Thank you! That is very kind of you. I wouldnt be surprised if one pops up at the outlet some day even tho it mostly sold out by the end of the season. I only saw it in only one of the 4 NYC stores and that was at 5th Ave where I tried it on. The next time I was there, it had sold. I only see it in 4 cws on the website now and I have so many leather totes that I would prefer it in a more unusual color.
Do share which LC style and color are you eyeing next?

I saw a Mimosa on sale online today by a retailer who cannot ship LC to the US. If you know someone who can accept a package in Europe for you, and are willing to go to the trouble and shipping expense, PM me and I’ll pass along details.
Saw both of these at Gallery Lafayette on Friday and can’t get them out of my mind.... still don’t know which one I like most - the blue Cuir with butterfly is so pretty and the grey 3D is so distinctive with the blue/green stripes accent....
Tough choice. I like the butterfly cuir but the dusty turquoise is a tad challenging for me to pair with my wardrobe. I feel the grey 3D is an interesting neutral and the accent can be readily removed should you be pairing this bag with other colors. I feel the grey 3D goes with more.
I'm more of a stripes than a butterfly person, so I'd go with the 3D! I love the color combo on it!
Considering getting a SSH in Dahlia (gorgeous color!) + a scarf to jazz it up if my family can afford a trip to Europe together (and that's not a guarantee, but I could save ~40% if we do go so I've been planning anyway!) I've been wanting a SSH/small Neo/LE but this season's options don't excite me compared to last year's. So which scarf do you think jazzes up the dahlia best? 
PS planning to tie the scarf like this blogger does!

Fingers crossed for your vacay!
I like the matchy Eiffel Tower scarf in lower left.
I recall you have a couple of Cuirs already. Why not give the 3D tote a chance?
You got good memory! I have 2 Cuir indeed - camel and Arizona. That was my thought too, but I am debating whether the 3D tote is too big, and whether I am comfortable with the wide opening.
The grey is definitely more neutral and exactly like what you said - I can pair it with other colors if needed. The cuir is actually more dusty blue to my eye - it will go with blue tones only but I own a lot of blue jeans also!
The color combo is what stopped me really. It was so nicely done!
The debate in my head continue.... leaning slightly to the grey 3D but she is double the price of the cuir also. So I better make sure I love it....
After trying on the Amazone and the Mademoiselle numerous times, I think the small Mademoiselle fits my needs better in terms of space.
I can't seem to decide on the color though. Khaki is my favourite kind of green but I'm partial to gold hardware. Khaki seems versatile enough to provide a dose of color to my wardrobe of predominantly whites, blacks, grays, and navy. This year, I started to experiment with orange and red outfits and Khaki seems to be able to work with these colors too. I do have my black Madeline to fall back on. The thing is, I do wear khaki pants and tops, but never had a khaki colored bag before. I also really like the khaki small cuir and considering it too.
The gray has my preferred silver hardware and is also a neutral. I keep coming back to @Cosmopolitan 's beautiful gray Mlle. It just feels like a staple classic that won't go wrong.
Suggestions are most welcome. Thank you all, in advance.

They are both beautiful but, while this sounds ultra picky, I’ve just drawn the line on gold hardware and won’t buy it. I know hardware color doesn’t matter to some these days but it does to me. So I’d vote for the gray Mademoiselle, and NOT just because I own it lol. I own numerous gray bags now and it’s made me realize what a fantastic neutral gray is. Gray goes with nearly everything, and to me it’s acceptable as a hot-weather substitute when a black bag wouldn’t seem appropriate. I say all this as a HUGE fan of khaki/olive green. I have so much olive green in my wardrobe—tops, cardigans, light jacket, heavier coat. For me sometimes a khaki bag on top of khaki clothes would seem too matchy, but a gray bag works nicely. Plus I feel that many LC khaki bags read more brown than as olive green as I would like.

I don't think you are being picky at all. I think its more of knowing your preference and what works. My favourite LC hardware is gunmetal/bronze (LP), followed by silver. I predominantly accesssorise with only silver jewelry and only started wearing a gold+white gold bracelet that my mum gave me. I am slightly more open to gold now but in the Mlle, there is a lot of hardware and somehow, I wonder if it is too much for my own comfort zone. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It really helps. Appreciate your time. [emoji257]
I had just purchased the small cuir in Pebble and it is such a gorgeous neutral.
