I was going to wait until end of year for next bag but saw this Bulga at NR for $149 (compare at $595). I like the soft leather and it was such a deal I brought it home (brown color), not being 100% sure I'd keep. So I went back today to NR and found the Gryson Sophie. She is not as soft but is a $825 bag for $199. She has a suede lining which I really like. Hardware is silver which I prefer over the shiny gold on the Bulga. But neither of the bags has outside pockets, which I really like. However the Gryson has the strap thing that at least can go over the open zipper if you want to carry bag open so you can grab cell phone. Both have straps that go over shoulder but rather tightly. I'm leaning a bit toward Gryson at the moment because it's more high-end with suede lining. But the Bulga may be more comfortable to carry (slightly lighter in weight and somewhat softer strap)
