I'm indeed grateful that my SA is very willing to educate me with H knowledge and find myself very lucky to have an SA that is truly passionate about his job and has genuine interest in the brand. He doesn't always know everything, but he's willing to look into it and will come back to me sometimes even after months and that I have totally forgotten about. Time really flies whenever I'm at H and I often left overloaded both in hand and in mind. :lol::lol: Like you, I love learning about leather and that's really what makes H so different from any other brands to me. I'll share more when I know more about it. Nowadays I need to put together a note before I go to H but then often among 10 questions I got 2 answered and got distracted learning new stuff from SA before I proceeded to the 3rd question and came home with 10 more new questions. :doh:




Hmmmm..... lala if you really do so, make sure you do a comparison with togo as well and let us know if BF is indeed juicier than togo. :P :P :P :P Sorry I couldn't help. You got my silly side activated....

Yes, I can see me taking my bag into the store to ask my SA if human saliva will add to the patina or whether it can be spa-ed out...

Don’t you just hate it when a scarf looks better on a handbag than when you wear it? I bought this scarf because the fuchsia and chartreuse colors really pop in this design, but I could never get the colors to really work on me. I can’t bring myself to oust it from my collection because I still enjoy looking at it even if I can’t wear it.

Of course! Rubis, Tosca, and Raisin. It’s funny because when I placed the SO, my SA seemed quite on board and didn’t express any reservations about my color choices; just the other week, I happened to have this Kelly with me when I stopped by the store and my SA was quite funny. She said something like, “whew... I was worried that this one would turn out to be a mess and I was scared to look at it when it arrived, but It actually looks pretty good...” lol!

(I thought to myself, umm, I hope someone would stop me if they thought I was making a total mess...)

Anyway, the interior is Rubis and the underside of the top flap is tosca so when I look in the bag, the colors are bright and happy.

Lol. The boots are decoupaged origami! I made them several years ago when my DD was part of a Japanese spring festival where all the kiddos and volunteer parents were encouraged to dress in traditional kimonos. I wanted to wear shoes that gave me some height and yet were still in the spirit of the Japanese festival (not that you can really see anyone’s feet when they’re in kimono) so I took a pair of leather ankle boots and decoupaged them with various pieces of origami patterned silk scraps.

I really like the colour combination lala! I’ve seen very, very few tricolour SOs I’ve ever liked and this one is probably my favourite! The colours work beautifully together. I’ve seen some trainwreck tricolour SOs :shocked: (but that’s only my opinion- many people would love them I’m sure).

SO colour combinations are so personal, don’t take anyone’s comments to heart (including SAs)! What is hideous to one person will be stunning to another... Just as long as you love the bag, who cares! :flowers:

Very well stated. I have to admit that I enjoy browsing train wreck SO combos. It’s like a freeway accident; I know I shouldn’t look, but I can’t help myself. Plus, I’m always interested in learning what inspired someone to put together a particular color combo. I called this one my Tri-berry Kelly because I was thinking about berry sorbets at the time.
