Default My First RAFE came today!!! What a Beauty!!!

I got my new bag today! I am so in love with it. YAY!

It is the RAFE Wooster Kate Hobo in Charcoal. The hardware is more antiqued than this picture; not so bright. The leather has many varying shades of grey and black, and it is the softest leather ever. The strap can be varied in length 3 different ways; very cool! I was worried the size would be too big for me, but it is perfect! My first Rafe, but I can tell you it won't be the last. This is a great "everyday" bag.
I bought it from bagshop.com for $391.50 free shipping/no tax ($495 retail). The best bag bargain I have had in years!

That is a gorgeous bag! I had a similar Rafe bag in the blue patent Kate style and it was too big. But I think yours in the leather will soften up and scrunch in when it's broken in. Great bag!

I like it. The leather looks like it would be very soft.
