I actually think the pink monster is very cute!
The blue of this bag is my favorite color. The leather looks scrumptious. I hope this make this color in other things without a monster. I can understand how some people might like the monsters, but I think the bag would be more versatile without it. I can see getting the keyfob though.
I like pebbled leather, but isn't there going to be anything in a smooth leather, and maybe with a dressier vibe? In the past we've always had different lines that appealed to different tastes and served different lifestyles. If Legacy was too casual for you, there was always Madison.
