Thank you so much for your reply. I'm still struggling over this purchase. A friend asked me if I would have bought this full price if I'd seen it - ie, is this the Peekaboo I would have wanted? Honestly? I would have bought a regular-sized selleria. But it's undeniably a lovely color and the calf is definitely more durable-looking than the nappa. So I'm trying to decide whether to accept that I got a good deal on a lovely Peekaboo, even if it wasn't at the top of my wishlist, or whether it would be better to put the money I spent here toward that regular-sized selleria version!

A little trick I use, and I did with my mini peekaboo due to the colour, is to place the bag in your vision all day but not touch it. I usually find after a couple of days I either want to use it or I find I’m subconsciously not bothering with it. That helps me to decide whether to keep a bag or return it. They’re too expensive to be unsure about.

I’m going to be in the minority here, but I’m honestly not a fan of the bag. If you’re having any second guesses now, you may regret the purchase later, even if you did get it for a steal.

I’d return and put the funds toward a regular Selleria PB.

That's a good idea. I'm generally against buying an expensive bag just because it's a "good deal", but I do think the shade is nice, so I'm torn...

EDIT: Oops I forgot to insert quote - this is replying to @BigCherry!

That's definitely what I'm afraid of. I do like that this shade of blue could be worn year round. (The regular selleria I've had my eye on is the English Rose shade which is, at best a 9 month color, I think.) I'm not so sure I'm going to love the studs long term, though. Thank you!

Oh it's calf leather? Even better!

Yes, since it's calf - and at an advantageous price, relatively speaking - I've been weighing the possibility of using it as more of an everyday bag. I'm afraid I'm being highly indecisive... I do have 28 days to make a return, however, so I still have time.

I used to think that this was a good deciding factor, but sometimes the price of things actually draws our attention to new options that we fall in love with. Just because the sale drew us to them doesn't mean that they can't become new wants.

If you're still not in love with it, then consider returning it. Would you regret letting it go should you choose to return it?

Honestly, I need to think about it more. I did end up returning the Peekaboo Fit I purchased on deep discount, as it was just a little too big for me - which was definitely the right thing to do, even though it's a gorgeous bag. I'm less clear about keeping/returning this one!

Just sharing a pic of my first generation black mini and a snakeskin monster eye black mini (call me crazy but these two black same-looking mini PABs make me happy)

melsig, what did you decide to do with the calf skin blue pab?

Sorry I couldn't resist.

This aside, i think your Peekaboos are quite different, especially with the Monster face inside one of them. Does your first generation one have the Zucca lining inside?

Lol!!

That is quite true, a closer look would show they are different especially on the inside. Also, dimension-wise, the older one is slightly smaller in length and width, and significantly smaller in depth. Its lining is suede.

I generally prefer to wear them closed so they look similar when photographed at some distance. I love the flash of color when getting stuff in and out of the monster.

Addicted to bags, thanks so much for your input on this issue. In the end, I got out all of my Peekaboos and realized - I really, really love the Peekaboos I’ve owned for a while. I’m as smitten with each of them as much as when I originally purchased them. This gave me some clarity. The studded Peekaboo was beautiful, but I really regarded it as mostly a good buy. I own mostly minis (apart from the bag in my avatar), and I wanted another regular sized one. But...this wasn’t the one for me. Despite the great discount, I'd rather put the money toward my next dream bag. So...I returned it! It’s crazy, but I think I made the right decision. Thanks again!!
