to hear. Can feel myself planning a trip on Tuesday :-)

mamabenny · Oct 31st, 2009, 05:05 PM

well tiree, I'm no good to give you advice-my putty Bays clutch arrived and it's TDF

(Reveal to follow in next few days, when DH isn't under my feet

) The putty clutch is almost sold out everywhere so I bit the bullet and decided not to wait for the sale

Now I have to clear out the closets and part with a few beauties that I never get around to using

I think i'm at the guilt stage of the Mulberry addiction

tireebabe · Oct 31st, 2009, 05:14 PM

Oh MB, try not to feel too guilty. What bags are in your collection anyway? Would love to hear.

Can't wait for your reveal.

Glad it arrived safe and sound MB. I opened the Putty Bays in HOF today and OMG the dark suede is gorgeous.

When OH goes to bed I'm STILL taking out my purse and staring at how the light catches the glossy surface. Any accessory left in the Sale I am going to try and snap up. Esp something Coral.

Slowhand · Oct 31st, 2009, 05:21 PM

Well Tiree - I am the only person on the planet who doesn't love Bays but even I think the putty is one stunning lady. Go for it girl

mamabenny · Oct 31st, 2009, 05:23 PM

I got embarassed looking at my signature a while back so I took it off

As Jevova's Chinese proverb says -she who has too many bags has no signature

The evidence of my collection is in my albums!

But the putty is a beauty-you should go for it!!!!
