Here comes post #6, hehe.
So, I really like this forum. I've been at the PF for a pretty long time. Like a lot of you, I didn't start out in BV. My love back then was Bal. Goatskin was it for me, love that stuff. But I made my way here, because as an ex-weaver, I was attracted by the intrecciato and superb handcrafting. And I like getting to know members. You know, if you have an issue with me, want to make a suggestion or need help, you can always PM me.
I started at Coach, then discovered Bal, and now I'm a big BV and Bal fan. In the Coach thread, sometimes people refer to it as a gateway brand, but most seem to move on to LV. Since I was into Coach for the leather, it makes sense that I would be attracted to Bal and BV.big fan of Bal here as well!
