I just got a black leather large Carly and I love her to death. I was wondering if the leather softens up after a while? It is also kind of heavy, but I want this to be my everyday bag. She is one sexy bag.
Does the leather on the Leather Carly soften up?

LIblue,
You have had this bag since March. Do you carry it often? I want to carry it all the time because I paid a lot for it, and I think it is too "sexy" to leave at the house. I am 5' feet and very curvy, but she looks good on me. She actually makes me look smaller. I sold off some bags I am not carrying to recoup some of the money spent on this bag. I bought her to celebrate a major milesone in my life.

Yes, I use this bag quite often. It's the kind of bag that always looks right. Ok, maybe not with an evening gown but how often do those occasions come up? I am 5'7" and a BBW and I know what you mean-the bag is very complimentary. I am glad you treated yourself to mark a special milestone. I do that too. 
LIblue,
How long have you had this bag? When did the Carly come out? Does the leather lose some of its shine? Has your leather softened up with use?

I purchased my bag in March. I have used it quite often and it still looks great. It has relaxed a bit but I don't think the finish on the leather has changed. My bag was not very shiny to start with. I THINK the Carly line came out during 2006 but if I am wrong someone will correct me.
My leather is not tooo shiny, but it has a nice shine to it. She is a big bag, but the slouch cuts that significantly. I have an 8 year-old son and he almost died moving it at the nail salon for me today.
