Glad to be of help! Can't wait for you to get your bag!

LOL, you're on the wrong forum if you're hoping to get advice to dissuade you!

The Sebastian and Sophia are two rather different looks, IMHO... Are you looking for something more polished (Sebastian) or something more feminine (Sophia)? The Sophia's by no means a casual-looking hobo, but the Sebastian looks more refined, IYKWIM. Another factor to consider would be exterior pockets or lack thereof. I don't think the Sebastian has any, whilst the Sophia has three small-ish ones (two zip pockets on the side corners, one more under the flap). The rolled handle (Sebastian) vs flat handle (Sophia) may make a difference too. Here's a review/reveal thread for the Sebastian where the rolled handle comes up: Sebastian Reveal!

I personally love the quilting in the Royale collection, but the Sophia might be more versatile in this case!

I want to get the mini Kingsley, but still indecisive about the color. I like the electric blue leather but it has gold hardware, I prefer gunmetal hardware on the cherry. Yet I also think I want the grey one. Ah.....so hard to decide!

Thanks jxwilliams! I also like the way Sebastian hangs on the shoulder, although I'm a bit concered that the rolled handle won't be comfy.

Thanks starkfan! I saw the reveal thread on the Sebastian and it got me interested in the style. It looks great on! But I'm thinking the Sophia might be more comfy on the shoulder. Also, I like the exterior pockets on the Sophia. So I guess I like the style of the Sebastian more but the functionality of the Sophia more. I still can't make a decision!

I'm also liking the Larchmont...what do you ladies think of it? Is it too plain? I guess I like the Sophia more than the Larchmont if I had to pick.

jxwilliams · Sep 6th, 2009, 10:51 AM

Boy, I sure would like a Magnolia with the discount....hopefully they will put them on the website soon!!

jxwilliams · Sep 6th, 2009, 10:56 AM

jc-I love the Larchmont in grey! I drooled over it when it was at Luna Boston! Of course now I can't find a pic, but it's awesome, a great neutral and the perfect size!

jc0812 · Sep 6th, 2009, 10:59 AM

^^^Yeah, I'm liking it more and more! It has lots of exterior pockets and no flap to deal with, like the Sophia. I'm kind of liking the lilac color too for some reason. Gray would be nice too, although I can't find a pic of it. I have lots of gray bags though so I should probably stay away from gray.

Edit: Nevermind, I found pics of the gray through LB. Very lovely! Black is great too!

jxwilliams · Sep 6th, 2009, 11:03 AM

And mother of pearl--it is only $218! Okay I think I have to get the grey one, I can't pass that up!!

missmary · Sep 6th, 2009, 12:20 PM

I ordered the Mortale clutch in black -- I'd been wanting one for a while -- and I threw in the Mortale pouch in Vintage green. My total came to $183.64 with that darn $20 shipping, and that darn California tax. I'm on the fence about going back and getting an Audrey hobo.....

jc0812 · Sep 6th, 2009, 12:26 PM

^^^We have to pay tax in California? That kind of kills the deal for me. I'll have to think carefully about what to get. :(

missmary · Sep 6th, 2009, 12:43 PM

^^Yes, it sucks! But, it was still less than any other price I could find online, if that's any consolation. Of course, that means, they are in California, so hopefully that means I'll get my package right away!

jxwilliams · Sep 6th, 2009, 12:44 PM

Yeah, it sucks. My larchmont came to about $250 which is still a great deal. The $20 shipping and tax added about $42 to the total. Oh well, still an awesome deal!

raclark22 · Sep 6th, 2009, 01:52 PM

Is the shipping $20 total or per bag?

Kilala · Sep 6th, 2009, 02:12 PM

raclark22 - I'm not sure. I went through the check out process with 2 bags and it still showed up as $20 (total) for shipping. I changed my mind and ended up only purchasing one bag in the end.

jandelvis · Sep 6th, 2009, 02:18 PM

I got the Asher in Fuschia!!! I already have a fuschia bag (Jenny Yuen Gatsby in garnet) but i've loved the Asher from afar for so long and toni's pics sent me over the edge... I expect to wear her alot this fall with my black HH Audrey coat - will definitely perk up a Boston winter!!! It's going to be the only Treesje in my family -- I owned one years ago that I sold on the 'bay that I loved but wasn't a style/color that worked for me. I am consistently impressed with the ones I've seen IRL at LB. Can't wait to see it IRL!!!

jc0812 · Sep 6th, 2009, 02:19 PM

Congrats Jess! I LOVE my ashers...very comfy and functional, as well as stylish!
