Wow, it looks really great! Did it change the feel of the leather at all?

I'm also curious about how the leather feels now compared to your other B-Bags. Is the interior tag also magenta or still light blue?

It looks great! I love how they changed everything, the zipper tape and hardware so it's well finished and looks like it came that way.

oh wow that's amazing! The leather looks really good still- RDC asked a good question- is the interior tag also dyed?

I wonder if the dyed hardware is the same feel that the new fall 08 hardware will have?

thanks girls...
now to answer you questions...
the leather really IS still soft.. icouldn't believe it myself :)
it took one week to do it which was super fast (the guy who did it was super nice answered ALL my questions etc..because i was very scared..but the urge to use it more won over..)
the cos was 64 Euros exclusive tax and shipping ..around 80 total!
he asked me if i wanted the interior tag coloured to and the little leather patch at the front zipper but i decided against it as the light blue colour is stilll so gorgeous in there..
i also asked him if he could cut me some more extra tassles in my new colour and he did an awsome job( a bit sturdier which i quite like..)
he made me a little leather patch in the same colour with my personal colour code so i could easily redye the interior if i wanted to..
I decided to colour the hardware too because I like the new look of the hardware an because with dye jobs sometimes the hardware gets Spottet with paint etc.. so i thought i just go all in :)
overall im very happy because i love the colour and i can use it a lot more than before(the light colour got dirty so fast.. and i wanted to use it as a clutch..)
there were three sealings to choose from..super shiny, glossy, and dull
i chose glossy...
he also offers leather"cosmetics" in the exact very same colour tone he dyes the bags in order to refresh the colour..(i didnt't take it though.. dont feel comfy colouring ANYTHING haha..)
hope all questions answered
