I didn’t *not* want to get a pumpkin bag. I love the print so much. I do feel guilty about keeping the cosmetic pouch because I only got it to have something in brown, a reason now invalidated by buying the NeoNoé. Maybe I’ll do that conversion thing for my girlfriend as she likes the print too. It easily fits a water bottle along the bottom and I think it’s quite cute as a bag.


Here are some photos, I was struggling to show anything more helpful than what’s already on the website! I do think it’s a great canvas (ha) for the print. Both strap lengths worked great for me at 5’3” and I also felt like the shape is good for me as a plus size person.

lol!!! Aboslutely agree with you on this

I Just did a bit more digging and research into Yayoi's art inspiration behind the collection, apparently there is a very moving and touching motivation behind the happy faces collection, it is from this write up and the smiley faces painting is found in Grand Central Madison.

"They convey the messages of LOVE, UNIVERSE, PEACE, and OWE TO ALL MANKIND, which are central to Kusama's inspiration She hopes that the work will bring joy for those who encounter it as they pass through the incredible new space.
An accompanying poem written by Kusama speaks directly to all that will experience her artwork from near and far.

This is Yayoi Kusama.
I offer you a message of love, directly from my heart unto the universe.
May you all experience the true beauty of loving humanity.
Human life is beautiful.
My wish is to deliver this vision, with all that is in my life, to the people of New York.

I’m “new” to the forum, and it’s mainly the Kusama collection that has drawn me back as I do like an eccentric bag! I got a couple of things from the first drop and now preordered this drop’s Bandouliere 20 (blue), the coin purse and the Petit Sac Plat with pumpkins. I’m really considering getting the Romy and maybe a Noe with dots from the first drop as well. Don’t think I’ll be going anywhere near the screaming faces though…
Got some of my ordered bags :yahoo:It’s a cloudy day where I live so the photo really doesn’t do justice to how nice that blue is…! I’ve already worn it out and it’s such a nice size! I was so tempted by the flowers speedy, but I think it’s enough with this cute blue speedy ^^
