The All Things "Baba" Thread

Oh gosh yes!! I'm sold on the Slings too. I thought they were really really small but when I looked at the photos of the models wearing them, they're not quite as small as I thought.

They also have shoulder bags that are slightly larger....... I have two of them

I recently bought their 2011 Bohemian Cats Calendar and it's just gorgeous. In fact I got a second copy which I will give to my mother.
I'm really curious what this "Zodiac Cats" project mentioned in their newsletter is. I like what I'm seeing and I want more! Astrology is my other passion after all.
And yes, I'd love to see scarves and I'm still waiting if they will make any pillows (I'd love "Strength" on a pillow!)
We have to keep in mind though that Baba is a small enterprise and I almost felt sorry for Karen yesterday with the onslaught on the new bags.... I think they still need to adjust to how popular they have become! Better though to have stuff flying of the shelves than sitting there!

Lets not forget the wonderful customer service they provide. Karen always has gone over and above to help me with any issues that arose.

Last Christmas I bought a Laptop bag and a sling pouch both with the Gothic Tarot Reader design here:

Both are exquisite - the Laptop bag is perfect!

Oh, I also got a couple of regular bags and it's no surprise how wonderful they are.

I think I would love to have a couple of shoulder bags- maybe this Christmas!

I would like a half size messenger, the size of a handbag. At the moment I use a messenger for work and I do have a few to choose from...

I love the sling pouches. I use one as an evening bag with a Tarot print on it.

I'm yet to get a World cosmetics bag.

The messengers are an ideal size for a notebook computer by the way - I have five (bags, not computers) and I will be getting more because it's nice having bags for different moods - I'm in my "don't mess with me need to finish my thesis" mood right now so I am using this bag:

I did have one potentially embarrassing incident a few months back - I was walking down Grafton St (main shopping street in Dublin) with my Brave Tabby messenger and some horrible man shouted "nice pussy" at me - I said "thank you"! (I don't embarrass easily).

The cosmetics bags are great by the way - I have the Lady and the Unicorn and ordered another one for one of my fellow medievalists - it came to the Leeds Medieval Congress with me last month (they would have sold like hotcakes at the crafts fair there!)

Even though I've been reading/collecting tarot cards for almost 20 years I discovered Baba through their bags - finding out that they also designed those incredible decks was just a nice bonus. And I can't wait to see what magical projects they will think up in the future...

You sold me. I dashed back over and ordered one of the two last Faith/Hope/Chocolate ones because that price was simply too good to pass up. My first messenger - hooray!

Okay, that's hilarious. Good for you.

The messengers are great - I need a bag big enough to put my assorted junk into, I always have at least one book with me. Apparantly there will be a new improved version coming out with more pockets - can't wait!

The Vintage what? Ummmm, I need to trot over to Etsy now...

I sooo wish I could afford a shoulder bag! :/

I actually prefer the sling pouches now, except for the straps which I love on the shoulder bags.

The sling pouches are pretty much the same cost as a deck.

LOVE the slings too, Aerin!

I like I can take the straps off, and then just use the bag like a tarot bag and pop it into my bigger bag!

When slings come out in the new image, I want a Mori and Five Cups!
