This is the F/W 2011 LE Metallic Neiman Marcus Purple, which has brushed silver hardware. It looks even better IRL. I have it in the City and it’s gorgeous. The metallic seems to have been very well made on these and integrated into the leather (rather than coated on). It is durable & low maintenance. Highly recommend this one! 💜

What does the inside look like? Is it black cloth or a print? TIA! ❤️

It has the regular standard black cloth. Here's the NM purple metallic clutch I posted a few days ago in the Finds that someone needs to save me from. You can see a glimpse of the inside in their last pic. :tup:

The listing states it's 2012, but pretty sure this is an F/W 2011 NM Metallic Purple Clutch. Ask for tag pics if you want to be sure.

That would actually be 10am/7pm EST, 8a/5p MST
EST is one hr ahead of CST, MST is one hour behind
I hate time zones... if I had a nickel for how many times I've said that or "daylight savings is so confusing" in the last 2 weeks, I'd have enough to buy that Teal City on VC.

It's like I used to eat dinner at 4:00pm and now I'm up to 8:00pm, because I'm so confused what time it is.

(I haven't lived somewhere with daylight savings in 7 years!)
 
Was this posted before? I think it's French Blue (Part Time) due to mirror pocket:
Antonia dear, I've been meaning to tell you that I believe your Work is 08 Electric Blue, not 07 French Blue. I know you're going by there being a pocket on your mirror, but those were on S/S 08 bags as well, including 08 bags that were made of Chevre. Muchy and I believe (without proof :lol: ) that mirror pockets and chevre leather go together, including into S/S 08.

Unless there are signs besides the mirror pocket that point to French Blue, I believe everything about your work, the leather and color, looks like Electric Blue. This PT you posted is for sure French Blue, because that's what the leather looked like. Electric Blue is also a slightly warmer color than the cooler French Blue.
 
Not sure, but possibly faded 06 emerald courier.

Was just gonna post this, lol. Great price and still a lot of life left in this emmy. :heart:

I remember the year when they introduced it. I had a cottage on the Adriatic seaside, and knew by the sun and shadows in our bay exactly what time it was and when to come back home from board paddling. A year when the change occured, I freaked out because I was off and then i started using a regular ferryboat in a distance to tell the time. I would not carry a watch to leave a white stripe on my tan, pleeeaseee :)

Since that long ago year, I HATE day light savings time. It makes the sun set here in the summer in Canada at 11:00 pm ….what a ….. ?

Adding that I have an EB Day & there's a pocket on the mirror, as well.
