The navy is lovely. Sell me this bag - why is it so perfect for you? Be warned it probably won't take much convincing...

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!!

woody, here are some of the reasons I think this is almost the perfect bag...

1. the leather is amazing, very thick and sturdy yet soft, with that beautiful Heloise glaze; the colors are delicious and deep and nicely saturated
2. it wears in with just a week of use and develops this incredible pillow-y slouch, and the little nicks and distressings that show on the leather with use make it look sort of vintage and so uniquely mine
3. the drop is fantastic, it fits my shoulder perfectly, is 100% comfortable and doesn't slide
4. the hardware is sturdy but not showy and so far so good with the quality of the handles and attachments
5. the magnetic closure is excellent, they magnetized quite a bit internally all around the press closure and once it is closed, it stays closed (it does close asymmetrically like most hobos, but I like that)
6. it holds everything and then some, but for some people it could turn into a bottomless pit type of bag if they carry lots of loose items
7.it is incredibly lightweight, which is pretty unique for a lot of Chloes, in particular Heloise
8. it just has a great and unique look to it and I can wear it anywhere with just about anything

(did I convince??)

Stunning in Navy - i like all the colours though, it sounds like the best bag.
