I was planning to buy my very first Bottega piece. A coin purse in a dark silver colour. The store didn't have the colour though. I didn't realise seasonal colours were hard to come by! I guess I'll have to try again when I'm in London next week
 
I will. I've pretty much committed myself to it unless it turns out to be very different from the images in the color tones. (If it's very brown in tone, that might not work for me.) The other obstacle could be the price. But I'm thinking that it probably won't be more than the exotics from last year.....well, maybe that's just wishful thinking.....but I'm clinging to it!

Diane, do let me know what you hear about the bag.

I got into town early so I stopped by the boutique. That new lido is $17,800. It's not going to be residing in my closet. On the side of good news, the lanyard is now out in Argento. And the convertible bag seems to be a bargain. When I recover from my disappointment, I may actually find myself a bit relieved because I'm not spending $$$$$ on a bag. Please forgive any typos. I'm posting from my phone without my reading glasses on and it's difficult to type with these tears steaming down my face. :smile:.

First, big hug and 'there-there' pats on the back. Second, you know I'm a big fan of noodling over something. So don't say no or yes just yet. Noodle.

Or consign. Heheheheh.
 
Mousse, Grietje & I had a mini meet-up this afternoon at Aqui in Campbell. It turned into a three hour lunch. We took a photo immediately so that we wouldn't forget:

In attendance were: a violet lambskin (with PVC detail) satchel, a pacific parachute and a large tourmaline veneta, along with several pouches, wallets and key rings.

Thanks for posting Diane! It was a lovely time, really lovely! I highly recommend getting together with your BV neighbors. It's so awesome to talk bags, family, food, work, life, and dreams. What started out as just digging bags has become true fondness!

Thanks for posting Diane. We had a blast today.

Not in my closet, either. Wow, just wow. :amazed::shocked::sad:. Such a gorgeous bag.

Maybe if 18 or so of us all pay $1000, we could each use it for a few weeks per year?
Like fractional ownership.
Hey, just trying to help you realize your dream :laugh:
