Yahoo! My purple patent downtown is HERE today!

[Yikkie]

Finally, after a long wait (or so it seems), my purple patent downtown bag arrived this morning! I love the shine and the colour - it's a rich, yummy plum shade, which goes really well with my wardrobe! The size is perfect for my daily essentials, with extra room for other stuff. The handles fit well over my shoulder. All in all, I'm a happy owner and this is my FIRST YSL!!!

Here are some pics to share. Took them in the evening so I had to use flash - the actual colour is slightly darker. I've also included a comparison pic with my LV vernis alma in amarante (a deep purple) - very different styles and I adore both!
Merry Christmas everyone!:xtree:
