First of all, thank you to ALL of the awesome PF ladies who guided me to my purchase of this absolutely awesome bag. I SO appreciate having TPF as a resource for all things Balenciaga (and more.)
This is my first Bbag... an Origan, or Amande, (or Light Olive?) Twiggy. I think I love it more than any other purse I've ever owned.
I had recently purchased a Chloe Paddington, which was a beautiful bag -- but so freakin' heavy I was getting pains in my arm trying to carry it around. The Twiggy is shaped and sized similarly, but the same amount of stuff actually fits into it much more easily. Carrying the Twiggy is like carrying around a bag of marshmallows, while carrying the Paddy, beautiful as it is, is like hauling around a can of paint.:graucho
The lovely olive color doesn't come across in the photo so well, but it really is scrumptious,
, less yellowy than in these pics. More lovely green. And the feel? The feel? THE FEEL of the leather is just yummy!
The Paddy? She's on ebay. Hopefully there's a woman out there with stronger arms than mine. Hee-hee. (Uh-oh, better go change my avatar, or whatever that pic is called that shows up next to your name when you post.)
Somewhere around here there's a thread for "what's in your Bbag" but until I find it, here's what I have in mine. Peeking inside...
What is all that stuff?
--Hayden Harnett chocolate brown wallet
--black COACH card case
--cell phone
--PDA (a crappy one, but it works)
--gum & mints
--Hayden Harnett gold cosmetics clutch
--black COACH sunglasses case
--red eyeglasses case
--one favorite ('cause my son gave it to me as a souvenir of a trip he went on with a friend) purple ballpoint pen
--car, house, and work keys on a hot pink COACH fob
--and a Bare Minerals compact (even though I just switched to MAC.)
No scissors. No ipod. No digital cam.
True Confessions? I saw a post on here the other day about a Pewter Day? And I BOUGHT IT! I had to. Right?
Pics of that to come....
