Do you have any patent leather bags?

Patent leather bags are wonderful - they hold up very well. I have several vintage pieces from my grandmother and they look wonderful.
In terms of modern I have 2 Coach patent purses - a white "lunch sack" purse from 2 summers ago and a blue tote from this winter. I also have the new pomme red LV tote.
Patents repel water and stains and hold up to basic wear and tear. They also add bright color to whatever you're wearing.
If you treat them nicely they will last just about forever.

I've got the Jimmy Choo Ramona in patent leather. Never thought I liked patent until I bought it!
Love your bag and this is the bag I want! Does it come in a bigger size???? I really love it since seeing it on Jessica Simpson.
That's nice to know. What color are they? This year I am definately going to buy something in patent. I've shied away from white b/c I thought they might turn yellowish over time. Have you had that experience?
Thanks! The patent Ramonas were part of the F/W 06 line and they are basically sold out worldwide, except for a few blue ones kicking around the department stores like Saks. My Jimmy Choo SA told me that no more patent Ramonas are being made. But there are lots of great regular leather Ramonas to choose from.
The Ramona is pretty big. It has a smaller baby sister, called the Riki. And yes, JC is coming out with a bigger size Ramona for S/S 07 that my SA described as weekender size.
I did have one - a patent leather Carker - but I sold it. For me it was a divine, but one season option, and I should have kept the non-patent version (long story involving romantic surprise from husband, guilty buying from me and two Carker bags!). I could almost feel the clock ticking on the bag, gorgeous as it was and knew come April that black patent, however classically represented, would not be what I wanted. I do think though that it is gorgeous and as a general rule, practical. If I had enough money to add 'extras' to my bag collection, I'd include a patent bag.
