Here are some pics of my new Kristin Elevated Leather Large N/S Tote in Gold/Brown. I don't think I am going to keep this bag, but I wanted to share some pics for those who are interested. I think the third picture represents the color the most accurately.

Wow! The leather on these bags is fantastic. :drool:

I do feel that the top/opening is a little awkward on these totes...since you are dealing with the breakaway zipper and the leather folds (if you leave the side zippers closed).

I really like the zippers on the sides.....

The inside is very pretty! My picture does not do it justice. It is more vibrant IRL. The color makes me think of mermaids.

This color looks so much nicer in your pics than in the DD. Darn, I thought I was safe. lol

What would you compare the color to? Any earlier browns come to mind?

*ecj*waxy - Do you mind measuring the drop of the long strap? Thanks!

I am just not wowed by it. There are several things I like about it, but I don't love it. I sort of think the leather and the hardware do not go together. To me, the leather is a durable, "take a beating" type of leather.....the hardware, IMO is a little too fancy for this type of leather.

I agree about the leather.....I :heart:LOVE:heart: it!!! I also agree about the opening. I haven't tried my things in it, but I have a feeling it could be a bit of a pain getting stuff in and out. I love the side zippers, though! I think they look good both zipped and unzipped.

Makes sense. I'm all for keeping only the best of the best!

I like the color IRL much better, too. I thought in the DD pic, that the leather looked like it might have a very slight bit of a shimmer. It definitely does not.

It is very similar to the Walnut Legacy leather. This leather is a just a bit lighter and perhaps a warmer shade of brown.....very close to the Walnut, though.

The drop of the long strap is about 17.5".
