What new bag?

On Monday, I decided all my bags, large and small, needed culling and organising. I duly emptied out a section of the wardrobe and figured out how to fit them all in. As I organised, i culled. Anything not used much was put aside to give away. I had so many bags that i still use, I decided that apart from the 4 patterns i have waiting to be made up, i wouldn't buy any more!!!

Today, i walked into the local chemist, and what should i spy, but this little (well , not so little) beauty! It's a Marina Galanti creation from Firenze, Italy. Such a gorgeous colour! What a wonderful size to carry aboard a plane! So roomy! And stylish!

Reasonably priced, too!

It had my name written all over it! lol I just had to buy it, girls. You all understand, don't you?

Try as i might, though, i couldn't get a photo that did it justice. This is close, on my monitor. The shiny vinyl reflects the light with or without a flash. It's actually a deep rich aubergine colour, with light aubergine colouring where the pleats and stitching are.

Now I have to find somewhere to store (read hide!) it, until I can say ["This bag? No, it's not new." ]

YYY
