Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

Dh and I are getting away for a few days next week to a warmer climate without kids ;)

I'm debating what bag to bring. I love my neverfull but the open top makes me wary to travel with her. The "new" Longchamp cuir seems to be the most logical and sunny choice. Opinions?

Yellow cuir!:sunshine:
Love that! Could easily use that at least once a day. Is it really a Polish proverb? (Grew up in a Polish family with really stupid proverbs. Like "When you drop a spoon a man is coming to dinner." What the heck is that all about??)
I understand as Polish idiom:
Nie mój cyrk, nie moje malpy.
However, idioms travel. So NO idea of origins.

My grandparents were from Poland.:smile:

One of my grandmothers was from Poland! :wave:
But I don't remember any wonderful proverbs like that. I'm going to remember this one. DH could definitely have used it before he retired from the University. I can think of a few colleagues in particular... (but I'm going to be quiet now.) :giggle:

Your lovely yellow Cuir will be perfect, Tomsmom.
Don't forget to send us a pic of the warm place you are going to.:smile:
 
IMG_0465.JPG This morning, I went to a lady shop that is a specialist in leather.
I had a picture of a.... strap ...I asked the lady if she could make the same kind of strap for me.
I chose a 4 cm khaki nylon strap, red and khaki leather for the flowers and "silver"rivets to put in the middle.
Different from the designer's of course but in the same spirit..
She said she would phone me around March 5th, that's when my strap will be ready.
It will cost me €80, which doesn't sound that expensive considering the number of flowers that will be sewn into the nylon.:smile:

That sounds like it will be beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Thank you, Tomsmom. The lady is very professional. I saw bags she has made, in the boutique.
She told me that if I had, let's say, a leather jacket which I don't wear any more, she could use the leather to make me the bag I want.
Of course, she provides any kind of leather in all colours too.
