She's gorgeous, MaryBel!I have been carrying mine and it is developing wrinkles in the base of the handle, so you are right...they are just going to get softer and more broken in with time. Just adds character! Congrats! I need to check on the shipping status of my ginger from my trade in.
GF, finally it arrived. Worth the wait...it is silky smooth gorgeous!Well, my bordeaux hobo finally made it home! And it got here one day earlier! It seems the postal service got it early enough that they were able to deliver it on the same day.
It is a gorgeous bag! Looks so elegant. I love it! I definitely want more colors!
I got a smooth one. It has some minor scuffs which are only noticeable to us (since we look at every inch of it with a magnifying glass) so they are ok, but it has a vertical crease on one of the side panels. Again is not very noticeable, probably only to me since I know it's there. I was a little unsure of what to do yesterday when I first saw the big crease. I thought of sending it for a replacement but the whole idea of sending it back, possibly having to deal with CS, and waiting forever to get her again and then there's the risk of getting a bag in worse condition made that option not very appealing.
After purse posing with her I've decided to keep her.
I think the whole idea that I got in my head of the collection looking like Alto bags got me the wrong expectation (you know, when for an Alto you want complete smoothness and not a wrinkle in sight) and completely forgot that these are Florentine bags, which will get softer and more relaxed with time. I just looked at the bag again and saw there are some smaller horizontal creases on the other side panel and some smaller ones in the back of the panel with the vertical crease on the front, which again reminds me that I was expecting too much. Again, I think these are only noticeable to me and some of you, because we inspect the bags like crazy, but I don't think anybody who sees me carrying the bag is going to notice or care
So here she is

I received the ginger color today; it's a beauty. The color is more saturated than the natural color.
Thanks. I think I like this better than the bordeaux, though they are both gorgeous. Not an armpit bag at all; it has a nice drop and the bag is slim so it is not bulky against the body.
