Velvetine bags from France - Iggy hobo

[jandelvis]

Hi all,

I became obsessed with the Velvetine Iggy Hobo featured in InStyle this winter and have been on a massive purse-hunt to try to track it down. No other threads mention the brand so I thought I'd add one with the results of my stalking in case anyone else is searching!

Here is the Velvetine website:
http://www.velvetine.fr/

in the US, Velvetine bags are carried at:
Language in Chicago: http://www.shoplanguage.com/category.asp?catid=7823 [pre-ordering black and chocolate now for 3/15 delivery)

Blue Bag in NYC: [SIZE=-1]ph (212) 966-8566 [call for availability]

I have one preordered in Chocolate coming from Language. Can't wait!!

At long last, pics of my Chocolate Velvetine Hobo!

I will have to wait on modeling pics until my photographer returns... but for now here you are!

The close up of the needlenose closure gives a sense of the leather... smooth but a little "veiny." I saw a Tod's dark brown hobo bag recently and the leather was almost identical.

The side pic gives a sense of the thinness of the bag.

really loving this bag - meets my refined boho aesthetic really well!

So gorgeous! How long is it? I've been coveting this one awhile, but I'm worried it might be too long for my petite frame. (I'm 4'10--my [white with brown trim] Coach Daphne wears like a shoulder bag!) I'll abandon it if either it goes down to my knees, or if I can't figure out a way to justify looking silly!

Thank you in advance!

FINALLY!!!!
jandelvis -
I can totally understand how you are "diggin" that bag! The quality of the leather, shape and "vibe" is totally cool! The slouch factor is just GREAT - and I really like how slim it is.....AND, of course the million dollar question.....how long is it???
Also - how does it open?
We NEED a MODELING PIC!

Iggy? Hmm, Iggy Pop?????

(i'm going to be scrambling to have a tagsale on ebay tomorrow)

I will take pics and put them up.

Spielberg1 I am both envious and very happy for you. Ever since I first saw this thread I have been dreaming about Velvetine bags, and the model shown here in particular. The price is simply out of my range, but I will keep diligently searching for a sale!
