...Each leaf is decorated with geometric patterns symbolising a culture, belief, or social status...and whose complexity at times conjures up a sort of magic protecting from harm or summoning luck.

Astrologie suede pumps from Fall 2010, Art de Steppes scarf and vintage suede handbag
(P.S. If anyone is familiar with these types of bags please PM me. I don't quite understand the history, but apparently there is a significant story behind the handbag.)

From the A/W 2011 line "Brazil", do you hate it or love it? (My feelings will not be hurt if you hate it.) I have mixed feelings about the RTW line...

And, what do you think of A/W 2011 RTW suede leather pants? Is there anything particularly "special" about these that makes them stand out from any other pair of suede pants? Opinions welcomed.

I ended up buying 3 colorways of the Dragon gavroche so I am definitely prepared for next year. I haven't bought the etoupe colorway (third attachment), but I am thinking about it...

 

[lala28]

I think I'm all set for A/W 2011 with the exception, maybe, of adding another Ex Libris Kimono to the mix. I seem to have a habit of buying scarves in pairs.

 

[lala28]

I wasn't sold on these initially, but when I saw them in person, I was drawn to them. In fact, I think a lot of the A/W 2011 collection looks better in person for some reason. I wasn't very optimistic when I saw the picture books.

Hermes Graff - Looked really crazy in the book, but when I tried it on, the colors in the middle really come out and you have a lot of different styling options.

I've always liked Annie Faivre patterns, but when I saw this in the book, I thought it looked busy and too similar to the Fleurs Indiennes design. In this white/purple/green colorway, however, it looks less busy. Plus, I'm a sucker for contrast hems.

Esprit Ainou is not one of my favorite designs, but I thought this color combination of ink blue and coral was unique.

The Jungle Love dip dye looks really jewel toned in the picture book, but in real life, it has a lot more yellow in it. It matches my vert cru kelly .

Vert olive barenia is like a chameleon - it changes colors depending on the light. Sometimes I can see the olive color; othertimes I see only dark brown.
