As long as it was in a GOOD way!Thanks Elaine. I thought of your Stam and the repurchase of the Cupid and, actually, those thoughts enabled me ... in a good way of course

Me, too! The only site I went to was Nordstrom, but I didn't see anything that interested me. I'm feeling very picky at this point, not interested in buying anything just because it's 40% off. This thread is a good influence on me!
This looks like a perfect travel bag... just the right size! What's the weight like?
Good luck with your search, bake... this is a big decision!
I've been complaining about some bag materials like caviar and saffiano. But, sometimes these materials really are perfect.
Today I was wearing my top handle Prada. And it was lucky too - I was standing still talking to a friend and some guy bumped into me and spilled his coffee on my bag.
The worst part? HE was frustrated and didn't even apologize. 
Some days I wish I had magical powers. He soooooooo would have been turned into a slimy warty frog.
But, my bag was fine. A wipe down with wet napkins and as good as new. I'm going to clean and condition her when I get home but this would have been a catastrophe for a lambskin bag.

I'm glad you were wearing this! This just came to mind, what would I do if something like this happens to a nice expensive bag that doesn't wipe clean easily???I've been complaining about some bag materials like caviar and saffiano. But, sometimes these materials really are perfect.

Actually, a similar incident happened with my beige Massaccesi Zhoe Legend. I entered a meat shop (this was already on the way home) and the guy there was opening a big bottle of Sprite. He was jolly and all so he probably might have shook the bottle. So out the soda squirted, some onto my bag!!! I immediately wiped with wet tissue. While wet there were splotches. I know with clean water the leather would not stain (had an earlier experience with same bag). So I had to hold my breath until the wiped Sprite dried out. Miraculously, the bag came out fine!
I know this has nothing to do with handbags. Or even clothes, jewelry, or shoes, for that matter. And it may not apply to anyone other than @Sparkletastic , who was majorly kvetching last week about her creaking iPhone 6s. But I was just reading tonight that Apple is starting a new program some time in January, going through next December, where they will replace the batteries in out-of-warranty phones (6 or greater) for... get this... $29. 
I guess they've ticked off too many people with their software slow-downs, and they're trying to get back some goodwill.
Or else the price of their stock is dropping.
At any rate, spark (and anyone else with a slow phone), I don't know for sure if your problem is battery-related, but for $29 it sure makes sense to test it out, yes?

Darn I replaced mine on my old 6 for $39 haha. That’s okay. Dad uses it now for his new drone. [emoji4]
But I read online any slow phone should get a battery replacement first, which is much more affordable than a brand new phone nowadays!
If not that, a restoration to factory settings might help.

I like dogs. I want year of the dog stuff.
Kate Spade has year of the dog stuff up and it’s adorable.

I'm so glad your bag was ok!
I think when we buy delicate bags we have to know some external force may cause a problem. I think the only thing to do then is send the bag to a spa and hopefully it can be repaired. And, hopefully, the person who caused the damage would offer to pay for the problem. <wishful thinking>
Thanks, @ElainePG! I will run to the store next month and switch out the battery. I'm gonna give this phone a lotta love in hopes it lasts at least til the next generation of phones.

Update and a pic! I am back home and happy to say that I used both bags. The Mulberry a lot - you get to know your bag when carrying it, I can only say! Turns out it was not colour transfer at all - when the mole grey coating rubs off, a darker grey comes forth. So it is only the sign of a bag loved and worn. I really seem to have underestimated the times I have worn this bag. I always hesitate because of the weight, but these days it was absolutely ok. Here are my travel companions, I think of them as classic and timeless, maybe my kind of equivalent of H B and K which goes well with my office and social life! Maybe I would only need these two bags but I also love all my others and having a daily choice!

OMG! I agree. This is exactly the vibe I get looking at your photo! Classic, gorgeous and wear wherever.
I really love the Peekaboo. Great color for this bag.
That blue is pretty! I do like the shorter leather handle that came with my Bailey. I guess I have a newer model?
