Sorry for the delay -- I got stuck in the middle of a drawn-out catastrophe at work. I can see TPF from my computer there, but I'm locked out of posting.
Anyway, on to the Noltia scouting report.
No Biblios. (Karen, the very sweet woman working there Friday afternoon, said they expect to stock them in April, but it sounded just a bit like wishful thinking.)
Full-size Trophies in all colors, Trophy Satchels in Black Shine and just one in Yam Shine.
Havanas in all colors, including Olive and Taupe, and well as Lorcas in all colors (they seem to be including tassels as standard equipment on these).
Cuffs -- a few Ramones. Celinas in many new colors, including Olive, Grape Shine and Lilac (Iris?) shines.
No spring HH clothing. Some dresses by another designer whose name I unfortunately do not remember. A few odds and ends from the Fall line.
Some samples I remember seeing from the Kapow sales that I'm surprised are still around. Plum Havana, Plum Lorca, small Welles Hobototes in red, brown and Butter ... a few other things. I guess the prices on these just aren't that enticing.
Some things from the Fall line -- Franklins in all colors, an Aubergine Tobias (very tempting) Yves, Newman and Lilly bags, a Grape/Black Talullah ... not a complete list.
There is definitely a lot to look at, especially when you add up all the small items and candles and jewelry, etc. Certainly not everything you'd hope to see but the store isn't even close to looking cleaned out. The window display alone might be worth a trip. It's really sweet.
My thoughts on a couple of things:
There were two different Olives. A carryall was lighter, more yellow, while the other pieces (Havana, Lorca, clutch wallet) were deeper, more green. I much preferred the greener shade. When I asked about it, Karen said she was just told that different hides take the dye differently. So it's a little uncertain which Olive you'll get. Since the majority of the larger bags were the darker color, I'd be willing to gamble that the Biblios will come in that color as well, especially if it's being made in the same leather as the Havana and Lorca. Fingers crossed.
The Grape shine is very dark. Indoors it looks almost black, but taken out into the sunlight, the color pops. I actually prefer the Trophy Satchel in Grape, the full-size Trophy in Yam. The Gray Shine, which I only saw in the full-size Trophy, looks very much like Gray Zeus to me. It's really nice. I found the strap on the TS to be surprisingly comfortable.
The little Milo bag is a real cutie! I didn't buy anything (I'm holding out for an Olive Biblio) but if I did, it would be a Milo.
I hope that was at least a bit helpful. If there is anything in particular you hotties are wondering about, please ask!
