strange, I was just feeling this way, I too have the azur berkeley and havent used it because I was thinking I could just get a speedy and have it be just as nice, then I take the bag out and fall in love with it all over again. Im so scared of the vachetta, but I rotate bags a lot so Im sure mine will stay pale for a while, keep the berkely and know we have special bags, Im sure it will be gorgoeus this summer with white tops .
