ILMB, you made the right decision, the corner on the other Heloise would have always bothered you. Your new bag is fabulous and it will get smoochier with age. CONGRATS!!!
YAY! I'm so happy for you! I commented on your other thread before realizing that you got a new one! You will be so much happier will this new flawless bag!
thanx everyone -- I'm using her today. In fact, Im looking at her right now as I sit at my desk (she's much too large to fit in my bottom drawer!!)
The color is TDF!! I am so glad I got a new one -- although the leather on the other one was extraordinarily soft and mushy, the color was much lighter -- it almost had a bleached out look to it, which don't get me wrong -- I like that -- but it probably would have gotten even lighter and who knows if I would like it -- this one is the PERFECT shade of Plum and it's NOT even either (like the other one they had was -- it was one-dimension & flat!).
The leather has also softened a bit already -- I used some conditioner on her last night and kinda smooshed her up while she was damp -- I figure if I do it enough, the leather will get perfect soon!!
Aahhhh - Im in heaven I can't stop looking at her!!!
(p.s. I carried her on my shoulder & it was a PERFECT fit -- not too long, not too short!!)
I've taken a few more pics (to add to the Heloise thread in the Reference Section), but I just wanted to post a couple here that really show off the bag's color and leather -- this is after using her for just 2 days! She's so soft and buttery and oh, so wonderful!!! I'm so glad that I was able to get another bag!!! I've posted more pics in the Reference thread -- be sure to check them out!!
