Oooo congrats. I'd also love to see modelling pics. I like the idea of the bag, but not sure about the proportions, like maybe the front flap is too high or something, not sure. It would help to actually see it on a person!
I know exactly what you mean about the red. I am also drawn to it somehow and I'm not one for red usually. I think seeing it on Mandy Moore did it, my wardrobe is mostly muted colours and neutrals and I loved how it looked with an all grey outfit. But you have to make sure you will use it, if you mostly wear colours then for me I think it would probably be too much. Also consider what other bags you have already, if you need this to be your one bag for everyday then midnight might be better, but if you already have a couple of good neutral bags then it could be nice to have this bag to use when you're wearing an outfit that suits it.
