I got the Scella City in Apricot recently (great price) and thought, I will probably return this once I see it. But nope, I love the color for summer. The hardware seems to blend in nicely with the apricot color. Also--this is the bag strangers compliment me on! They love the color and all the rivets, etc. I thought--my Kooba, nothing; my Botkier Bombay, nothing--this bag--"WHERE DID YOU GET IT?!!" It spots in the rain (but dries just fine) but I keep a big Target bag in my car for those rainy days any way (oh yeah, THAT'S chic). So I am enjoying it for the summer.
