Mayle Handbags

[ChrissyM]

Does anyone own the Jeanne bag by Mayle?

I've always liked the way it looked when I've seen pics of it online but I haven't seen it in person so I'm hesitant to buy...

any thoughts on this or on Mayle bags in general? quality of the leather etc..?

lindsay lohan was spotted a while back carrying the jeanne in what i believe is the "loden" color.. which is sort of a rich green color...

this and another color are now being offered for sale prices at shopbop.com
the black is still regular price at $495...

i actually just ordered the cream colored version for myself (as a christmas present from my mother )

it's on sale for $299 at barney's so i couldn't resist... and i don't have any cream colored bags so i'm excited

I am obsessed with my Mayle 'Billie' bags! I have the large size in what they call 'Indigo' - it's a very deep inky blue violet. I also have two of the Baby Billie's, great for going out with - one is plain black and the other is ivory with black patent trim and strap.

I'm interested in adding to my collection. I'm more of a shoe girl, so when I find a bag I love ... I have to indulge.

^^post pictures if you can! would love to see your little collection

the cream bag ended up being out of stock at stupid barneys... you would think that for being such a big company they would know how to update their website

i ended up getting the loden (pictured in the first post) instead...

will snap some pics after i unwrap it for christmas tomorrow

i'm in LA right now for the holidays, as soon as I get back home to New York and have my collection at my fingertips i'll snap some pictures. they're pretty gorgeous...

exciting about your new purchase!!

 

[ChrissyM]

ok!

snapped some pictures christmas day and another today...
finally uploaded them to my computer and to my photobucket...

so, here they are!



the color is really nice in person and i think the second pic (where it's not shiny from the flash) represents the true color pretty well...

it's a bit too small for everyday use in terms of bringing it to work and accommodating all of my stuff (especially since I also got a new bigger wallet)...
but i've already used it a few times and i like it B)

the only thing i'm a bit miffed about is that it didn't come with a dust bag

^The Jeanne looks really nice on you..I think the loden is really a good buy compared to the white. Somehow the colour has more pizazz from your photos.
Thanks for sharing!!

 

[ChrissyM]

thanks!

now that i have the bag i feel like this is the one i was always supposed to end up with

much more "me" than the cream i think...

as afore mentioned, here is a picture of my Mayle Billie Bag collection...

ohh i like the cream/blk combo!

i think kirsten dunst may have a billie bag or two from what i recall..

i'll see if i can round up some pics of her carrying it at some point...

i really wish that mayle would continue making their billie bags. I really wanted the snake cut mariachi baby billie but missed out on it. I've been trying everywhere to find it, but of course its a bit too late. I'll be so sad when Mayle goes out of business. The billie bags are so great. I have the white toro one, but I wish I had more.

 

[mollygrace]

yeah, kirsten has several. i know she has a black baby billie, a white large billie and a light blueish/gray large billie ...


and yeah, i'm so sad that she isnt making any more Billlies, too! the Billie Douce is not the same ;( she's stopping her clothing line as we know, but I've heard that she may be transitioning into the perfume biz ...
