The hardware-do you mean it is in really good condition or bad?Love them! I would like the Nikki to be slouchier but I did know that going in. Maybe with some breaking in. It is the glazed leather, not lavender at all. Inside the house it looks brown, and in the sunlight the brown does pick up more of a mauve/ purplish hue but never is a flat out lavender bag.
The MAB totally flattens out when you set it down. I can’t believe the condition of the hardware.
