The bag is very beautiful, even though the purple is more like violet, but I knew it already. I know that back in 2010 when AA were sending out info on the special order Magnolia, the color swatch presented was purple, more blue in the purple than any pink undertones. Then when bags came in, it was clear that color was not the same. I definitely would have loved the purple that Treesje had before, the one that is more of a that scrumptious smoky purple that looks like velvet, but this one is cute too. Although I can not say I am deeply in love with the color. But the bag is HEAVYYYYYYYY. Even for me, I am a queen of large and sometimes heavy bags, for the compact and relatively small bag, it is heavy. Ruffles are adorable though. They make the whole bag, because without ruffles it is just a variation of an Asher. Ruffles rock!
This is going to be my next bag to wear, I just started wearing new Junior Drake after donating another very worn Junior Drake to the trash bin, so Magnolia would have to rest for a minute or two. Hope I have enough years to wear all the bags that I have had accumulated since I found this forum
