I love the UPS Man - instead of coming at his standard 4-5pm range, I come home from swim lessons with Mr. C and Princess A to find my long awaited packages at the door 4 hours ahead of schedule. I need to make him some cookies.
Today's arrival included two of the Limited Edition Pompidous from Hayden Harnett. I caught the buzz on these too late so was thrilled to learn of their LE run on these. At least I showed some restraint and only ordered two instead of all three colors - LOL!
Here are some pics of this wonderful accessory...
Shot of the back with the change pocket - I do like the texture on the leather.
Interior of Black...don't worry, packed pics are coming! :)
The front pocket...I love the lining on this. This was a change from what was originally stated, but this works for me.
The organization in the Pompidou is amazing! I can store all of my credit cards, punch cards, insurance, library, movie, frequent flyer, you name it. I have room for cash in full length, all of my coupons, and gift cards. Most importantly, my iPhone fits in the main area or the front pocket as well.
Each side of the main compartment has a card pocket with 4 slots. I have mine doubled up. There is a pocket behind that as well.
.
The front pocket is big enough to carry some powder and chap stick with plenty of room to spare! I can swap these out and carry my iPhone in here as well.
Another shot of it worn messenger...you can also carry it by the included wristlet strap...pics didn't turn out and I was too excited to take more and delay this post. :)
I am so happy to finally have two Pompidou's in my closet. Anything I would change? The credit card slots are a bit tight right now. But, they will break in. The other changes I would make are not to the Pompidou itself...
For the price tag of $155 a piece, they should each come with their own dustbag. We were also told we would get a numbered certificate since these were a Limited Edition item. Does it matter in the whole scheme of my life? No. But, if you stated we would receive them, then we should. Simple as that.
For the first time in over a year, my Pilot has been retired to my closet. I never thought the day would come.
And before I sign off, I thought I would share a couple shots of my FIRST HH Cuff...I can almost feel a new obsession coming on. These are awesome and so "me". I don't wear a lot of jewelry so these are a great way to add some personality to my basic shorts and tees.
If you found me, please leave a comment. I hope the pictures helped...

Great review, as always! :)

You are talking me into a pomp! The brandy cuff is cute, too.
Great review, Amy! I got Black and Moonbeam as well. I'm in love with the black. LOVE the lining, it's so much more appropriate to the type of leather than the butterfly one they originally planned would have been. I'm still undecided on the Moonbeam. It's lovely, I like it a lot, I'm just not sure I'll use it. It's so light, I'm afraid I'll mess it up!
My only complaint is that there were no dust bags, they were just dumped in a box and shipped. I have a real problem with that, because how are we supposed to properly store them?? The certificate isn't a big deal to me - I'm not interested in collector's items, I wanted them for lots of use. Finally, we're still waiting on our discount and shipping refunds, with no end in sight. *sigh*
Thanks for the great post, Amy. Now I'm just jealous! It seems like the pomp is impossible to get your hands on. If you have any tips on how to track one down, I hope you will post!!!
Thanks for this review...
I always thought... "what in the world would I need one of these for and what is all the rave about??" Well now I see that it is a purse and wallet in one...
Super cute! Thanks for talking me into spending more money!! lol
Hey Amy glad your loving it if you feel you need to sell one of your pompidou or even a pilot hook me up girl I'm frantically saving :)
And yes the credit card slots will loosen I can fit about 3 per slot depending on the thickness of the cards
Good to know Lexi! I am holding on tight to all three of my Pilots/Pomps!
Mrs. Faust - if you want one, I would suggest joining the Yahoo group, Babybags, or the Pink Room, which is Ju Ju Be's chat room. Many ladies bought them there and may post FS. I found an extra black for my mom on there. Thanks SO much for stopping in!
Amy, I keep getting to your page from google and ALWAYS forget who it is! haha.
Those pomps are cute, but HOW MUCH do they cost??!!?! YIKES!
