IM: Merry Christmas. I bought myself an Alto a few weeks ago during the ILD big sale. I got the medium size Valentina in grape. :) Perfect.

I recently also bought the Florentine Toscana tote in bone. It reminds me very much of the Alto. The leather on mine is smooth (not quite as fine grained as the Alto). This tote is very streamlined in design and very structured. The handles are fixed. (It's not the side zip tote, but the plainer one with the oval logo and trapunto stitching detailing around the edge of the bag). The tote carries like a luxury handbag and in the bone, it certainly looks like one. It's a tad oversized and reminds me of many of the Alto styles (Valentina (shape and size), Silvia (handles) , and others). When ILD and Overstock put it on sale for $169 recently, I knew I had to try it out.
Congrats on your new beauties! Wish we could see pics. I had no idea overstock.com is a good place to look for alto bags!
 
HOORAY!!! Sounds beautiful!!!

Does anyone have colored Altos vs. Black or chestnut/saddle?

I was checking them out in store, and the colored alto leather felt a lot less nice than those three colors. Wondering if that's just a fluke?

I have a red and a saddle. Both are equally beautiful and special. I do not detect any difference at all.
 
IM: I especially love your white Giovanna, with the contrast trim. OK, I love all your Alto's, but I hadn't seen the contrast trim done on the Alto before. It's really a sharp look.

thank you so much, its so rare I've only seen it a handful of times. I think she was my first alto...or at least first 3. i believe I got her from the galleria in Dallas...or it could've been online, it's been years. and my collection has gone thru so many changes since then I cant keep up.lol, but she is very special to me, I can never let her go! all i need now is the white Camila and life will be complete *le sigh*
 
Your collection of white altos is really special! [emoji7]
I hadn't seen any until yours. Now I want to look around for one in a size that works for me. Hmmm... you have me thinking now. [emoji56] [emoji15]

that color scheme is somewhat hard to find. But they have it in several different Alto styles, not sure if any of the newer bags, but the 2011-2012 bags quite a few had that option, I haven't seen it in any bags since then tbh :confused1:

Lady!!! You are not letting go of Ms. Camila in white! The new styles are not for me in the Alto Collection.
