It's a gorgeous bag and one that you could be proud to carry. If you think it will make you happy, then go for it. If you think you will feel like you "settled" then keep waiting and searching for what you truly want. I waited almost 6 months for my dream bag to come up on EBay (because that is the only place I could find it anymore). I passed on a handful of bags that were close but not exactly what I wanted. In the end, I'm glad I waited. The challenge of finding it and then winning it on EBay was all part of the fun.
