Hi.. I own this bag in noce, it is from fall '06,slightly stiff with kind of embroidery on top, gold hardware, 2 adjustable top handles, and 1 center zip compartment, and 2 open ones..I loved this bag when i got it , but my tastes are going more towards the slouchier, napa venetas which are worn on the shoulders..What do owners think of this bag now,,are you still enjoying it? do you ever wear it on your shoulder or hand held like the montaigne.. I GET INCREDIBLE COMPLIMENTS ON THIS BAG..at first I thought it was so beautiful I was afraid to wear it ..honestly..love the color..but would you buy a large noce veneta too for that softer look?
