Well said post. I love your Candy Bag. The leather lined Pradas are classics. When it rains, I often carry my indestructible Tiagnanello pebble leather bags. I don't worry about a big investment, and the pebble leather is truly lovely.

I hope I am not being presumptuous in thinking that you were referring to my post? :shame:
Anyway, if you were, thank you very much for your kind words, RainingRoses. :D
 
I am so glad to see a few other Anya lovers here! I only have one -- a black Ebury with a green strap -- but it is one of my most used bags. I've only ever seen one or two other Anya bags here in the Boston area, which is good news/bad news. But I have been asked about my bag a LOT, since it's eye-catching and no one recognizes the brand. And the leather is fabulous -- shortly after I got my Ebury, I sold my Prada Saf Lux with no regrets.
Hi :)
I really like AH bags too! :loveeyes:
Just a quick question: I've been thinking about getting the Ebury. The only thing is I wasn't sure if it held its shape well (since I'm planning to use it pretty much daily). Also, is the leather durable or so soft that it scratches? I'd really appreciate a real life experience of how well it wears :)
I also think Longchamp bags are really practical :)
Thank you!

I've had my Ebury for about a year. I wear it sporadically (I change my bags a lot depending on my mood and how much I need to carry) but I haven't been easy on it at all. It's been carried in the rain and on crowded public transportation, and it's held up beautifully. Mine is black so it won't show dirt, but the leather doesn't look scratched at all, just maybe a little softer. Here's a recent photo:

As you can see, the leather doesn't remain quite as stiff as, say, the Prada Saffiano -- you can see the bag bends in a little on the sides when it's not full -- but the leather has a sheen to it that feels more luxurious to me than Saf. leather. HTH!

It still looks amazing! Thank you for your input - I think I might save up for one in grey :)
 
I know that Rebecca Minkoff is considered a "copycat" designer, and I don't care for many of her bags, but I own two of her Mini Cupids and I find them absolutely perfect. I like that this bag can be worn cross body or as a satchel bag. Although it is small, so am I (5' tall) so it is a good size for me; her full-size Cupid looks waaaaay out of proportion on me. As long as I carry my trifold wallet instead of my continental, I can fit everything I need into this bag.

Santa Barbara: the stitching is really well made. Their genuine leather is as good as middle range brands.
Zanellato Postina: handmade in Italy, genuine leather range is as good as the best known brands.Various colours and sizes and styles available. Not everyone knows this brand, it seems. My favourite bag.
