The bag looks nice with the coat, I like the green one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006209 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 06:43:26 +0000 lyn* 1006209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, it is a beautiful bag, but I think you made the right call. I used to love boxy bags, but a bit of slouch looks so much more elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006149 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 03:06:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1006149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you lyn* and Susie.&nbsp; Lyn, yes it was a close call for me on the Liebeskind bag. I actually bought it twice--after I returned it I thought I'd better get it back while I considered other possibilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006131 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 02:25:46 +0000 Susie 1006131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made the perfect choice for you; it's a beautiful bag. It looks lovely with your coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006108 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:54:36 +0000 lyn* 1006108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wise choice on both the bag and the awesome green trench!</p> <p>Initially, I thought that by looking at the pictures, I liked #9 more, but after reading what you wrote, I agree it's slightly too boxy I think for your style.</p> <p>I hope you and your little Piggy bag have many adventures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006103 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:38:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1006103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Suz, thanks! I've got to catch up on posts, since I was without a computer for a few days. . . I was wondering whether you got the Pliner booties. I'm excited to wear them, but trying not to wish away the beautiful summer weather just yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006094 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:34:03 +0000 Suz 1006094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks just right for you! And I love a happy ending, oh Pliner bootie twin!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm still on the hunt for my own perfect taupe bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006089 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:24:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1006089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shevia. Now you can hunt for an Aunts &amp; Uncles source near you!</p> <p>Nicole D, thank you. I agree the Rebecca Minkoff bag is beautiful. It's just the right size for me, too. And #11 is a very economical alternative to more expensive satchels with similar lines. I should add that I didn't really like the feel of its faux leather, though; some fauxs I really like, but this one had a slightly rubbery feel.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006068 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:39:09 +0000 Nicole D 1006068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your choice! &nbsp;The colour isgorgeous and versatile. &nbsp;I like how you can use it year-round. &nbsp;I appreciate you posting your reasoning for rejecting the others - but I am a HUGE Minkoff fan and I like #11 too. &nbsp;But you made the right choice. &nbsp;COntinue to enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006057 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:33:50 +0000 Jaime 1006057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made a good choice. The other bags, while very nice, all seem to big or the wrong shape on you while your new little piggy is just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006020 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 23:34:06 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1006020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Makrame and Manidipa.<br />Parsley, yes, I'm happy that the leather is soft, yet not fragile feeling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-little-piggy-bag-that-came-home-to-stay#post-1006016 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 23:29:05 +0000 Parsley 1006016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty!

I bought one at NAS, then wasn't sure about it and posted my reservations about it, along with other sale hand-wringing, here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-nas-purse-perplexity-plus-a-khaki-coat" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....khaki-coat</a></p> <p>After all the help and therapy you all offered, I thought I'd share the outcome with you. I bought the purse in photos 1-5:<br />1-2: Shown by itself<br />3-4: with my new Calvin Klein trench coat and new Donald Pliner booties, and skinny jeans<br />5: with denim shorts and sandals</p> <p>The bag is the perfect taupe color for me, and the style is kind of a saddle-bag by Aunts &amp; Uncles, from a local boutique. Not pictured is a strap extension, which converts it to a cross-body. This style is called Marzipan Pig (how funny is that?!), and is in the Grandma's Luxury Club collection, as was the one I ordered that was called Mrs. Teacake, which some of you saw before on my other thread. The supplier mistakenly sent Marzipan Pig, and I liked it. The store also got the supplier to send Mrs. Teacake, and I found it was a little smaller than what I was looking for. I think this one was meant to be mine. :)</p> <p>Other contenders from NAS, which went back:</p> <p>6-8: Parker hobo by Kooba, in taupe (6-7) and black (8). I really, really liked this bag. It was a little larger than I wanted, although I think I could have lived with the size, because it was so soft that it collapsed nicely and didn't feel overwhelming. But the super-soft buttery leather--and the price-- made me worry about carrying it every day. I found myself thinking about what other bag I could carry to work, because I might not want to have it hanging on the hook against a wall, where we have to stash our things at work. And that kind of defeats the purpose of having a go-with-everything bag. It wasn't a 10 out of 10, so I took it back. <br />9: Marilyn Botolato by Liebeskind. Such a cool satchel and I loved the taupe color with black stitching. But it felt too boxy to me, and I also thought I'd prefer a more grayish taupe.<br />10: Cupid satchel by Rebecca Minkoff. Pretty, but ultimately not me. Too much shiny hardware, a little more structured than I wanted, and the taupe was too pink.<br />11: Imperia satchel. This bag was nicer IRL than I expected. It helped me realize that I didn't want this traditional satchel shape after all, though. The taupe color was a little off for my wardrobe as well. </p> <p>I'm carrying my new bag and enjoying it. The saleswoman said there is no need to treat the leather. If it gets wet, she said to wipe it with a damp cloth to even out the moisture and let it dry. She said the leather will age gracefully. It's nice to have a little different style for a change of pace from my previous Hobo satchel style. I have other bags I can use if I want to dress up a little more.</p> <p>Hope this gives you some insight, if you were wondering about any of these bags, and thanks again for your help on my previous threads. </p> <p>Thanks for looking, too!</p> </p>
