What are the original 'Fab-Five' styles, and pics if possible!!

Great question.

Lorca we know
Havana?
Nico?
Mercer Hobo?

Now that we have all of the HH posts in this forum - I am tracking down the oldest threads and can see that this tokyo clutch is from the Fall 2005 collection

could it be one of them?

I tried to find an archived version of the HH website; what I found under the Fall 2005 link was the Havana, Lorca, Tokyo, Ibiza, and Thalia. And for canvas, the Erol and Montauk. Couldn't really see what they had for Summer 2005, although one part of the website had some vintagey straw bags!

Mlinky - was it you that taught us how to use the waybackmachine last time? I knew there was something - but my mind was drawing a black.

Just popping up from my exploration with my findings so far... -a link (but no picture) for the Lucinda Red Leather Mini-Satchel appeared in April '05 - but fall collection . Ohhhh - anyone have any ideas about what it could be???? Wasn't there an item of clothing called the lucinda?

Here is the Mercer Hobo from 2006 (I don't know if you have to be time traveling for the link to work???

Sorry cciele - I meant to ask if it was you who showed us the way back machine.

Re. the vintagey straw bags - I found this webpage from before their official opening...

No, I don't think it was me, although I've used it before for non-purse research before in the past :smile:

Thanks for doing the digging regarding the styles, treesrgreen! I think it's interesting that they're still trying to unload the Erol and Montauk. I'm vaguely considering buying the mini-Erol for $19.50 and giving it to my daughter as a play purse :P
