I haven't really done a reveal thread for a while, so I hope it's OK that I started a new one in order to do one (I thought the other thread should just be for the store & what's there - I'll add more pics next time I go!)

I've been waiting for the store to open and have been saving (and selling!) because I knew there was no way I could go to the "Grand Opening" and leave empty handed!! I'm so glad I prepared because I was like a kid in a candy store! So much to see and so many lovely things that I would have loved to have brought home with me (I seriously could have bought one of everything from the Lil Marc collection, but had to keep reminding myself - it will all still be there next time, and I can buy something else later!)

I knew going in what I wanted and had to just keep my fingers crossed and hope that it was there and had arrived in time for the opening. Of course, it's easy to get side-tracked. I actually ended up loving the new Carla bag and think I may need one of those!! And the Boho bags are just TDF!! I just wish I could carry off the fringe - becuz there's definitely A LOT of it attached to those bags! But the leather and the details are almost as stunning as the Memphis bags were.

But I was able to stay focused - when I spotted what I wanted I looked at two colors and my choice actually became much easier (more about that later!)

But first . . .
 
Back in November, when I was looking for a casual, every day should bag, I narrowed my choices down to the Kate and the Thrasher. For those of you who may not be familiar with all the bag names, the Thrasher was the color-blocked bag in black, pink, purple & yellow. The Thrasher hadn't arrived in the stores yet, and it was taking so long I finally just decided to go with Kate. Well, I saw the Thrasher yesterday -- the leather is just amazing!! But I think I made the right decision, because even tho the Thrasher would make a great every day, casual bag, it's really more of a tote than a shoulder bag and that wasn't what I was looking for. But as I said, the leather on these bags is just the most wonderful combination of soft smooshiness you can imagine and as soon as I touched its, I knew I just had to have something from this collection! So, I decided to go with the "Small Pouch" in purple!

Honestly, I was so excited about everything I would have been happy with just the pouch and the things I bought for my granddaughter, but when I walked in the door, right smack in front of me was the bag I aiming for - the one I was hoping would be there waiting for me and there it was!

Now, if you have a good eye for detail and looked at the pics that Robert Duffy posted on Twitter and the ones I posted last night, you may have been able to spot it - something was missing in my pics that had been there the day before in Robert's pics!! Can you see it?

sorry -- lost my internet connection!

My first White MJ Collection Shopping Bag (I have so many Black MbyMJ ones, it's not even funny - I should give them back and let them recycle them!!)

And my first White MJ box (much nicer than the MbyMJ ones!!)
