Dear Mr. Jacobs [sic], I am writing this to you,
- Thread starter iluvmybags
- Start date
thank you so much you guys!!
Angel, now that you point it out, you're right - the perforated leather does remind me of the Mahina! It's almost as soft as that as well!
I really loved the lady-like and 40's vibe of the Garbo collection and was seriously considering a Garbo clutch or Greta shoulder bag -- unfortunately, I'd tried both of these earlier in the season (before I got Camile), and knew that the lack of depth to the bags would be an issue. Then I was thinking about the Gene, but haven't been a big fan of the smoother leather flap (and the Croc version was out of the question!), so when I saw this one, I was really hoping that it would work because it has all of the qualities that I loved about the Garbo bags. The only thing that's missing is the chain strap/handle (altho I really do like the strap on this bag & the antiqued hardware). I was actually surprised at how much room there is inside the bag -- I mean, it's on the smaller side, but once I get a smaller wallet, I'll be able to carry a little bit more than what I've shown here!

JJ, you always have me drooling with your bag acquisitions. And your reveals are clever and entertaining. May I live vicariously through you, lol?
Congrats on your new honey - she's gorgeous!
