It is very beautiful and I'm sure you will be enjoying it for a long, long time.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-887392 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:46:30 +0000 JuneBug 887392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Buying it was certainly the right decision! I love the shape of the bag and the colour is perfect!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-887388 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:43:28 +0000 HeleenH 887388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am still a little shocked how I splurged on this bag. Lyn, the small bag is the tan pocket with the red zipper. I have a busy week coming, but if I get a chance I will take a picture of me with the bag.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-887384 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:18:36 +0000 Gaylene 887384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love that bag. Good decision to bring it home with you. Beautiful, functional, and versatile--it doesn't get any better than that!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-887377 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:07:16 +0000 CocoLion 887377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice to hear from you again. &nbsp;Great bag! &nbsp;I love bags that can lead a double life. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-887363 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 19:22:51 +0000 lyn67 887363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Grreat buy, 2 bags for one price! Is the inner bag also red, or rather tan? Smart! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-887334 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 18:15:56 +0000 Stylewhile 887334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks very stylish!

Goldenpig, I am a person who basically carries one bag all the time. Although I could imagine that if I go to the beach with the family, I get the old black one out and move some stuff, just to protect my new bag from sand and salt and because it is not fully zippered. Although the saleslady said it would actually survive a trip to the beach, just clean it afterwards with a wet cotton pad.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-886188 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:36:25 +0000 hedgiehog 886188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the shade of red. Spending on a good quality bag is an investment, IMO. Isn't it lovely when you stumble upon a wonderful find? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-886123 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:05:15 +0000 Angie 886123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely the right decision!

Red is totally a neutral. Back when I carried only one bag (if you can believe that!) it was a red Fossil (I still use it). Red goes with everything! Nice score!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-886090 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:34:29 +0000 Suz 886090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's beautiful, Heleen.

The size is not clear from the photo's, when the small bag is in place, I can just fit a A4 size magazine (which is the standard size in the Netherlands, 8.3&nbsp;in ×&nbsp;11.7&nbsp;inch) next to it, if I put it in carefully. But the bag doesn't look that big, even on my short body.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-885822 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:45:31 +0000 Carole 885822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great new bag, fab color.

I love this colour for you, and I have a feeling you will be able to enjoy it for many years to come. Good decision, fabulous purchase:-) Enjoy your new accessory! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-i-bought-a-bag#post-885753 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:09:10 +0000 HeleenH 885753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi all,<br />It has been a while since I posted here, I just can't find the time to be very active. Today I cycled into Amsterdam to buy sheet music of a violin concertino for the 8yo DD and a beginners piano lessons book for the 14yo DD and on the way home I stopped at this small bag shop. I had a black, very basic handbag that was getting a little shabby. I was on the look out for a red replacement, but the bags I saw were either to small or the wrong colour. Today I found a beautiful red French handbag. Way over my usual bag budget, but it was just what I was looking for. Right size, right colour, high quality leather and made very well. It can turn into two bags, the shoulder band is connected to the zippered section you see on picture 2 and this is a small bag on its own, and snaps into the outer bag that can be carried with the small handles. To buy it was a scary decision, but I think it was the right decision.<br />I hope to enjoy it for a long time!<br />
