Ancient Artifact - Lost Art!

KathyinCanada · Jun 19th, 2008, 11:09 PM

Woweeee! That is one gorgeous bag

It's looks good on you too

I love that smooshy leather. I think it is similar to the leather of my LP Piper Tote (except it's brown not olive) so I can tell you that it is definitely going to get better with age (even though it looks great now!)

Here's a pic so you can see the similarity:

Love the bag Tygerkitty! I have a Ms Fit on the way in military green but in lenny leather so I'm not sure how it compares but I love the color of your Lost Art.

Thank you Alex!!!!!! The leather is VERY cool and all different tones all over which makes me love it even more (which is weird since I usually like "perfect" bags! lol) I would love to see this bag again too... it is really terrific! I'm SOOOOOOOO going to use this one tomorrow! Thanks for the info!

Thank you tachikomatic and darcy! Your comments are so sweet!

Darcy - I can't wait to see how your lenny leather compares in a similar color! Please post pics when you get it!

Kathy.... thanks hun! What brand is LP? I love love love your bag.... the pockets and little pleats (or whatever you want to call them) on the pockets are fantastic! I also love the huge zipper pull.... that is terrific and yes, very similar in color and the leather looks similar too!

By the way..... the jeans/pants you are wearing in that picture are AMAZING!!! May I inquire as to the brand!? lol

Kimmi · Jun 20th, 2008, 12:27 AM

It's beautiful! I love all the pics you took...that is definately eye-candy! Oh and the handles are fabulous!

HauteMama · Jun 20th, 2008, 12:36 AM

Beautiful bag! I love the leather and the detailing on that style, and the color really enhances the style, too. It looks great on you; enjoy!

Hey thanks

The jeans are from Alloy.com but I got them a while ago and I don't think they have them anymore

I find the size chart to be pretty accurate for Alloy.com so if you know your measurements then that is the best way to order (as opposed to going by size). I also wear a lot of Svoboda jeans (www.svobodastyle.com) because they have a great contoured waist that gives me coverage in the back but isn't too high in the front. Here is a shot of me in the Svoboda's:

BTW, LP stands for Linea Pelle

I'm a bit of a shopaholic and I am plus sized so I really have to search around....if you are looking for any particular clothing maybe I can help

TygerKitty · Jun 20th, 2008, 01:18 AM

^^ Cute! Love those jeans too!!! I get alloy catalogs I've just never tried them yet! Perhaps I will since they are so stinkin cute on you! I have far more clothes than I ever wear but when I see cute things that catch my eye I just have to ask! Especially if they are on other plus sized women since I know they might have my size then lol!

TygerKitty · Jun 20th, 2008, 01:18 AM

Thanks Kimmi and HauteMama!!! Yall are so sweet for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the pics!

gohogs85 · Jun 20th, 2008, 10:05 AM

Ooooo I love the button detail! Awesome bag!!

Hey when are you getting your Sex Bomb in Tango Red? Post pics because I am suuuuper jealous!! But man, I wish they would bring back the Lost Art, that bag is fabulous!

LadyLinda · Jun 20th, 2008, 10:10 AM

What a wonderful, unusual bag! I think you look adventurous when carrying it, and bet you'll have lots of fun!

somanyamys · Jun 20th, 2008, 11:27 AM

Yay TygerKitty!!! You know how I was anticipating these pics! The bag is gorgeous, and it looks amazing on you!

So, I was kind of halfway hoping that real-life pics of a Lost Art would give me some nitpicky reason not to want one anymore, since they're so rare, but nope. I want one MORE. THAN. EVER.

(And even though I was bummed that I completely missed one on eBay, I'm REALLY glad that it went to a TPFer who is clearly going to give it a FANTABULOUS home!!!)
