Default Does the color of your bag get richer over time? (Pictures galore!)
Mine did! I know that the Rouille (reddist-rust-orange) isn't particularly popular on this forum but check out how much the color has developed!


Before: Extremely orange, veiny, nicknamed "lobster bag" by male friends, and not that soft (with flash)




After 3 weeks: Super soft, not as veiny, getting to my perfect red.

(without flash)

(with flash)

I love the Rouille! I think it's terribly underappreciated but with time, it really develops and gets its own character!



The only complaint that I have of the Twiggy is that when I bought it, it looked quite small but now it looks huge on me. Some of my guyfriends ask me why a small girl needs a huge bag like this...and I didn't think it was "huge" at all!

Also, I love looking at all the pictures here! :)

Yes, the "lobster bag"! I guess it was the color AND the tassels that they said looked like "whiskers".

Now who has the last laugh!
