  • the First (a SS 05 Apple Green and ) $995 retail, 13 x 7.5 x 2 ; 18.5" detachable shoulder strap
  • the City (a FW 05 Magenta) $1,195 retail 15 x 10 x 5.5 ; 24.5” shoulder strap

All fully stuffed:

I often refer to this picture from the lovely Seahorseinstripes.It ranges from a coin purse, to a 04 clutch, to a first, to a city and to a weekender.
