What do they compare to? I'm familiar with Crash leather but Bella and Plush are new to me. Do they compare with Hayden Harnett?

monalethalfan · Aug 20th, 2009, 01:15 PM

Both are beautiful! The plush is a bit pebbly-er, with more texture, and the Bella is smooth and refined.

What is Crash leather?

kazmodo · Aug 20th, 2009, 01:27 PM

I'm thinking she meant crunch

beeb · Aug 20th, 2009, 01:33 PM

I thought so, but I figured I'd better ask. I was out of the loop awhile!

I don't own any plush leather but bella is a very soft, smooshy, matte leather. It's entirely different from crunch...a whole other animal. I also don't have any HH bags so I can't tell you how they measure up. I can tell you that of all the bags I've had and/or played with in the stores bella is some of the nicest I've ever seen.

Thanks Voodoo. I do believe I may have to acquire a bella & plush leather Tano.

Thanks, they both sound real nice. The leather I didn't care for was whatever the Buxom Buddy was made of, forget what it was called, somewhat distressed looking. I too, have been out of the Tano loop for some time now.

Buxom was Lenny leather. Bella isn't anything like it. Much softer and more sophisticated. Let us know what you pick!!

h82bl82 · Aug 20th, 2009, 03:08 PM

Lenny, that's right. Thanks for the brain jolt. Well...I have my eyes on a bunch, Lady Raga, Burlesque Show, Next Act, Stop in Your Tracks, Ramped Up, Self Portrait, Passport, Revolving Door and Perfect Candidate. Can't remember what was what although from perusing this forum I know Lady Raga is bella leather.
I just bought a blueberry (I hope that's right, like I said, I've been out of the Tano loop for some time now) Minilisa over at the yahoo group, theitbag. Looking forward to it arriving, oh probably Monday.

Voodoo · Aug 20th, 2009, 03:13 PM

^^Yay! Looking forward to your reveal! Bella bags are available in saddle, deep ocean, ruby, mahogany, black, elephant, and rose. So when you are shopping if those are the available colors it's bella.

EDIT: Red velvet, too.

h82bl82 · Aug 20th, 2009, 03:18 PM

Yikes, all sound really good to me. Deep Ocean seems to be calling out to me. How about Plush leather, what colors do they come in?

Voodoo · Aug 20th, 2009, 03:20 PM

Plush has azul, black, chocolate, smog, purple haze, pesto, wine, and luggage.

h82bl82 · Aug 20th, 2009, 04:54 PM

Oh crap, pesto, wine, purple haze, luggage all sound nice. I need to start saving $$$ now!
