hiya! i would say go for it, already protected or not. try in a small unseen area first and wait 24 hours to see the results before you do the whole bag. good luck!

Hi TE! Was Deep Pockets (shown here from Tano website) really made or was it a cut to order? Just wondering what the chances are of finding one some day? Thanks!

tano expert · Oct 8th, 2008, 07:30 PM

yes, that style was made in small qtys... its going back a couple of years, though...its gotta be VERY HTF at this point...

I bought a Tano Boogie Bucket in green at a boutique in New Orleans last fall that I LOVE!! I noticed the same bags this year are made out of Crunch Leather and not the soft leather I bought. Do you know where I can find this bag in the soft (not shiny) leather?

tano expert · Oct 9th, 2008, 01:19 PM

^^welcome...

The boogie bucket has been made in several different leathers over the years, including woven leather, tag leather, cracked ice suede and cloud leather. (old school, woogie bucket, flip side, and cookie bucket, respectively.) Im not sure which one you have- if you can post a pic, I could identify it for you.

This year, Tano has not made this style in any other leather besides crunch. You must have purchased one made in Spring 2007 or even prior to that. Finding another one would be difficult at this point... but check eBay and try googling the Tano names I mentioned above.

Good luck!

This isn't a great picture but it's the best I can do at work :)

cant view your pics... sorry!

Hi TE! I did a search, but it seems like no one here has posted a bag in pineapple. Would you please tell me what shade of yellow pineapple looks like IRL? And, can you tell me if Tano is going to make the Sexbomb in pineapple? Thanks!

Hi TE...

Just wondering what the comparision was between the model citizen and the QNA with the shoulder drop.

Watson's Mom · Oct 13th, 2008, 10:55 AM

hi TE-now that we are over the "Boogie next year??" crisis, what about the French Nanny? Any chance that won't be around in the spring? Thanks!

tano expert · Oct 13th, 2008, 11:13 AM

^^I know at least one e-tailer will have it :) , but so far its not in the general line up yet.

Brimack, Im sorry but I just cant recall the drop on the QNA in comparison to the model citizen. Both are snug fits over the arm. I think QNA had a little more slack, though...

Watson's Mom · Oct 13th, 2008, 12:27 PM

sounds like that e-tailer is a smart gal!!!!!!!

Hi ~ Quick question: My Black French Nanny has faded badly on one side and I have only had it for 6 months. Should I have conditioned it to prevent fading? I love that bag and I am going to order another one, but I don't want to have the same problem again.
I appreciate your help!

Thank you

Hi there, Tano Expert!

I was wondering if you could describe how the spring colors sour cherry and pink lemonade will compare to the fall raspberry color that is out now.

Also, the white color that was our earlier this year was sort of a winter white. How will the white color that is coming out in spring '09 compare? Will it be more of a "white white" or will that color also be an "off white"/"winter white"?

Is there any place online where we could visit to see the spring swatches?

TIA!!

tano expert · Oct 13th, 2008, 10:34 PM

purses and gold, I would suggest that you get the tarraco cream in black to restore the color then spray your bag with a guard after its conditioned and cleaned.

sweettlc, tano has tiny color swatches on their website if you view the link to the spring collection thats been floating around. YOu can also see bags made up in various colors which is even better. There is a white color for Spring in a new soft, matte leather which is pretty true of a white. There is no crunch in any shade of white this year.
