Just looked at the one you like on naughtipidginsnest - that is absolutely gorgeous. I love the grain on it- think it adds character.
Don't wait too long to decide as I think that will be snapped up

If not I think I'm going to plump for NP. If it is, then I may go the ebay route......but as to the grain, I know that really can vary considerably - and it's back to NP again as it looks so pebbly and textured and I LOVE that.....

I think the colour is consistent between bags however the grain is not. If you really love the NP one then you should go for it. Okay it maybe a bit more than the bay BUT you know with NP you get great service and no worries...

*not enabling or anything of course*

it's sold, who bought it!!

Would have been awful if someone had swept it at the last minute!

Woolly and littlestar - thanks for your input at a really crucial time - your comments finally reinforced my resolve to go for her!!! - yes, the grain is stunning, and I think she is the best example around at the moment - my dilemma was that there were some contenders on ebay (a little cheaper!) - but I just wasn't as drawn to them as NP's one, and just kept going round in circles - and eventually kept coming back to her. It's the classic, the first thing you see, you invariably end up going back to it!!!

But many thanks for your input and advice

Crikey Somerset, it was all getting a tad stressy this last half hour or so - was asking NP some final questions, and also queries to sellers of the same bag on ebay - all the time thinking I should just quit the faffing around and go for my first love!!!! - which I thankfully did (eventually! - phew - relax!!....

Yay! Looking forward to the reveal!

Just a little extra! - Shian called me just after I bought her and we had a lovely chat - as you can imagine - usual mad exchange between two like-minded Mulberry-holics! - and I mentioned how RO had started a bit of an obsession with us over the last few days and she said she had been on TPF and checked this thread and found our exchanges most amusing!!!....
