Default My Blue/Grey Matinee is here!!!

So it just arrived at my front door... I snapped a few quick shots. It came packaged nicely, and I can report after much speculation it seems to be in reasonably good shape! There are a few minor scratches on the leather here and there, but I am assuming that this is pretty much inevitable with this type of leather and the fact that the bag has probably been sitting around for a while. It came without tags or a dustbag though... I am a little surprised and dissappointed by this being that I did pay full price. It is a beautiful bag, but I am not sure that I am 100% feeling it... Being that I have a dark grey Mattie too, I may just have to part with this one. I am still on the fence, can I justify two??? The receipt says no returns, just store credit...Guess I should have asked, but I got so swept up in the moment that it escaped me!

The color is gorgeous! I'd have one hell of a time choosing between this and dark grey! Maybe the store still has the dustbag?

Wish there were mams in this color too!

Great bag! I have a dark grey Matinee too =). I'd be curious to see a picture of both of yours next to each other to admire the differences.

Here's a few comparison pics of the dark grey next to the blue/grey... Dark Grey's on the right. The dark grey is definitely softer and smooshier which is a big factor for me, but the blue in the blue/grey is gorgeous. They really are two very different leathers, one has a sheen the other matte.

The bag came from iloveshop.com. Nmarcus had posted that she saw it there over the weekend if anyone was interested...so I called and snagged it!

It is awfully pretty, but I agree that it's too close in color to the dark gray one. Which do you like more?
