My little reveal from Shepton Mallet

[sarajane]

You're thinking about lipstick Bays Ali???? Hang on, what happened to grey Jacob?

 

[riffraff]

Victoria you look utterly fabulous, a very elegant stylish young lady. Congrats on your first grown up handbag and thank you for the modelling pics.

Thanks Ratrat and Riff. She's still over the moon with her bag and keeps trying it on.

SJ - I do love the Lipstick Bays - beautiful bag and I love the Jacob too but I think for both of them its the colour I love more than anything. I probably won't get either.

No, something else will come along and take your fancy, although that Jacob did look good on you.......

Bit late to this thread but delighted Victoria loves her special bag, it looks super on her.

Austin and I are keyring twins! I have the little sea horse too.

The red vinyl bag was the Roxy messenger BTW.

Thanks TG. Yeah it was the Roxy thing. It would have looked really nice on her but I just didn't think it was worth the money! Being the practical mum, this one will go with everything too whereas the Red Patent Roxy thing wouldn't! (well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!).

Ooh I think I saw the Jacob today in Cheshire Oaks Ali! It was hanging by the door, the colour is lovely and it looks nice and light and practical.

 

[Ali-bagpuss]

I think it was mainly the colour that I loved and the leather was tdf too.

I know, it really was the *perfect* shade of grey! And a great reduction too! The jacob I saw was hanging on a mannequinn too, I think it would sit really nicely on.

I took all the stuffing out of the one at SM and put some of my stuff in it to see how it would sit and it was really slouchy and sort of curled round the hip - completely different to my other bags which are more structured.

My only problem with it was the strap as it was very wide and didn't sit very comfortably on my shoulder. I would prefer it if it had the strap at the Antony. I would be interested to see what it would look like with a Black Seth Strap on it or something.
