As it's all too easy to buy something online in the sales and get that "drat, that wasn't quite what I expected...and because it was reduced I can't return it...so I'm stuck with it lurking in my closet making me feel bad because I wasted the money" feeling I wanted to do a quick update post on the Tila March suede bag that I picked up in Matches' sale. Because, contrary to what you might expect from the first (rather extended) sentence of this post, it's actually better than expected because it's (virtually) three...three...three bags in one...morphing from shoulder to mid-length to messenger in the time it takes to un-snap and re-snap the studs on the strap.
In a strange way it makes me feel doubly frugal...the only downside is that the snow has been falling (or lying round in slushy piles) since the bag arrived and I'm too paranoid to mix suede and snow with reckless abandon.
I saw that balenciaga have recently released the 'lune' bags in suede.. and I am now craving a suede bag.. I bet the prices for what balenciaga will charge will be quite unjustifiable.
Happy New Year btw =)
Which bag do you have? How has it held up? I am always glad to hear that a brand which is known for their handbags really can source good leathers....I really do covet everything in suede..
And don't worry about having paid full retail for the Simone jumper when I saw it on you I thought there was no way it was going to fit tiny me, but it going on sale I though I'd try it out..it is a fantastic piece, which was actually worth the price tag [before sale]
You never do know. =)
