I think the saddle would be a safer bet because the beechwood seems lighter and might get dirty more easily (or more grungy looking with age). But I agree that I also like the beechwood lining color better. I have the tabac saddle bag (in the next bigger size) -- I don't usually do brown bags but liked the look of this color. However, the beechwood might look better with your pastel clothes. Sorry I am not helping. But you can't really go wrong with either.

Thanks so much for your input! Yep, if only I could combine the saddle with the beechwood's lining, haha. I think I'll go with the saddle. I think you're right and it will age better.

I need help! Absolutely in love with the saddle bag 23, but I'm totally torn between the Saddle with Carmine lining and the Beechwood with Rust lining. I've been agonising over pics of both and just can't decide. Would love some quick opinions on which colour is more striking/will have more longevity/go with more etc. I wear mainly neutral coloured clothing in (blacks, whites, greys, pastels or beige).
I originally set out to get a tan coloured bag to use when I wear tan coloured sandals, but I think I prefer the colour of the lining in the beechwood bag, which is really throwing me. Aaaargghhh.
Any help will be much appreciated!!!

I have the saddle with carmine skinny tote and love the color combo. It also seems to go with everything and is a very versatile three season bag. Classy. Understated with a pop of color inside. Versatile.

I bought this and was irritated that it arrived so differently than the photo's. I sent it right back. What are your thoughts on it?

I like the current version more than the one on the website. I like that the appliqués are more metallic silver and gold and not yellow matte thread. If you were expecting the yellow western look you would be disappointed. If you like glitz, you won't be disappointed.
