I finally got the Ace unwrapped. What an outstanding bag. I thought it was going to be much bigger by the measurements but it is a perfect size and is lightweight. The bordeaux color is burnished and the ends are pebble with the sides being smooth glovetanned. The interior is red leather. I don't know what color the orange is? I read up on the Ace here on TPF after ordering it and it seems that people didn't like that the opening was so small and I can see that. But the positives of this bag outweigh that IMO. I like that the long strap attaches on the ends rather than opposite sides like so many of the newer bags. This keeps balance better. I know many like their Aces and I can see why. Love that this one is so unique.
The Dreamer tote has two small dents on the back but I think I can live with them. If the price drops below the price I paid by the end of the year then maybe I will order another and send this one back but maybe not. It is a nice big bag to carry.
More pics.
