Default Black Glossy Pebbled Enchant Me!
Well it finally arrived and I have to say... I love it! I am most excited about the handle as it has the extra piece of leather running behind the rings, a la Contessa's. I thought that this design feature was abandoned once the detachable rings and messenger strap became an option so wasn't expecting it at all. This is my first glossy pebbled leather bag and I can see why everyone raves, it is stunning. Slightly glossy but very rich - any surprizingly light weight. The bag is the perfect size (mine is the regular) and so easy to access all your stuff. It slouches perfectly also must admit tends to slip off my shoulder as well. I LOVE the stitching and the long tassels.. so my style. Here are some pics. Oh and have to give a big shout out to Contessa - without her gorgeous photos and encouragement, I would have passed this one by.. but I am sure glad I didn't! Thanks P!

Gorgeous, gorgeous bag!! Congrats! It looks PERFECT on you proportionally, as well. If you don't mind, how tall are you?

It's lovely, and looks fab on you! This bag seems to look different sizes on everyone, I wonder if that is due to the leather used?

That leather looks good enough to eat...and I'm a vegetarian

I really like this style and think it's a great everyday hobo that you can wear with anything. I adore the long tassels.
I particularly like how it looks on you--so often I see people modeling bags that IMO are too big for them, but this one is just perfect. I hope you'll enjoy it.
Kongratz!

YOU look gorgeous!!!! I LOVE mine and have been wearing it lately. It drapes beautifully....you will really enjoy wearing this one!!!! I'm so glad you finally got it. And that extra piece of leather makes all the difference in my opinion as I wouldn't wear this one messenger style.

Beautiful!!!!!
