wow, such a great collection!

Beautiful collection, very nice photos and presentation of your collection... and I love reading the stories behind your amazing bags !!!

Loquita · Oct 19th, 2008, 11:39 AM

Thanks for the wonderfully kind words, everyone! I have been working hard to make my collection into exactly what I want, so it's really nice to see that the work is appreciated!

Raquelle: I have never used the Ruby Baybees together...actually, I had a Ruby Bal City that I just bought and sold -- not because I didn't love the leather and color, but because I think that the Day Bag might work better for me. So I am stalking one of those, now, heh heh...if I get it, I may have to part with the Ruby MAM, but I sincerely hope not, since that is one of my most favorite bags.

The camera I used is a Canon PowerShot SX110 IS. I just got it with a grant from work, but am testing it out (heh heh) for TPF. I lurve it! No more photoshopping for me, and it helps a lot to take the pics in natural light. Seriously -- I didn't have to play with these images at all, other than to put the watermark on them. My only complaint about my new Canon is that it's a bit on the larger size for a digicam, and it doesn't come in cute colors, like, ahem, red. That said, I would still recommend it highly.

Your collection is amazing! I love everything!

viewwing · Oct 20th, 2008, 06:16 AM

you take really good pictures! A word of caution though,there was a thread on here regarding people who steal pictures from tpf to sell fake bags! you might want to watermark them to prevent this or you might just see your pic on a fake bag website one day.

It was also during this period that I had the immense pleasure of attending an event at Luna Boston during which I had the opportunity to meet Rebecca Minkoff herself. It was fantastic, and Rebecca impressed me not only with her extraordinary talent, but also with her grace and humility. In order to remember a day that was so special, I purchased the following limited edition Purple Patent Cory Case at Luna Boston, which is part of the "Minkettes" small leather goods line that Rebecca Minkoff has designed (and which was named after the Rebecca Minkoff TPF subforum members!) Here it is:

I absolutely love this purse.

Thanks so much for the warning! I def. do not want this to happen...in fact, I would hate for it to happen!

I thought that putting my name to the side was good enough, but I apparently need to rethink that one...

Thanks! It's so cute, isn't it? I think that they still have some at Luna Boston...$45!

Thanks to all of you for your kindness!! It's so fantastic to talk with people who love bags and appreciate their beauty as much as I do!!
