I am seriously bummed about my Grape Boogie, but getting this new beauty made me feel a lot better. It just can't be repaired so this is the replacement. The color is so rich and gorgeous, and pictures(including mine) don't do it justice. I think the first picture is the most accurate in color. It seems to go with just about anything.

This bag is the perfect grab and go style. It is so comfortable on the shoulder and distributes weight really well. So, without further ado...

Here it is...my garnet boogie!

OH my goodness...... that is GORGEOUS! I'm sorry your grape Boogie couldn't be repaired. But your replacement is, indeed, beautiful! Congrats!

TejasMama · Aug 30th, 2009, 05:42 PM

Voodoo..

Yes, I was bummed but this color is so beautiful that I am really okay with it. I don't have a single bag in this color and it feels like the perfect choice for fall, KWIM? I can't stop looking at it...it's just so rich. I feel like I can wear it with brown, black, jeans, anything I usually wear. Love it!

The color is TDF!

Voodoo · Aug 30th, 2009, 05:43 PM

I do KWYM! And you can certainly wear it with anything! It's a very beautiful bag... total

I love that it has the purple lining! Yippee! Once I brought this home, I started thinking about a garnet minilisa and had to talk myself down. This is a replacement bag so I technically haven't added to my bag number. I've been working on a mindfulness-keep-only-a-few bags experiment and the temptations lately have been ridiculous!

If anyone is considering this color, I say it's a have to have it!

OH wowwwwwwwwwwwwww

so gorgeous! Garnet blows me away every time I look at one of these reveals! Sorry about your grape boogie

how sad! This is a darn good alternative though!!

I can't wait to hear how you like your garnet minilisa. If I were to ever get another garnet bag, that would be my top choice!

Garnet is soooooooooo pretty.

Gorgeous! Sorry about your grape Boogie, but glad you found a suitable replacement!

LisaMM · Aug 30th, 2009, 06:53 PM

Aww, I am so sorry about your grape boogie :( That garnet one is beautiful!! And I love the lining!

Antonia · Aug 30th, 2009, 08:20 PM

O.M.G. That bag is TDF!!!! Crap, now you have me thinking I should get this first (before the All Aflutter)!!! Congrats!!!!

BTW, I'm very anti crunch because of the dryness but this looks very soft. Do you think it's more Lux than crunch? Can you fill me in on the feel of the leather?? Thanks a million!! :)

Odebdo · Aug 30th, 2009, 09:44 PM

I am so sad for your grape Boogie....

But I agree that the garnet color is just SO RICH!!!! So I am glad you have such a beauty to replace the grape one!!

When I picked this one out, there was another one that looked different to me. The color was more muted and it had less sheen. It was very pretty but the color was more subdued. I am guessing that was maybe the new lux? I chose this one because the color was so deep and rich.. and more glossy. I am going to use Apple conditioner on this to try to retain the color.

I only have one Tano so I am by no means an expert. Maybe TE can give her thoughts if she has seen differences? I just loved the vibrant color of this one.
