You look stunning Mssw! I too have just discovered the joys of Daria, having bought one yesterday in York, much to my surprise. I had thought that it wouldn't be me, but it is SUCH a scrummy bag and SO easy to wear, totally irresistable. Mine is orange (bright rather than burnt - I wonder is it TOO bright!). I think that your ink is fab. The soft spongey leather may not be for the purists, but I love it. BTW do you think that a VIP liner would work well?
