I've got my eye on a Furla, so it's really good to know people are having really good experiences with them. I'm getting a certain vibe, even through the computer screen, that the leather is top quality. Even from the pictures, it looks so smooshy.
Now, if I can get a couple bags sold, I can make way for a new Furla :)

I have a Furla bag, Megumi in grey and I use it almost every day because it seems to take a beating. The leather is awesome, feels wonderful, just buttery soft. Very luxurious feeling but it is very understated. It works really well for every day, it does not scream designer at all and I can wear it with almost everything. So while they do not have the most exciting designs most the time they can be very versatile. I also have a wallet a grey one with butterflies which I just fell in love with and had to have, that one I think has a bit more interesting design but goes really well with most everything. My bag is made in Romania. In Hungary where I now love Furlas are extremely popular and most people wanting a designer bag will first buy a Furla and then venture out into other brands.

I have my eyes on two new Furlas: Frieze black suede hobo, the hardware is soft, pale, matte gold tone. Other colours are nice too, but can't have them all. I'm also liking the Fortuny hobo but don't know what colour yet. The hardware is silver on this one but I'm loving the double chain handles with grosgrain ribbon woven through it :blushing:

I have one lovely black Furla that I found on clearance at Winners right after Christmas 2009. It's made in Italy and the quality is lovely. It's understated, for sure. It's the Farrah shoulder satchel. I get compliments whenever I wear her :amuse:

I didn't know some Furla bags are made in China? That is a bit of a disappointment, I have to admit. I thought they were all made in Italy. I'll have to examine the Frieze and the Fortuny bags for sure before buying.

This is my only Furla bag: it was on clearance at Winners right after Christmas 2009. I always had the feeling it was a return. I found it at the Cambie Street Winners store, but I imagine it was originally from the Park Royal Winners. It was and is in mint condition. I don't carry her all that much. With such a long wide zip top, it's not entirely one handed, kwim? Still, I think she's pretty.

I love Furla! This was the first "designer" bag that I've ever bought on my own! I bought it on my first trip to Italy a couple years ago at the Milan boutique. It was a fabulous experience. I still have the bag and have used it frequently to the point that it now looks well-loved. The material is very luxe for its price point!

Thank you! They have just opened a new Furla shop in Cologne and I'm waiting for the end of the year sale. They have gorgeous bags there and the smell of the shop is heavenly what with all those leather bags. :yahoo:

Did buy my (second) Elisabeth, with matching wallet, but in a very vibrant blue! Will try and post pics of both soon.

Dangerouscurves, there is a Furla outlet in a shopping village which shouldn't be too far away from you...

I wish they'd come back with the Furla Wally Doctor bag style from a few seasons back, it is just lovely. I waited much too long and now they are all sold out.

I think I'm going to buy a Furla while I'm here in Rome. I went to the store tonight and it was closing soon and the sales associate couldn't find a color I wanted, but said she'd look for me. The price is a lot cheaper over here- with the conversion, it looks like the bags are about half price the retail price in the US. They have a really nice grey that is pebbled that I liked.

Furla makes great quality bags-I personally love the Elisabeth Chain/metal hobo that came out 2 years ago. I finally found it on Ideeli for cheaper than it was two years ago, & I bought it. It should be here between 4/16 & 4/22. It was the one that almost got away & I'm so excited to now get it.

"Carmen" was also a beautiful bag. The designs can be boring, but I find them timeless. Some bags are made in China, but most are from Italy, w/soft smooshy leather.

I asked a friend "in the know" about that - she said 90% are made in Bologna and Tuscany, and one or two smaller ranges are made overseas. I love my Furla - it's beautiful quality and though the line is simple, it's elegant.
