I'm a bit disappointed with the offerings. I like the Coach and the Delvaux, even though they are very different.

I'll just wear my Hermès Dragon Flash ties unless I can find something SLG that's utterly irresistible

Strangely not, maybe a year or two ago. More recently they also did an embroidered dragon tie.

Be careful if you're thinking of looking for them online, I've seen a couple of fakes.

Luckily I got mine straight from the boutique...maybe I'll wear it as a novelty this year :blush:

Went to look at it again online and it offered me option of picking up in store. I happen to be in Orlando all week for work and looks like it's available here so I can check it out in person and share pics tomorrow. Wouldn't you know it's at the same outlet mall I was just at earlier tonight (go figure). I went to look in prada, bottega veneta and jimmy choo but had I known about this a few hours sooner, I would have been on a dragon mission.....

And as far as I'm concerned, this does not count as breaking my self-imposed ban on buying handbags bc 1. It's really more like a SLG, 2. had I known this was available I would have bought it when I ordered other on Dec 31 (before ban began), 3. Its kind of part of a set with other one, and 4. At this price, not going to break the bank.

I also allow Nolitas to not count as bags. I mean, they barely are, more like a wristlet! At most, they are 1/2 bag.

Yes, it's pretty stunning in person. That T lock emblem is a piece of art. The ombre is a tad darker in person. After seeing it in person I went home and thought about it for a few days and then ordered it online. Lol. It should arrive in a few days.

I'm an advocate of thinking about it for a few days. And you did and who can blame you for not passing it up? Pics please when you receive it.

Yes I spoke too soon as my PLAN was to not buy any bags this year and to save money more then spending it; however this is not a bag I can pass on lol. It's the Year of the Dragon...AND in ombre! Two unique features. I love ombre. Lol. Yes I'll post pics! :)

Very happy I got the Klare today! Imo it’s the best bag of the collection (assuming you’re not on a bag ban 🫣). All odd coloring/shadows are attributed to the excited new owner and poor lighting in her home at night. Funny what someone said about the glittery stars… I also thought of an arts and craft project. Still got the bag, obviously!

I’m not a beige person but this shade is pretty classy and not so light that I’m worried about keeping it clean.

Didn’t see the scarf, but I’m about to order that online!IMG_0444.jpeg

Still… I am disappointed there’s not much red out there!

I’d consider getting this Radley piece instead, as it screams LNY (a good thing) and I like the dragon charm. I’m not familiar with Radley, though. Thoughts?

So I’m thinking about it more… I really love the red, and am leaning towards getting that instead.

OTOH, I just remembered I already have a cute red designer purse that I typically consider a good LNY piece… my LV x Kusama capucines…

Oh wow! That bag charm is everything! I'm loving it too! It looks great on the bag! I am suppose to be on bag ban island but want to buy the bag for the charm! Lol. I have purchased a Radley bag years back and still have it. It's made very well. Is it the bag that has a little dog as it's "logo"? If so I do think the quality is pretty good and my friend has a few bags from the company. I'm going to go on a hunt to see if I can obtain this charm! I just purchases the Year of the Dragon charm from Kate Spade and it's super cute and made well! All leather. There was a 20% of promotion going on online as well when I made the purchase and may still be.

Oh the Kate Spade charm is cute! Looks like firecrackers too!

Good luck on your search for the Radley charm! Yes, that’s the brand with the dog as the logo.
