Hhhaha. linpaddy, I hope DH gives you a priceless reaction

Just compare it to one of his obsessions if he has one. I always use my boyfriend's "CAR" vs. my handbags. He spends $xxxx on 4 car rims that I seem to think is pointless and I spend $xxxx on something on my arm. We went through that argument/talk before and it's been GREAT ever since. We finally came to an understanding that both of us have DIFFERENT obsessions and both are worth our happiness

She came without a tag and I wasn't that pleased with the color AT FIRST. I mean, what was I thinking? I hate grey. It washes me out. But after carrying her around the house, she started to grow on me. She's actually the perfect size for my build and the lambskin is lusciously soft. The dye is just fantastic on this purse. The colors in the pictures are very true to real life.

So here she is! She's here with Ms Pinky, my lovely virginal (never used) frame purse. As you can see, Ms Pinky is not that big of a purse. She's just a tad taller and wider.

wow, they're both so gorgeous. I wish i could have either one....especially the pink...makes me wish for a Gauffre too

Linpaddy... I see you've been vewy vewy baaad! Lovely gaufres!!! But you already knew I would say that.... LOL. I love the comparison pic though. It really highlights the pink and the grey tone of each bag. Wonderful taste, I must say!!!

Marose,

The lighting wasn't the greatest, but it's a darker brown. It has a detachable strap and is a large bag.

When I was in Barneys (Boston) I was carrying it and the SA there told me that my bag was sold out and hard to find.

Is this true?

I just love it!!

Thank you so much! I was initially really unsure since I'm not into grey. But it's a really pretty grey and the color is very even. Hopefully, I'll be able to wear it out soon.

Surprisingly, it matches a lot of my outfits but I haven't had time to use it.

I did order the tall shopper in the same version from BF but it was huge. Same price though.

marose28, you're finally back on the forum! Yeah, I guess you'll say that I've been BAD. Hee Hee.

I haven't even used the pink frame purse and am already thinking about the new Fall bags/shoes. Oh gosh...

Plus, my SA from Nordies just called. Their yearly sale is going to start soon...

I finally have my most coveted Prada purse, Gaufre Satchel from Fall 2006...thanks to Sharon! I love it.
