^ oh my .... the camel with the python is such a great combo.

 

[Snow-White]

but no one has dries bags..
i would def recommend a bag...
mine is gorge..
my friend tossed all her MJ bags ( and even her chanel) and uses hers everyday...and my other friend swears it is the best made bag she has ever had....
she even puts her computer in it!...

get the bag!...

I've been debating which bags to buy for myself as I haven't bought any in a longgg time. After thoroughly researching I've ordered all DVN:
-a brown crocodile print leather handbag
-a black clutch with silver hard wear
-a flat black pochette also in crocodile leather

and I am debating getting a leather laptop bag or getting one custom made elsewhere

I have to agree the quality of their stuff is superb, impeccable, understated and yet so chic!

super excited

 

[laika]

they all sound lovely, snow white, please post pictures!!!

I have two Dries bags and I use them to death.

How fun!! I hope you're able to find them ...

PS His bag prices are really reasonable ... well, pretty much all of his prices are nothing to complain about

I dont have pics yet and I'm not even sure which season they belong to. I cant find any pics of them online. I just chose what looked right to me! Cant wait to get them.

 

[tourist10]

your choices sound beautiful snow-white!

I think I'm the one unlucky one with his bags. I only had one, a messenger style leather bag that I loved to death and wore everyday as my commuter bag ... on the train, bus, to work ... not holding a laptop but all my laptop related stuff. It lasted a good 2 years before the corners started developing tears in the leather. Maybe no bag should be abused that badly!

 

[laika]

maybe this is the pochette?

[Snow-White]

^oh I guess commuting can be harsh on anyyy bag.

Just to give an idea - one of the bags I chose is something like this but in black Crocodile leather

Great choices, laika! I love the prints and the overall color palette of this season - def. a reason to be excited for fall

lucky - completely agree about Barneys. I was there quite awhile ago, and at the time they had only received two racks of Dries. My eye was drawn to the rich colors. I can only imagine the racks now

OMG - python soles; I need those!

Snow-White - all those bags sound stunning. Please post pics.

 

[brigadeiro]

Hope we get to see pics soon Snow-White! I only have one Dries bag, but it!

Sacre bleu to those python soles!!!

 

[softgrey]

just fyi-
regarding that bag...
the metal tip on one side of that bar came off my bag...
and it happened to my friend's bag as well...
in my case i knew it had happened to her so i managed to grab the piece when it fell off and can have it repaired...
but she lost her metal piece and now it can never be fixed...

[laika]

^eek.
thanks for the warning, soft, must keep an eye on mine.

lucky, it appears that joan shepp has ordered that humongous knit in the camel color.

 

[luckyme]

thanks for the tip, laika. im not hugely impressed with it though. i think its a slightly different version without the inverted back but nonetheless its really just OK. i think i will hold out for a silk top.

 

[laika]

^i agree.
actually, it almost looks like mumsy version of that bell shaped sweater from the anniversary collection.

 

[Snow-White]

oh so sorry to hear that softgrey - i really love their products.

 

[luckyme]

finally got my burgundy wedges off of ebay. the day i receive them i'll probably wear them and post.

Ooh, I love those, my best friend got them at the stocksale last year in brown. But they're even more beautiful in the burgundy. Congrats!
