I'm in the minority here, but I love the stitching! I think it goes great with the Love Me style strap. Agree with everyone about the leather and color, this is a beautiful bag.

tastangan, go the the first page on purseblog. You can comment join the giveaway there.

I wish it has a zip top closure though.

I don't really go for the look of the 'stitching' either and wonder how durable it will prove to be in the long-term. The basic shape of the bag and the detail of the handles looks nice though so I would also be interested to see a plain version.

Hi Ladies,

Jackie just mentioned important information that I"d like to pass along:

- If you go to the website you'll see pictures of this bag under better clarity/magnification conditions.

-This bag of course will receive the 10% discount due to being produced exclusively for the PF. I"m not certain how long this sale will last but I"m guessing in the area of 2-4 weeks.

-You can choose your own lining and hardware. It just has to be the dark purple cervo.

-Also for those that are not "loving" the stitching then you can order a custom without it. I"m not positive if you can order this PF bag without the stitching. I"ll confirm this.

-Not sure when you can order this hobo as a custom but I "think" by September if not sooner. To be confirmed...

-Yes, this bag can be ordered as a group order for the discount!

Does this help?

P.S. Personally, I"m going to wait to see more pics in different colors without the stitching. I hope it makes it's appearance way before September but I'll find out for everyone!

Lovebags - will the plain version of the bag cost less?

Thank you for posting that!

Hm.... Which do like more? That's a tough one. Is it too plain without the stitching or do we like the original design? Let me go back and compare.

I love it! I just can't decide if I like it better with or without the stitching ... I think both ways look great. It actually gives the bag a completely different look. And the dark purple cervo ... gorgeous!

I prefer the stitching, especially after seeing the "plain" version.

I like it better w/o stitching! Wonder how the cervo purple compares in color to the purple glossy or medium purple matte? I like the tassels down the front too, cute!
