help me decide

flipflopstyle4u-I think its really beautiful, the leather looks amazing. You sold me on it, I am trying to locate one with GH right now. Thanks. You mentioned also more comfortable on shoulder too.

I believe BalNY has at least two in stock. I was sent pictures of a few bags, the SA recommended this one and I could not be happier! It is more comfortable on the shoulder.:yes:
 
Wow tough choice but for a first bag, I would recommend the regular hardware coz it's such a classic, unless you're already in love with the giant hardware then get that as it's your heart's desire :smile:
 
Thanks for everyone's opinion. I did look at both. I found the one with GH to be a bit heavier. I am currently carrying Kooba Sienna, which is heavy so I am looking to lighten up.
 
Since it's your first Bbag in a black city (a classic style and color) I vote for the classic hardware.

But if you really love the GH and feel more excited about it, go for it.
