Mine is breaking in really well, tho I have to admit I have been wearing my Luggage with the strap much more, just because I LOVE the color so much!
The Forest is getting lighter on the piping, this is the major difference I can note.
It was pretty darn smooshy right from the beginning, and also the front corners/ends do not turn in at all anymore the way they do on the new bags, KWIM ?
I am loving both of these, and really hoping for one in a darker Grey with a STRAP !
