LMM,that's one hell of a gorgeous Mitzy you have there. I LOOVVEE midnight blue cracked leather. I used to be so i love with Bays in that leather but I didn't end up getting it. I'm simply too chickened because the tag said delicate leather.
No kidding about customs. My friend ordered an oak Bays last year from mulberry.com and she had to pay approx over 100 pound customs!! We were both gobsmacked and outraged but I had no idea that you could do appeal if you weren't happy with the amount of customs you had to pay.
