I'm afraid I've already torn into the box in a frenzy of excitement, so there aren't any unpacking photographs! :shame: My apologies, everyone! However, encouraged by Lionlaw & Loquita, I shall post the pics Ignacio sent me!
The Chiara is fantastic, Loquita. So much more beautiful in person and this is from someone in love with photos of it online! I agree entirely with you about the Ignes gold hardware - they've really got it right.then!! The colors looks so gorgeous together, side by side!! Me thinks that I am falling in love with the Chiara...and I just really appreciate the subtleness of the gold Ignes HW. Just the right amount of shine.
Love your Chiara! This is my favorite Ignes style-I am so close to pulling the trigger, just have to decide on the leather I want (which is so hard!!)
