				<description>&#060;p&#062;Sveta, that's SO clever.  You turned an unnoticed flaw into unique fashion.   FAB!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;What a smart way to save your bag, Sveta!  Good thinking to use the chain.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;It looks like you have lower prices in TJ Maxx than we have for these bags in Canadian Winners: I think they are over a 100 there. I need to stalk it too!&#060;br /&#062;
Actually this tan bag of mine was a great deal from Winners. It is a very good quality Italian leather -brand is Luce I think. It was retailed for $300 and was in Winners for $150. I got it on sale for $50 and when I came home I realized why it was on sale: small leather buckled strap on the back (the same as in the front) was missing. I could not get a replacement of course but I used a gold tone chain instead and it became even more interesting because of this.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hey Sveta!   It IS the same bag as Carole's.  Mine is medium size version of this tote.  Size: L 13&#034;, H 11&#034;, W 6&#034; Strap Drop 8&#034;.  (It comes in medium and large.)  It WAS $80 at TJM, I got it for under $50.  Retail price is $129. My patience paid off!   And I had been waiting for MONTHS!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Barbara, I like your bag! Is it the same as Carole's - color looks different but that may be just the picture...&#060;br /&#062;
It looks quite big! I was looking at some T. bags in Winners but they all were too small for me. This one would  be great. Just curious: you said you got it for crazy price - what was that? In our Winners all T. bags are above 100..
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Carole, don't you love how SOFT that Tig bag is!  The color is gorgeous.  I had been stalking my local T J Maxx for months seeking that elusive turquoise Tig Tote and finally found it there on sale at a CRAZY price.  I love Tignanello bags, the quality is superb and the colors are beautiful.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Sveta- We are turqoise bag twins! I have one about the same color and love it. I will be wearing mine through fall, it looks great with so many colors. Enjoy! ps. I have the same Born flats only mine are yellow, didn&#034;t realize they had that yummy turqoise color too, extra FAB. &#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'm late but want to say I love the turquoise.  Like you, I don't get excited about handbags, but YLF seems to be changing that.  After SYC a nice turquoise bag is at the top of my shopping list.  BJ, thank you for posting the Wilson Leather bags.  They have an outlet store nearby.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;LOVE LOVE LOVE the turquoise bag and those adorable flower flats!    Matching is always an option you can keep in your fashion bag of tricks.  You'll be surprised how many colors look great with turquoise: purple (my personal fav), chocolate, navy, gray and if you're feeling extra bold: red!   The tan bag is a great color and the detailing is fun.&#060;br /&#062;
Here's my Tignanello turquoise bag and my Palladium flats - the shoes are a bit darker than the photo shows. The colors don't match exactly, but they look great together:

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Based on your feedback I cut the tags off and this bag went to the first outing today!&#060;br /&#062;
It is sitting on my desk right now and cheering me up every time I see it - and trust me, I really need some cheering this week at work, it is so crazy!&#060;br /&#062;
Thanks again to all for your help!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Beautiful color and it is a good shade to be worn all fall and even winter (if your outfit doesn't lend up ooking prematurely springy)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;It IS a bonus when you shoes match - I can't help it but I like repeating a color somewhere because it looks intentional instead of random.

&#060;p&#062;The new bag is great and not too light a color to wear in the fall and into winter.  I love the tan one too.  Keepers both!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I ADORE the colour! Absolutely gorgeous. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'd merrily carry it in fall- it will look great with most things!
