We should have a meet-up/convention next year

However, it is likely our hubby/boyfriends/significant others would consider it a good opportunity for an intervention.......... It would have to be a super secret location

Where's socaligurl?? We need her input on this T&D puzzle, not that it matters too much as their bags are just TDF! But now I'm so curious!!
kimair and pinkdolphin: Thanks so much for the comparison pictures! I would love any ANY variation of those beautiful deep colors so I'll cross my fingers on that!! If they come out with a marine, tempete and raisin, I am in soooo much trouble. I guess I better start putting money aside now!

thesiren, shellybean & shopaholic48- thanks 4 the info, i might b buyin from jacky
btw, u girls r tempting me with the ravings of t&d bags,haha. i'm trying to control my spendings. but i know i'm going to jump into the wagon someday

i think socaligurl met Tony or Dom before! In China I believe. He handed her a bag while she was on a business trip or something!

amethystsparkle- THE BRIEF LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ON YOU! It looks like it was made for you and you are so lucky to have it! The leather is freaking amazinggggg

oopsnow- thanks for emailing t&d about the new colors, excited!!

coco- would love to see your tempete! i can't decide if i want GGH or GSH..

Pinkprincess113: My tempete is with RH so it is not what you are looking for.

The leather on this bag rivals the leather on my Authentic Bals IMHO.
Here is a picture of my Authentic Tempete City next to my T&D Amethyst Part Time.

first? Amethyste Part Time.

I have to say that I just love all the T&D speculations

Somehow, not knowing, is all the fun.

Here is my present T&D family along with my Authentic Bal Tempete City.
I just started collecting T&D Bags in May. I am about to receive an Argent Part Time w/GSH that I can't wait for.

 

[weirdcatlady]

Wow, I'm really loving the tempete. I hope T&D make it.

I wish I could get the auth., but if I have trouble affording the fake, you can only guess how it is with the real deal.

And sure I could save, but I have no way near that kind of patience. I'm too easaly distracted by other shiny objects

 

[coco109]

weirdcatlady: There is not much difference between the authentic and the T&D.
The problem is that I have no assurance of T&D doing Tempete or colors that I must have so I have no other recourse but to buy the real deal. I am lemming for something in Pourpre and T&D has no plans to do red anytime soon so I am getting something in Pourpre - maybe a Day or a City.

 

[PinkPrincess113]

thanks for the pics coco, the amethyst is truly amazing next to the tempete.. and i love your collection!!!

 

[shopaholic48]

coco109, what color is that Day next to your Apple Green? Gorgeous collection by the way!!

 

[devon]

gorgeous collection, coco!

ok i went back to the first thread and this is what socaligurl80 wrote:

they definitely had an accent.. I remember someone asking me if they were aussies but not sure, I don't know the difference between a scottish/aussi accent. (I can barely tell an accent from a new yorker and a californian!! )


He was definitely VERY tall and VERY white, with VERY blond hair.. I think (can't recall now, I guess I didn't really look carefuly.. well, more than that, he was so tall I didn't even reach his chest )


HTH! oh and she met DOM'S BROTHER.

 

[devon]

I think my PT is too big! I know it's only an inch longer than the City but I've scratched the upper corner of it. It must stick out just too much when on my shoulder.
Oh well, still love it! I'll just have to be careful I noticed the Anthra color when under florescent lights, is really Slate blueish. <3

 

[eskielvr]

^^ Thanks, PinkPrincess! And NOW I'm even more intrigued LOL! But English as a first language it would seem. I know from personal experience living in a foreign country...your first language can become awkward and disjointed after a while. Plus half the time I'll reread my posts and think my 8-year-old must have written the posts as they appear to be near illiterate!

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

AWWWW! Thanks oopsnow, coco109, devon and pinkprincess113 for the sweet, kind words!!!

I think we definitely need to make sure our boys do Marine/Officier and Tempete for the next batch of colors. Can you imagine a delicious, puffy, chewy, distressed Marine GGH Brief?? I'd even like it with GSH!

And I need a Tempete GSH PT!

 

[coco109]

coco109, what color is that Day next to your Apple Green? Gorgeous collection by the way!!

shopaholic48: That is a T&D Gray Day w/RH from last year (2008).
The leather on the Gray Day is divine. I think it is chevre - so thick and chewy. Such a lovely deep gray. Here are some closeups I just took in natural light.

I am now searching for something in red. Hence the hunt for Pourpre (Pomegrante Red) which I must have in a Day or City.

[devon]

^^I can imagine it all! My CC however cannot
I have to have Marine (or other navy) GSH City and possibly a First in the same color. I'm really excited!!

 

[devon]

T&D's leather and prices are really making me think about Bal's mark up--!
