Don't know why it can't be attached last time. Let's try another time. I can't wear it crossbody though. (I'm a size 10.)

this is a picture scanned from most recent NM book of the dark gold python shiva. As excited as I have been, now I am starting to wonder how well this bag will hold its shape with real things in it.......
your opinions are valued;)
wil it sag in shape? lining is fabric, I think if its like all others?

I think it will sag. And I don't think that'll be good for the python scales. Unless you keep things inside to the minimum, I doubt it'll hold well in the long term. But it's really a ravishing bag. :graucho:

the longer its taking to arrive, the more practical I think I am in approaching it. I was sure I would buy it for months and then looking at NM book picture with different shapes jetting out because it is unstructured, I will most likely pass!
Python is too delicate to use as an every day bag and $6300 for another occasional one in the same year as my SPARKLE BEAUTY BAG is a bit much I think!
But lets see if it sings to me:graucho:....problem is going to be the intense dark gold color, if I like the shade of gold, i'm in trouble!

Are you talking about the python or the white one?

Diamonds're a girl's best friend. :graucho:

But that goldy python will definitely look exotic with a tweedy coat for the night out. :graucho:

Oh... :) That comment's on the python bag. My white one is made of cavier (calf) leather with glaze coat. I think the cavier one will be durable enough to withstand the throwing around. Unless the glazing wear off, I think it'll be pretty much a bullet stain proof bag. ;) Any dirt seems to be rubbed off right away. So, if you're considering getting it especially in a darker color, I think it'll be pretty much a care-free bag. ;)

Mine is on the way. After seeing all your pics, I decided to get the beige one, it was on hold for 2 weeks :D. I cannot wait to see her now, she will be here tomorrow. I am so excited :)

I just got my burn brown orange med shiva. Love it. Even my mom thinks it s nice. Classic but casual n durable for daily wear. I will wear them for couple year to make my money worth it. Really like this rich brown. It looks nicer in real life. I got it at saks in Beverly hill.

That color is pretty too

Hi

I have decided to get the medium size Shiva flap in beige. Going to get it in London next week. Anyone has idea how much is the price in London? I hope the stock is available.

Hi. I wanted to share my new purchase. It's the medium size shiva flap bag in black color. I am so in love with this bag! I just wanted to ask, does anyone else have theirs say "made in Italy"? I wasn't sure if they were made in Italy being a limited edition. Most of my other bags I've had we're made in France. Just curious :)

Can somebody post a picture of the inside of the Shiva? I'm curious about the inside pocket under the flap

This looks pretty nice to me. I haven't got a Chanel yet and am tentative of whether I can 'take care' of one of the classic ones!
