OMG I am a tad obsessed with CH bags at the moment. In the movie Birth with Nicole Kidman (I saw it in the theaters when it came out in 2004) she carries this amazing shoulder tote throughout. I loved that bag when I saw the movie and just rewatched it to see if I could figure out the bag! CH did the entire wardrobe so I'm guessing the bag was a one-off for the film (I failed to find anything like it online).
It actually led me to get a Ferragamo tote in Dec. that to me had a similar vibe.... And I'm looking hungrily at the new CH bags coming out in spring in light suede colors......
Oh right, you asked a question! I also like the darker one better.
