There was one large leopard Palma on sale in YSL boutique (Houston), I almost bought it but got a embossed croc patent instead. I think its 50% Off, you should definitely check it out, very beautiful and great deal.

if i had to pick one of those i'd get the palma. i've always liked this bag and the huge upholstery grommets on the side are a unique detail. but is it canvas or printed pony? i wouldn't shell out $1200 for a fabric bag.

I like the palma much better than the raspail I think. Esp in the animal print. Good call...

I've never seen the printed canvas IRL. Curious to hear what you think.

got the LARGE PALMA LEOPARD from houston

i have NO IDEA which one i will like best....i am assuming they are pretty similar so won't keep both? ONE has to go back!

meantime in the madness i scooped up the leopard calf hair evening bag clutch on eBay it was 350 or so on BIN ...
BUT i missed the end of the sale and the seller emailed me they put it up for 299 for me BIN! yayy!
