Confused and frustrated about my new 35cm

OMG, I bet it looks amazing in person. What a lovely bag, Sus! I am glad this all worked out to your satisfaction and that you love her!! She is gorgeous!
 
Thank you everyone (Mrs Morris, Princessfrog, Emilia, CobaltBlu, HandyBags & Latigresse) for you kind words and congratulations.

I have used my new bag for a couple of days (hiding from the raindrops of Southern Alaska) and find it to be a wonderful addition to my one color leather bags. My DH says it looks smaller than my other bags but I think that this is the stiffness of box.

I recommend everyone go out there and get one for yourselves!
 
Sus! What a gorgeous bag. Congratulations to you. Brick is one of my favorite H colors. It's on my "someday" list. Fabulous choice, and I'm so glad you're enjoying it.
