I just went to the stores to see both bags. The ferragamo was a big disappointment. The leather looks cheap, it was not pure white in a way, so looks as it it has aged a bit although it is new. The paddy was fantastic! The colour is what I really love abt the paddy, it is off-white as mentioned and I guess becasue of that, it won;t turn yellow with age since it is kinda yellowish already, in a nice way. Only problem with the paddy for me is that I can;t carry it on my shoulders with my winter coat on!!!!!!!! I read that many of you could! I don't really understand, it keeps slipping off my shoulders, (and i'm not that fat!) if you know what i mean. I put myself on the waiting list since more bags will come in at the end of the month. Meanwhile, I am also looking at a jimmy choo bag, cost wise, they are abt the same.... so i guess final showdown is between paddy and jimmy!
