the orange shopper is a perrenial favorite. It was even featured in Japanese vogue once. Its a really large bag... the price (low) and weight (feather light) are remarkable considering its size!

I dont know! Just the style number is put on at the factory. I guess it would complicate things further for the workers, and Im not sure just how important the color name really is to consumers/retailers. (What's more important is if the color looks good and sells!)

True! I was just curious, being a Newb and all!

tano expert · Feb 9th, 2009, 08:31 PM

no problem- thats what Im here for! Seriously, though- i dont know if theres a specific reason why they dont. Im just guessing this time around.

Hey TE! I got a question....

Before I discovered the Boogie, I see that Tano produced it in another leather called the Cookie Bucket? Do you think they will ever do that again? (Boogie in a different leather?) Don't get me wrong I love the Crunch....but it would be nice to have a "special edition" Boogie too.

tano expert · Feb 9th, 2009, 08:38 PM

Hey knas, my ROAK buddy :)

At the moment there are no other versions of the boogie that I know of in the works, but who knows what the future will bring?

In the past there was the cookie bucket (cloud leather), old school (woven leather), woogie bucket (tag leather) and flip side (cracked ice) and perhaps even some others that don't come to my mind immediately...

TygerKitty · Feb 9th, 2009, 10:01 PM

Totally random question....On the "sweet as pie" bag... are the o-rings connecting the straps to the bag itself the hinged kind?

baghag411 · Feb 10th, 2009, 01:20 AM

Hi TE!

How is the new Espresso Crunch leather compared to the Truffle?

Voodoo · Feb 10th, 2009, 09:32 AM

TE: The new plush leather that is coming out....do you feel it's a leather you would want to treat (to weather/dirt proof it) prior to carrying the bag?

Love you!

tano expert · Feb 10th, 2009, 11:22 AM

ok, here we go:

tk- yes, the sweet as pie has the hinged rings

voodoo- i probably would not treat the plush leather with anything but its my impression that it would stain more easily than crunch. Thats just my impression, though. We wont know until people start using their plush bags and posting about how they wear.

baghag411, the two shades of brown are very similar. As with the yellow, you would have to see them next to each other to distinguish them from each other. Truffle was my favorite brown, so Im glad its similar.

I'm so excited it's going to be similar!!! I'm still kicking myself that I passed on this color! Thank you!!

TE-regarding the plush leather...is it at least a little "pebbly" compared to fall 08's velvet leather, or is it completely smooth like the velvet? I LOVE pebbled leather and was not a fan of the velvet...I passed up a grey bag I had been wanting for a while last night on ebay, holding out for the smog Biker Babe...

are they definitely going to make the BB? And if they are, do they make them in all the colors they post, or do they pick certain colors as time gets closer to production? I really would love that smog, as I have been looking for just the right grey bag for about two years!! And the poppy is pretty hot, too!

TIA, you're the best!

tano expert · Feb 10th, 2009, 12:04 PM

The plush texture will not be entirely smooth. There is some grain to it. When leather is washed, the grain changes. There will be wrinkles and pronouced "pebbly" areas to the bags, but each one will be somewhat unique as always, KWIM? But I definitely wouldnt classify it as a "pebbled leather"- pebble grain leathers are typically "milled"- its an artificial texture that's imposed upon the leather. The plush leather's grain is natural- the leather is just drum dyed with oiled pigments and then the bags are washed post production.

Watson's Mom · Feb 10th, 2009, 12:05 PM

well, i guess i can live with that...will they produce a smog Biker Babe do you think?

tano expert · Feb 10th, 2009, 12:10 PM

It looks like they are making it in smog- yes.

Plush color wise, tano is tweaking the poppy, azul, sun and pesto,

but the smog, wine, puurple haze, chocolate, black and bone are all staying as is.
