Yup, I think they changed it after seeing the sample. I think the silver hardware is the one that went into full production
So, I spoke with online client services this morning regarding the mismatched hardware pictures for the blue leather/beige canvas Blondie Medium and *they* told me all the ones they could see in the warehouse showed as having gold hardware, but that the Fifth Avenue store in NYC had a few in stock and "maybe they [had] the silver" -- so I told them to go ahead and give that store my information.
A client advisor from that store contacted me and sent through pictures of the bag as pictured with silver hardware and they weren't sure why the online photos are showing gold. There's a brown leather/beige canvas version that comes with both gold and silver hardware but I opted for the navy blue with silver. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to keep it once it arrives, but I just had to see if the style works for me!

Sorry for the double post, but she's here and she fits all my stuff! My only complaints would be the attachments for the leather shoulder strap (some weird push mechanism as opposed to the lobster clasp or dogleash clips the top handle and canvas straps, respectively, use) and the fact that she leans a little bit (but that might be because of how I have my things distributed).
For reference, I carry a wallet, a small pouch (with hand sanitizer, headache medicine, lip balm, and glasses/lens wipes), my phone (using my portable charger as a substitute), a small umbrella, and my Nintendo Switch.

Another anomaly
When the light green leather Med was launched it had the studded web/reverse leather - then it was removed, now, no studs
It's like a 'Spot the Difference' contest
Just sloppy IMO!!!

I think the studded strap is kind of gaudy so I'm okay with the "regular" web strap. =XAnother anomaly

Well me too (I already have a GUCCI-studded one in plain black anyway and am probably going to wear it as a belt) but it's still 2 mistakes out of 2 bags between sample production and going live.
Still not sure about the red/blue web-stripe with the green, but I may still take a look.
