OMG I Loooooove this bag!!:yahoo:
I sold my black Sasha a few days ago because I found it too fiddley, and after the recent drama I had with the Snakeskin Sasha, I wasnt looking forward to receiving this one as much as I was when I first placed the order. But when I pulled it out of the box all was forgiven.
This bag looks great IRL. I was worried about the pony hair on it, because in the Active Endeavor pics the hair looked very black and quite contrasting against the the blue leather. But the hair is actually more of a steel grey shade which compliments the smokey blue leather nicely. It looked great against my jeans.
I feel I got a real bargain with this bag, as the price tag was $795 but I paid $298, with a shipping cost of $40.
I took the pics of the bag sitting in my front window so the light shows the bag in its true shade.
:heart:

Beautiful Hali!
I always fancied getting myself a plain leather variety of this bag but couldn't find the price I wanted. I'd be very interested to know how the calf hair fares in the rain.
I bought more Botkiers than anything else this year. Love these bags!

LOL...Im hoping it wont have to 'fare' at all. I dont want to risk it. My own hair has a tendancy to go frizzy in the rain, so I dont want to chance it with the hair on my bag! Hahaha.
Mind you, its pony hair, and I dont see many frizzy ponies. I guess it keeps them dry in the rain so my bag should be ok if it gets caught in a shower....in theory anyway.:roflmfao:

I've seen actual 'calves' in the rain, I wouldn't worry a bit about it. LOL:P
