Oh my. Congratulations - that is one freaking gorgeous bag. I'm going to have to get off this thread right now if I want to save myself (and my bank account!). EEK!! Btw, fab pics of anthra - I have a first and for the life of me can't get the right shots of the color! Of course it's no help that it KEEPS CHANGING. Anyhoo, fantastic choice!!
didn't know you had a anthra work too! do you have pics?
thx everyone again!!! i am IN LOVE! i have to say that the little coin purse is seriously making my day. it is even softer and more pillowy than the bag itself. i didn't think it would be that useful but I'm actually using it as my wallet now and it's perfect!! :okay:and yes the leather is as thick as it looks!
yes karenab is right..this one was one of the best anthra bags i have seen in texture and color..that is why it was so hard to walk out w/o it. i knew i would regret if i didn't buy it!
Congratulation on your bag. I agree with everyone... The leather on your bag is sooo perfect! You're so lucky to have a great enabler friend to shop with ....
Ally, according to Cracker's pics and now stbartschic's pics, the AnthraWorks have the best leather! I have a GH AnthraCity and while it's TDF, it's not as thick. Cracker's pics have always killed me... the way the leather just smooshes over the GH hardware. I have seen a lot of really nice and thick RH Cities too.
well when we were at the BalNY store they had 3 anthra GH works and all 3 had nice leather but each one was a different shade of anthra and also the veins/wrinkles/texture was different on each one. i picked the darkest one and most veiny one. the lightest one was almost a smooth leather yet thick. the middle was actually nice but wasn't as dark as the one i got. here are some more pics of the body of the bag.
i had one more photo of the back of the bag but not here at work.
i have to say that the other anthra work they had there that was a bit lighter than mine was def a good one to have too...so if anyone wants it they should call the BalNy store. I would say a shade lighter than mine and actually the texture and veins were about the same.
BREAKING NEWS.....
i might have to let this one go!! i havent even used it once yet unless you count carrying it around the apt but i wish it was more broken in..i know i have "issues"!!! it is the perfect bag in oh so many ways but right now, it's just too "new" for me!!! ush: what to do????
