Ladies, don't get me wrong, I still think this is a beautiful bag, but it just is not what I expected...so you could understand my disapointment. I would have to agree with Sukey, I think it is the same leather as used in the Sunshine Nikki, w/out the glaze. It says it is the yellow from the resort line. I will say that the more I look at it, the more it is growing on me. =) I am going to give it a few days and see how I feel...Then I'll make my final decision. In the meantime, thanks for all the wonderful advice and comments. You girls are definitely good at encouraging me to err on the side of keeping this bag!
