So I know it seems like the decision or input is split. I will tell you my Ali story. I was very obsessed with the khaki and Ebony Ali for a very long time. When I went to the store and was confronted with the decision, I saw black leather Ali and that was it. Now granted, they only had the khaki and black in the slim flap but I love the look of that bag but couldn't resist the one I got. Then my second trip was a gift for someone but I decided based on which one I wanted for myself so It was between black signature, natural, and whiskey Ali and I chose Whiskey. I just really like the look of that bag and wasn't so sure when seeing it online but I once saw it on a woman in a restaurant and fell in love. The black leather is more "me" but the whiskey is so gorgeous. I would go to the store wearing something you would normally wear on a daily basis, colors, shoes, etc and try both on and decide, or buy both keep them both and leave the tags on and don't use but carry them around the house, put all of your stuff in them, dress them up and decide which one you like the best. Good luck !
