I sold my old digital camera and am looking for a new one. Hopefully I can track down the Canon I'm interested in by the end of this weekend and will have pics up by next week!

If you're going for the best appearance of the bag, I would go brown suede. If you live in an area with a lot of bad weather, get the leather.

The suede requires more responsibility but If you have another bag to use in bad weather you're set. If you want a "no fuss, use all the time" bag, choose leather. Out of the two leather colors, it's personal preference. Try to think of your wardrobe and what would go best.

Hope that helped a little. I'll try to post pictures of my bags as soon as I can.

I just came back from trying these on. My store didn't order any of the suede because it snows a lot here. The leather was OKay, but I REALLY wanted to see the suede.

Okay - so I thought I had ordered the Coffer in Noce from Saks.com - at least that's what the pic said at the time I ordered it - HOWEVER.......here is a pic of what I got. It IS gorgeous IRL but $1200. for a fabric (even if it is velvet) bag seems like alot to pay. I just can't decide whether or not I should keep it. I need everyone's opinion - PLEASE - TIA! (Pic from Saks.com)

Just my opinion:

I really love the look of this bag and was tempted to get it myself. However, I needed a bag for convenience and wanted a shoulder strap attachment. You need to know your needs really. Leather is easier to keep in good condition but if you're getting a bag just for the look, this bag is a great choice. It is a little pricey for velvet tho.

Hi Jan

I personally wouldnt keep it as it's alot to pay for a bag that you may not get a lot of use out of plus it's not even leather. Why dont you send it back and get a coffer or another bag that you love ? $1200 is still alot of money.

Thanks Audrey and Ginger - I'm still debating. The straps are long enough to wear as a shoulder bag and when I saw the leather coffer IRL it was HUGE - this is a bit smaller. If the bag were $800-900, I would keep it for sure. I guess the problem is.....I love the bag but the price is hanging me up. Any more opinions would be greatly appreciated!! (BTW - this bag comes in blue, like a royal blue as well as this chocolate color. I don't want another blue bag, but I bet it's gorgeous).

The price thing is a definite hang up. I think if I had to pick between the two I would take the coffer. If the coffer is too big, there are a lot of other pretty bags miu miu has this fall. Don't keep the bag if it doesn't feel right.

OMG....that's an awesome bag and pictures. Thank you so much Cilifene. Appreciate it. Are the two pockets outside pretty roomy? or those aren't real pockets?
