The colour is great, the leather feels like silk, the smell is heavenly and the condition of the bag almost like new. I´m really happy!
It´s one of the 2009 bags, a little smaller than my other two, but still a very nice size.

The price was ok (VC had an interesting coupon I couldn´t miss out on!) given the number @SouthernPurseGal mentioned she paid for the one she painted blue and what I paid for my black one, but of course not as good as the bargain I had with the mustard coloured purse. Still no regrets. I did my research and am sure I bought the cheapest of this model on the market within my reach.

And now I will be a very good girl and (after giving it a little tlc) wrap this beauty up and put her away until Christmas!
Wow!! It's gorgeous!

Wow, you are on a roll, such a nice collection. And such a Christmasy color!
 
My 11-year old DS saw me bringing in the box and started questioning me. What´s in it? Dress? Shoes? Purse? Good, so a purse... is it the ruffled one I liked (He was speaking about a black Le Plisse I looked at) or that one with the chains and star? Haha, he is learning fast and soon will know my wishlist better than I do myself.

That roll has to stop immediately! I´ve spent enough in such a short period of time. Coupons are sent by the devil to tempt me, I guess... (And Black Friday is rolling on... Will I be able to delete the VC app?)

I love the red. It´s exactly the right warm shade to look nice and natural against my skintone and hair. Bright red is very likely to make me look cheap.

Now to have another look around my room and find some more items- maybe bags- to sell!

Congrats! It's gorgeous. It's a beautiful shade of red, and the leather looks lovely.

We were at Hudson Yards looking at a patek for DH at watches of Switzerland. We couldn’t get into Cartier bc we didn’t have an appointment. I didn’t think I was a VCA person, but VCA was across the corridor, and the VCA guard said we could just walk in. . . So after a very fun time in one of the rooms where they let me try on everything I wanted (I had called my Verdura SA to ask her for her VCA suggestions for me) and it turns out that the retail jewelry and watch world is small and all of the people who have helped us at Lange, Verdura and VCA all know each other well socially. everyone weighed in and decided this six motif dark grey, white and black magic necklace was the best first one for me. I find buying jewelry is a group effort, and I’m most comfortable when DH, Jewelry professional, and I all love the piece. It changes color in different light. My requirements for a piece of jewelry are : it has to go with jeans, a tshirt and sneakers; it has to mix well with my other jewelry but not match; and, it has to look like it could have always lived on my person, not look brand new). And, I ran it thorough @papertiger criteria too (your points re wearability, durability, non-starter, etc. from the designer jewelry thread) :biggrin:. They also invited us to view this new collection up at the flagship (which is actually our neighborhood store) and said they would come uptown to show us stuff. So it was a really nice first experience.

Looks stunning! Congrats!
I just bought an indie bag. I am in love.
And I won a givenchy small navy sugar antigona. I just couldn’t not own it any longer.
I love the Antigona! But I can never decide if I want the small or the mini (which is actually quite roomy).
Congrats, and looking forward to seeing pictures of your navy Antigona!
 
@Katinahat i also am in a puppy mode and do 3-5 miles a day with my puppies. Brisk walking, in a very hilly neighborhood, is good for me. I'm soaked in sweat by the end.
But diet?! Girl, (@cowgirlsboots ) you know I'm not gonna do that. I just had seven pounds of fat sucked out of my gut and half that reinserted into my bottom, so you know I'm all about the shortcut.

I'm right now lusting over these particular bags :

I feel you having a top handle momment
