I ripped open that box faster than a kid at Christmas! I am beyond thrilled. The leather is like '05 leather, ridiculously soft and smooshy. The color is insanely gorgeous in person. Pics do not do it justice.... I am in love. Thank you misstotty and verty for pursuadeing me to get her. Your wonderful pics convinced me that I could not live w/ out her. BTW, ****** is THE best seller! Thank you!
