I haven't seen the rasberry yet what color is it like? I have Denim, Ash in woven and regular leather parchment, champagne, and black. Anyone who is afraid of the ASh color give it alittle spray with apple. Also I was able to speed up the wing/ear of the stiffer woven bag to soften them by hanging the bag by the shorter handles and then draping the shoulder strap down and adding weight to the shoulder strap. Also adding heavy canned food to the inside of the bag will help break her in.
Happy everyone is getting to enjoy these kristens at such good prices at the outlets, she is just about the perfect bag in size ,shape and colors for my tastes.
