I was so disappointed and could not talk my self into taking her home as it would drive me crazy. The color is wonderful, of course the size is large and the bag is no heavier than the regular laila,imo. I purchased the shell laila and don't regret my decision. If the python didn't lift on that front pocket I would have taken her home, but my A D D would not allow me to. Good luck I hope you have better sucess.

Thanks for the heads up on what to look for. The scales lifting scare me! I dont want the bag to look worn out quickly.

Thanks for the pic!! How are you liking her so far? She is gorgeous!!

I really love this bag. I like how it fits and stays on the shoulder. I can see where some girls worry about a little scale lifting, but I think that it's part of the character of the exotic. I get complements every time I wear it and it goes with everything. Not my everyday bag, I have too many to devote my time to only one. ( so I guess I'm not monogamous?? As far as bags go anyways!!)) Wouldn't give her up for anything :)

I just want to make sure that I'm not disappointed in my UHG like I have been in the past. kwim?

I do know what you mean about disappointment after lusting for a particular bag. But I assure you, this was a HG for me too, and it's all I expected and more! I actually like the contrast of the resin rings, not too noticeable, just a classy touch. Good luck to you and your quest!!

I have other bags with resin rings and have had no problems with them.
