For next season I'm sure it will be silver, but after that...who knows? I suppose its possible. I really cant predict, though.

Is the Princess Pop the same size and style as the Speed Demon with different leather?
Thank you!

 

[tano expert]

Yes. Its made of diva distressed metallic suede with aberdeen leather trim.

Do you have the dimensions for A Subtle Thing listed in your Spring 09 page?

 

[tano expert]

I cant discuss anything related to my store on tpf...that's strictly against the rules.

Hi TE!

When my mother and I purchased a Grape Getting Warmer today at the sale, the lady who rang us up said it was a nice choice, and that it's "the Bergdorf Bag". I know other places have sold it, so do you happen to know what she meant by it? Thanks!

^^

Perhaps you got the plum jelly and not the grape? Does it have brown or black trim?

 

[beeb]

Aha! It has black trim.

 

[tano expert]

my guess would be this:

When tano makes bags for bergdorfs, they always make extras in case bergdorfs needs to reorder. They have to hold the extra stock for them, in case they want it, for a few weeks...and after that its up for grabs for whatever other retailer wants it.

 

[beeb]

TE, can you please tell me what this is?

 

[tano expert]

well it looks like it may have been a sample bag for spring 08 in pearl crunch leather with lenoir natural color trim. Sorry I dont know the name/number of it!

 

[beeb]

Thanks TE! It doesn't feel like crunch, though, it's sort of rough and crackley if that makes any sense. Either way I it! The front pockets aren't overly practical but they look good!

ETA: Does anyone know which of the spring 09 colors Blue Hawaiian and Berry Blue is closer to Blueprint?

 

[tano expert]

oh, I know the material you mean... but it was never produced. It was only sampled. Youre right, its not crunch. I couldnt really tell from the picture, though.

Ooo that bag is neat, I love the shimmery fabric/leather/whatever!

I think berry blue is the darker one and blue hawaiian is more like the pool blue if I remember correctly... I'm sorry if that's wrong though lol!

 

[tano expert]

TK is right. blue hawaiian is similar to S08's pool. A shade deeper. Berry blue is perhaps a shade lighter than F07's blueprint.
