Thread: Paganini!!

i've been eyeballing them for a while now but i'm on SERIOUS costume probation and sticking to it for a while but i did save up enough to spend in germany so yay for me! hehe
paganini seems like a great way to get something as great as a bella w/o paying that much so i just wanted to see how many of you ladies had one so i can drool and get one in like, a year! lol! :)

Yep I am eyeing model 13 as well. have been for a couple of months.

same here...i'm waiting to get a password so i can see the exclusive collection ..g.:

zana if you don't get you pw soon enough pm me and i'll share mine ;)
personnally i much prefer their 'open' collection to the exclusive one. that said, haven't been to their website very recently, they might have new stuff up ^^
but yeah, their stuff IS pretty!! and as said in another thread, i've heard only good things about them ;) so i'd have no hesitations about getting one (if i could justify it and had the cash ^^)

yah seeing as to how i have about..10 or so costumes now..i can't justify buying any more lol and i'm looking to make a couple on my own..i figure that isn't as bad b/c they won't cost me that much lol
thank goodness for the monthly haflas we will start to have so i can be sure of being able to wear the ones i haven't worn yet

i really would like to see if a bhuzzer had a paganini tho..i saw one posted for sale for ever ago..no one else has a paganini? hehe

Shayna has several of Paganini costumes, and I think she was selling a few of them.

I have one, love it!! I'm ordering two more! ..g.:

Great quality, though I went for the higher end, with a few extras. Mercedes is lovely to deal with also!

What's the website, again? I drooled over a few the last time I visited and decided that I will buy one when I am ready to buy my next costume.....soon, soon.

I have two. The coin costume thats on my Bhuz photo gallery (which isn't up on their website anymore) And I also have costume #9, but mine is in red. I don't have a picture wearing that one yet. Love them both.
There's only two costumes in their exclusive collection, and I agree with the poster who said that she liked the regular costumes better than the exclusive ones. Me too.

I have the coin too. It is beeeeeautiful. So light yet sturdy and gorgeous. Goes with every skirt I throw at is and sounds so dramatic. I want another but have had trouble getting therough to Mercedes...does anyone have a personal or alternative email address?

I've been in recent contact with her...She asked if she could get back to me next week...I think she's getting ready for new items and she seems super busy!! Just keep trying!

OMG, model no. 13 is killing me!!!

Yeah, 13 is the one I have my eye on too.....

I'm such a chump - I have this awesome custom Paganini that I haven't worn yet! It's white on white with crystals, and it's a bra/belt and skirt. She made me two different sleeve options! I have to say that it's a phenomenal costume and it fit my measurements exactly right out of the box. Why haven't I worn it? I'm scared of white! It's so beautiful that i don't want to mess it up, LOL

Anyway, I sent Mercedes a pic of a costume (NOT a Bella - she will not copy a known Bella design) and asked her to make me something similar, which she did. It has the yummiest layered fringe on the belt!

I promise promise promise to get it in shape to wear by NYE - my troupe and I are going white/silver that night, so I should have some pics soon.

oooh crystals...you better wear that! haha especially for NYE..very appropriate..you'll be all sparkly lol

when you get tired of that coral bra and belt set from auraevans, let me know ;) hehehe

I realize this is a super old thread, but does anyone know what happened to the paganini site? I really want one but I don't know where to find one!

Mercedes from Paganini is the daughter in law of Bella....
She closed the side because she was pregnand.....don't know, wich time she will work again.....
