I just saw this in the New Bond Street store today in Bamboo. It's £6050 in UK. It's versatile and roomy. It has shorter handles as carried by the model as a satchel and it also has longer handles, and a shoulder strap. The bag can be carried on the arm with the longer handles and it can be flattened. They also had one in blue in the stock room but I didn't ask which shade of blue. I tried it on and quite like it. :smile1:

There's more pictures from an earlier thread.

I saw that exact one too but I'd already bought the same colour Plume.

It comes in Bambou, Black or Bleu Orage (stormy blue)

Even though it folds in to make a smaller bag it still has the weight of its full (travel) size. It's a fabulous bag, great for a man too.

YES, I had to stare at it a long time.

The women in the (apparent) same fur as the animal (which in this case she isn't, but it has that vibe) has always been popular. Of course reindeer herders do wear reindeer so it's not strange. I suppose the first is a reference to the hair/mane. Woman as horse. Woman as wild animal and predator is often used with fur campaigns (I suppose to give her power) sheepskin, pony or calf-skin is mostly used to indicate rustic, untameable nature's girl and smooth leather, a second skin :graucho:.

I think it's because the horse (pony) is cute, it's unusual for the 'beast' in a a high fashion advert to be cute as they are usually 'magnificent' 'majestic' or 'exotic'.

The leg one with the Icelandic horse (they are the height of ponies but they're called horses) is not successful aesthetically for me. I suppose it's trying to reference the woman and the horse wear shoes, except Icelandic ones don't usually so maybe just the angle of the hoof/shoe :shrugs:
