YEAH! I was so excited today! I have been lusting after a Botkier Bombay Tall Hobo and never could find any on sale (for some reason I always like bags from a few seasons ago!) Anyhow, I was thinking about renting one from Bag Borrow Steal and then I read people's opinions here on tpf and decided against it. BBS did have the Bombay Hobo in a deep midnight blue and it was awesome! (I wear blue jeans and black tshirts all the time and had been looking for a blue bag.)
Anyhow, I really never go on ebay, but I went that night, searched for the name and lo and behold, there was a BIN price of $299 for the midnight blue Bombay Hobo! I freaked out!
Anyhow it arrived today and I truly do love it, although it is a lighter blue than I expected. It is a dark teal, but it is such an unusual color I love it anyway!
Thanks to the ladies who gave me their opinion on Botkier leather. I'd seen the current season's bags and thought the leather was a little stiff. This bag is NOT soft glove leather but it's a strong, sturdy leather that should last a long time....(or until the next purse calls me!)
I have over 12 bags now...maybe I should start shooting pics of all of them and posting my collection!
Here is a pic of my new baby! The Kooba is going in the closet!
PS - The ebay seller was Designer Exchange and she had some awesome bags. I received my package two days after purchasing it! I'd definitely buy from her again.
