A little story time & a reveal.

A little background is needed so you’ll understand why I was running around the house screaming like a crazy person.

I’ve been looking for this color (or similar) for years. The closest I came was a Chanel flap 4/5 years ago that I passed on.

I first saw this on Farfetch last year. Because it was a seasonal color, I thought I would wait for an end of season sale. End of season however, it just disappeared. First miss

It came to outlets earlier this year. By the time I called however, the last one in the U.S. had sold - that morning. Second miss

Get an email from The Outnet about new arrivals. Decide to check it out & what do I find? I’ve never ordered anything so fast in my life.

Ferragamo Studio, small size. Pics don’t do the color justice. It’s a deep fuschia/raspberry IRL. It’s my dream color. Over the moon I was able to get this. Happy Early Birthday to me!

Yayyyyy! Happy birthday and the bag indeed is gorgeous!!!

I´m waiting for my latest purchase to be shipped. Will it work out this time? I bought the very same bag some time before and had the transaction cancelled by VC because the seller did not ship within the alotted time frame. Afterwards she informed me she was now home and had relisted... well, back then I had already opted for another bag and decided this one was too big for me. Now I know it´s not too big.
I´m not too stressed whether she sends it in time this time, though. If she messes up, again, I will be the universe telling me it´s not for me, I guess. Just lean bag and wait for the outcome...

Update:
The bag was shipped today, Friday the 21rst. Well, dear seller, it´s been you telling stories, because the shipping log works with scans that reveil dates and times...
At least it´s on the way and should arrive/ be ready to be picked up by the 27th. (I´m cheap and opted for pick-up at a local shop over home delivery. It´s not worth the extra 5€ having to wait for the courier at home. The pick-up service is very convenient and I pass the shop every day on the school run anyway.)

Sorry for being AWOL everyone. I've been so busy with work and have 20 pages to catch up with. I only have had time to read on the train lately, nothing that needs concentration.

However, most of you will have had direct input into the decision to buy this briefcase. It's the Asprey red box leather Hanover briefcase I couldn't stop thinking about. It fits my new mini promotion.

All leather inside and out, all kitted out inside with pen holders, zipped pockets etc. Things that just seem to be missing from many work bags including the H Sac Depeche. I can carry my 13" laptop and/or ipad, no problem but it doesn't look too big or man-size.

Thank you so much for your help in choosing.

Thank you

Probably shouldn't call it a promotion, just another title. It all helps though and I need to look smart (that's my excuse ).

You know the UK budget is presented in a famous red briefcase. Someone asked if I was going to present the new budget (or ex-chancellor made a mess of it - no politics, it was proven).

I said I had nothing left to put in the budget because it all went on the case
