Do you know if there are going to be any smaller-type wallets coming out this year? Maybe 5 1/2 or 6 inches in length? I love the way the Bad Kitty is set up, with just the zipped compartments and no credit card slots, but it's way too long for my liking.

hey TE, is there a version of the Sex Bomb/LRC that has a top zip instead of a magnet? I'm thinking the answer's probably no but thought it was worth checking :p

I love my LRC and am hoping for a SB in a fun color sometime soon but with just the one magnet closure I get a bit nervous about stuff spilling out of the bag when I set it down...

If it makes you feel any better I have the LRC and SB and I am a total klutz and my stuff has never spilled. :yahoo:

TE, I'm looking at the Pre-Fall bags on Tano's site and I imagine you've seen some of them already. If you have, or if you have any size/style specs you're able to share on, I'd love to know how the bags below compare:

Forward Thinking/Immeasurable/Revolving Door/Right Time/ Flashy Flip Through

Perfect Candidate/Curious Case/Return to Roots

^^^ ugh yeah, sorry about that I just saw that on the Summer/Pre-Fall thread. Can you tell me if Immeasurable is top zip or snap closure?

I've tried to re-read this whole thread but it's just crazy long so I only made it to page 25 before I was feeling dizzy. I apologize in advance if this has already been answered... I think you said in the other thread that the cloud leather has a softer hand -- and I deal with textiles for work so I totally get that -- but compared to the velvet is it thicker/thinner leather? is it "puddly" even brand new? (it does look like it'd be really puddly, from some of the bag pics I've seen)

I'm trying to pick between the FN Beach White crunch, which DH really likes, and the Notorious No Longer in bone cloud as my Mother's Day present. *sigh* And as long as I'm bugging you with all this, how do the bone and the beach white compare in terms of shading? is one more of a blue-white than the other, or creamier-white? (I'm keeping in mind that one is shiny-crunch and the other matte-cloud, but undertones will still affect the color regardless of shine)

Thanks, you're awesome! Oh and I have to say I haven't been able to get the "testa di moro" term that you used outta my head, I think the only other time I've heard that used was to describe my ideal color for coffee beans ;)

hi micapu

cloud is similar in gauge to crunch. velvet is thicker. Cloud is not as shiny as crunch. Its more papery in terms of the way it hangs when new, but it will get puddly with use.

The cloud leather was from spring 08... last year's white in the cloud was more cool than it beach in crunch. But the beach white crunch is not yet in stores this year and so I cant comment this years version yet...

oy!!! Seriously, I'm SO sorry, this is what happens to a newbie trying to absorb years' worth of Tano in a few hours here and there... Please forgive my mix-up of the terms?

I *meant* to ask about the new PLUSH leather as compared to the Velvet and Crunch, not last year's Cloud (which sounds fabulous the way you described it, BTW). There are a few bags in the Summer lineup made in the Plush leather that I'm really ga-ga over.

sorry, I missd your reply- no worries, you'll be well versed in tano history soon enough...

push is a little heavier than crunch. Its an enzyme washed nappa with intense pigmentation and a varied grain. Soft and squishy and no shine.
