Glazed Almond Matinee with Chocolate Pullbacks

Funkylala helped my husband buy this for me behind my back for my birthday! Even as I was needling them to find one for me. I have to say, customer service at FLL knows how to keep a secret! And they wrap up merchandise like Christmas morning. I'm a new FLL fan!

The bag screams quality and has the "good" smell - a faint fishy good leather smell. It's a lot lighter than I thought, too. That's a big plus for my problem shoulders. I do wish I could add a strap, but it's no biggie.

I took it to the cobbler today at lunch, forgetting that they were closed on Mondays! Bah! I got her Saturday and don't want to take her out until I get her treated. Yes I'm a spaz!! But I may take her tomorrow for a special occasion and just be careful.

These photos were taken with my phone. I took nice pix with my digital camera, but can't find the cable necessary to transfer them. I'll update later.

If it weren't for this forum I wouldn't even know how to find my personal favs of Rebecca Minkoff, or how to get them. I've learned SO much and I love it all.

Wow that is very beautiful. Tell me more about the FLL wrapping. I always think that presents are just so much better when you are opening them in beautiful wrapping paper.

Let's see: it was in a classy dark box with a fuchsia ribbon, I think. Inside that was the duster with my little lady tucked within. I'm probably forgetting a detail or two, but Hubby asked them to wrap it specially as a gift, so I'm sure they threw in a few more ribbons. :smile:

I want to order something else from FLL just to go through the unwrapping experience again. It was a great Bday! Totally unexpected.

I'm telling you, I thought the Matinee wasn't for me but I became too curious after the raves here. THIS BAG IS FOR EVERYONE!

Here are better pix, taken by hubby. I'm in my frumpy clothes with a weird hand pose, but just look at that yummy golden color!

Daph, I'm glad you like the fund! I love seeing the balance creep up. It helps me be patient. Sort of.

You can wear it on your shoulder, but for me, I find that the outer handle of any rolled handle purse always drifts off. I think I have weird shoulders, tho. If you normally wear rolled handles and have no trouble, you will be ok with this one.

But also ask the other multiple-matinee wearers.

There was a glazed almond Mat on ebay and I see it wasn't bought. Maybe the seller will relist!
