Well after asking to see the authenticity tag
She told me it is not BV
It is not a knock off or replica it is made by the people who developed the weave
They still make bags in Italy
I used to know their name but can't remember it now
My friend is ancient like me and she can't remember either

Could it be Pierotucci?
Cosci was another name that is related to leather weaving in the dark corner of my memory, but if i remember right, they were swallowed by someone big (Gucci?..) and are not using this name anymore, but back in that time could be them as well...

She gave me the name on the bag
2 names
Not sure I wrote them down correctly
Riviera
Lettvra
She knew it wasn't BV
It was so chic with the Nero/Ebano weave
She says she gets a lot of compliments on it
Meanwhile back at the ranch I carry real BV and no one ever says beans to me which is more than okay
Oh wait someone asked me once if I bought it at the flea market in Florida

This is why, if I see somebody with an accessory or outfit I admire, I say something (if I know them at least in passing, like somebody at work or out and about in the neighborhood). Occasionally they stare at me like they don't know what brand they are carrying (possible) but I do feel that most of the time, even though we dress mainly to please ourselves, it is nice if somebody we know appreciates the effort we take. And it doesn't have to be an expensive item, either. If I like somebody's outfit or shoes or hair, I tell them that item looks great!

I find this interesting and it is not in the manual
I have asked several police officers
No one knows the answer
If you are in a designated turn lane do you have to put your turn signal on

I don't think it's against the law but it can cause accidents if you don't use your turn signal.

A driving test would be better for seniors than a written test. You can pass the written test and still be a bad driver. Most states require eye test for seniors.

Also today is April 3, the day a F4 tornado can through my house while my 3 daughters and I were there. It's been years ago now but it's a day we never forget. We weren't hurt but we lost everything. One reason why I moved to CA.

I'd like to impress upon everyone the importance of wearing sunscreen all the time, everyday. Everything is all taken care of but, I have some new stitches that will prevent me from carrying my beloved BVs for at least week.

My cousin is back in the hospital again
His sugar bottomed out
He was so out of it that he knocked over a lamp and his bed caught fire
He is lucky he is not dead
He is going to have to go into a nursing home now
We have been trying to get him to go for over a year but he won't do it

Thank you J for noting that. I thought the same but couldn't articulate it as well as you did.

Question for you all regarding this. Does the members post show that it was last edited by a moderator? I can see that, can anyone else? BTW, if I ever edit something like that you can be sure I will also pm you about it, too. Thanks.

Yes.....This is what shows up on my iPad. Sorry for the blur. It's an edited screen shot.

I could have sworn there was no edited by a mod thing but I see now it was in the black header and I missed that completely.

I do this too. It drives some of my less sociable friends crazy. I think we should speak more to each other and I always seem to strike up conversations with strangers. Perhaps this is part of my Midwest upbringing. It doesn't always go over so well in the socially frosty Pacific Northwest. At the rate we are going, people will just be texting, vocal cords will de-evolve, and we will grow several more skinny fingers, hehe.

Thanks...just wondering if it was visible.

I'm usually too shy to talk to people I don't know - unless they have dogs or want to talk about mine... I happily strike up conversations with anyone and everyone about dogs!

I talk to anyone, as you know, and I think we need more human contact in our lives. I'm thinking I should start giving out hugs to random strangers.

*jburgh will confirm that I talk to strangers and will talk to anyone while waiting in line, trying on shoes... She often has to apologize on my behalf for being Canadian

It can be a difficult transition (as you know). Sending you warm wishes that things go as well as they can. Thank goodness he could escape the fire.

Well, the yucky cold viruses keep circulating around. I stayed home all day today and slept - haven't had to do that in a while. Staying home to rest when sick is no fun. If I have to stay home, I'd rather be going through my books or watching a movie or doing something that improves my general surroundings.

I did a little online shopping...will try to post a reveal when it arrives in the next few days...something new to me and in a bright color and little!
