E-W bays is here! Lots of pics

[salikons]

Hello
I am amased how fast the post is from Uk to Sweden sometimes.
My bags arrived this morning. As I am away off to Stockholm I just had time for a quick look and some pics for you.

I love the black one. It is a true keeper for sure but.....
I haven't made my mind up regarding the pebble one. I Love the softgrain leather and how soft she is, but the color I sometimes like and sometimes don't like. It depends on the light I think. Also I have some thoughts about the silverknob, it is quite large and seems to cut into my arm a little when carried over the shoulder. I guess time will tell. I must use her and then I will see. Now I haven't got time to take her out for a testuse, so it have to be later.

Here they both are

And here are all the e_w collection

Here comes some modellingpics, sorry for the total messup outfit, but I am packing for going away ....

And at last a comparisonpics between the color Pebble in antiqued leather mabel and soft grain e-w. Thought you might like to se the colordifference.

Salikons, that's one mighty nice collection of E/W Bays you've got there!

I think the pebble is lovely, quite a warm colour and great for summer. There is quite a difference between the colour of pebble antiqued leather and the pebble soft grain leather. Still, both are lovely but it's up to you!

Great pics Salikons, they look fab! For what it's worth, I really like the chunky silver hardware on the pebble, but it's got to be comfortable for you. Good idea to try it and see.

I think the pebble colour is pretty and a useful neutral tone which will go with a lot of outfits.

I think they both look lovely on you but if you're not loving the pebble maybe part with it and put the money towards something else.

I love them both Salikons , the pebble is a great colour for Summer.

I just can't made up my mind. The pebble is geourgeous in sunlight, and in brighter light. But looks a little boring in darker light. It is surley staying until I have had time to give it a real testuse for at least two days. That usually helps. But I am leaning towards keeper, even without testuse just because it is such a great color in bright light.

i think they are both fab salikons.. the pebble would be fab for the nice weather!

Great collection there Salikons however if I'm truthful the colour of the pebble E/W does not appeal to me as much as the mabel.

The black on the other hand is gorgrous!!!
I hope you make the descision for yourself and have a nice trip.

I like them both, salikons I actually think that the Pebble would be great for rainy days as the leather should cope well it

But as you said, give it a few days and see how you feel then. I have found that my immediate reaction is usually the right one. If I have to convince myself that I love a bag, it will end up being sold sooner or later.

On the other hand, you have just bought two bags at the same time and I guess it's natural to prefer one over the other.

Lovely colours! You are the queen of E/W bays, Congrats
Take your time to decide, I can see what you mean 'boring' - shame you can't take two bags at the same time to show off the contrast!

I think they look gorgeous Salikons. I've the pebble ledbury with the same hardware so can understand what you mean about it getting in the way. If it's annoying now I don't think it's going to get any better.

Lovely collection of e-w bays, and I do like the pebble colour , but if the hardware really bothers you, it's probably best to let it go

Fantastic Salikons, I particularly love the black one, it is such a brilliant all round handbag and not too heavy to use for extended periods. It's great when you find a style that suits you and fits into your lifestyle so well. Do you still love your full size Bays and when do you use them instead of EW?
