Nawww, just doing some mindless reading to wind down the busy day, which DID include a little shopping! Here is the Henri Bendel West 57th Satchel in burgundy that I ordered (to go with my Aigner wallet):

Hi EEL, this one is just beautiful. Looks a bit larger as well...the perfect size.

@handygal2 .. they have got to be kidding!!!  And it isn't even a unique silhouette!!!  At these prices they make the SF bags I am looking at seem really really inexpensive!!  


You got that right...

I've had a bit of stress at work and a couple of family members have been ill so I've been too wiped out to hang out on the boards the last week or so. I finally feel rested enough to stop in a chat tonight. How's everyone doing? 

 

 

 

 


Hi @foo foo shi shi .. sorry to hear that you have had a difficult time!  Hope that you're feeling less stressed and that your family members are doing better.

Do you have other Henri Bendel handbags, @EdithEllenLily? I am curious about the quality.

Sky @skyblue, EEL can speak for herself, but I've always found them to be nicely made bags. I don't believe I own any, but have looked at them in the store on several occasions.

Nice selection @EdithEllenLily... I'll have to go to their site and take a look... Like the green croco, though it wasn't what I initially had in mind for this bag... Love the little coin purses too...

Edited to note, I never used my percent off for signing up for emails, but now I don't have the code... Doesn't it just figure...

 

 


@stevieb All you have to do is add the item(s) to your cart (you don't have to have a code) and the discount is reflected in the estimated total at the bottom. I just tried it and it worked. I added the dark green croco satchel, the burgundy satchel, and the cosmetic trio (dark green and burgundy in there) and it came to $894 with an estimated total of $694 (it takes off $100 for each $400 you spend). Or, if I just order the burgundy West 57th, I would get $50 off (of a minimum of $250). I'm just testing this and not ordering...will think about it as a possible collective Christmas gift.


Edith, are you sure you didn't order??Woman Wink

 

You can tell meWoman LOL


Did she order @Sister Golden Hair?  As the old saying goes, does a bear doo-doo in the woods... Or something like that...

Top 12 Reasons Why It's Dullsville

 

12. Stevieb goes missing for a few hours so we don't post as much when she's gone (she is our favorite).
11. Sister is counting her handbags and wallets again and celebrating the Royals winning the World Series.
10. Handygal is sad about the Mets keeping that pitcher in for the 9th inning the other night and trying to decide on which half of her handbags are leaving her guest room bed.

9. Serendipity is awaiting her many QVC and other packages from pricey handbag and jewelry lines (at half price).
8. Foo foo shi shi is shaking her head in disdain thinking about some of us buying non-leather handbags.
7. NycVixen is thinking about her cool, tall fringe boots that are on their way and how she will wear them.
6. BC is closing real estate deals and cooking chicken cutlets up a storm and thinking of ways to entice her niece into liking handbags.
5. Professor is still depressed over the Barlow not working out.
4. EEL is having stress equal to that of final exams week due to meetings, paperwork and appointments for both herself and her Mom that do not seem to end.
3. Skyblue and Gramygram need to come in and post more and not just lurk and kindly give us hearts.
2. Our dear TK appears to have vanished.
1. We have so many handbags that we are trying (unsuccessfully) to not look here.

@EdithEllenLily @stevieb @Boehm Collector & all my Handbag-Loving Sisters:

 

As EdithEllenLily pointed out my glumness [above], having returned not only the Dooney TSV, but also the Florentine Dooney Tilton and Barlow!!, I assauged my grief by taking a Sunday drive to the luxe Dooney outlet (only 20 minutes away).

 

Came away with a gorgeous denim blue Florentine satchel (large enough for me, even, at 15"), my first blue Dooney, lush leather. Still showing on Dooney at $398, was reduced to $229, then another $25 off (special day), so I got to fondle it, try the handles, adjust the strap, and adore it BEFORE ordering. I'm a denim gal, so love this shade of blue.

@1Professor i absolutely love this style! I own this one in the smaller size in ocean but similar color to yours. I can fit alot into it and the shape is perfect. I can also use it cross body and although I'm only 5ft tall it is not too long for me. Congratulations on your new bag!

Absolutely beautiful bag @1Professor! I have the medium florentine satchel in Chestnut. I need to get it out and give it a spin. Everytime I see these bags I swoon all over again. Enjoy yours!
