I'm a total handbag connoisseur and can be a bit of a handbag snob, but lately I've been going for less "known" brands. I went from being a total Balenciaga whore to discovering Belen Echandia (though I still *adore* Bbags). 
Anyway, when the Jenny Yuen sample happened in December, I had to jump at the chance to try her bags. So I totally stalked Jenny Yuen and their people told me to call the showroom directly (they were probably tired of answering all my questions) to find out what bags they had.
Anyway, long story short, I got two gorgeous gorgesous super duper buttery soft Gatsby bags. I was lucky enough to score the popular Almond and a rich deep dark Chocolate. I planned on selling one of them when I received them, but now I can't let either go... yet. haha. They are really well made, the leather is really soo soo buttery soft. Its not so soft that it will drop into a pool of butter, but it might get there after some use. I'm very happy and pleased....
Here are some pics...
side by side
Almond
Chocolate
Closeup of the hardware and pale pink stitching on the chocolate one
Base of the Gatsby (4 feet... gotta love the details)

Front Pocket (there is an additional zip pocket in front of this one)
Interior (One large zip pocket w/ 2 smaller cell pockets)
