I'm in with a Beechwood 23. I love both exterior and interior colors, I just wish it had the back exterior pocket!! I'd have ordered the regular size if it had come in Beechwood because I love an external pocket, but not in love with the colors in which it's available - except the fog and...I now have a bag in that color.

One S.A. at my FP store let me play with her fall release 23 when I went in over the weekend. Hers had the pocket. Sigh. I ordered the 23 not realizing they'd changed the design.
My bag came from the Madison Ave store, and the front below the flap seems duller/darker (it almost looks dirty) than the flap itself. I'm sort of on the fence about keeping the bag right now.

It's an ugly dreary day here. The light is not good enough to take decent pictures, but here's a quick pic. 2nd pic shows no back pocket..boo. ( Pardon the grown out mani. I'm overdue! )
