Wowser, mrs. sweet!!

i'm drooling - Ladies your bags are beautiful.

I don't currently own a BV, i am however saving my pennies as we speak to make a purchase!

Does anyone know if BV bags are cheaper in the U.S than UK or Dubai??

thanks

Nymph: can't wait to see your Christmas present. How exciting.
Yeah Tanja- another chocolate Ball bag lover!
Mrs. Sweet: To die for collection!Wow!
iloveelmo: I would look at the classic hobo for a nice start and not too over the top in the price range.

Here's a gorgeous bag but a little out of my price range for now.

Thanks Bagpuss!
ilove: I'd go for the Ballbag or the hobo as those are classics without being too conservative and the leather is just TDF.

Bagpuss--that cream bag is wonderful. I haven't seen that before!

Here are some pics of the non-woven green BV with the braided handle I mentioned yesterday. The photos aren't very good, but you get the idea. It's the first time I ever bought a really green handbag! Sorry they're not larger. I have a lot to learn about posting photos.

Where did you find the turtle coin purse? I'd love to get something like that. I usually buy my BV's in the Chicago shop, but I've never seen it there or online. I'm jealous!

Do you have any non-woven bags? I know some people say what's the point getting BV if it isn't woven, but I have a green non-woven bag with the big braided handle (same as the Cocker bag) and I love it. Will try to post a pic of it.

The BV outlet in Cabazon has a bunch of those coin bags. I remember a fish and a few others. Very cute. I think the prices were around $175-200.

Well, I am drooling over everyone's collection I got a large black hobo this fall and I just loooooove it! Now I am hooked and eyeing on next one. I like the the shape of Campana when I look at BV website but the size measurement seems to be on the medium size. Is there a larger Campana? Anybody know the measurement and retail price? TIA

I never thought about BV bags having names. Does anyone know what this is called... or is it just a hobo?

Yes, that is the medium Campana. I have the large and it's 18 long by 12 high(not including the straps)but when you attach the center hook it forms a pleat so that the length is around 13 or 14 inches. I want to say retail is around 1900.

Boxermom: I love that green bag- I've seen it in cream on Net-a-porter.

Here's a couple of pictures of the Campana so you can see the side pleats better.(picture credit to Angst)

That's so pretty! Thank you Bagpuss!

I looked up that outlet mall and BV wasn't listed. You wouldn't have a phone number, would you? If not, I'll keep searching--part of the fun!

I love everyone's BV's--the softness of the leather comes thru in the photos.

What do you think of the white wovens? I haven't seen IRL, but I am looking for a white bag.

Haven't owned one, but they look very cool IRL. There is a flap shoulder bag, the hobo or course, and some different sizes of totes, that I can think of. Probably lots more. Never too many BV's is my motto!
