It is absolutely beautiful on you AH!! Congratulations! And I agree with the others that your new Birkin is in Swift based on the photos and your observation that it's not that stiff.
the beauty of swift over box is the saturation. the orange of this bag is like a juicy perfect tangerine. Orange in box has a lot more yellow in it--itsa trifle washed out in the same way that blue jean in box is not as rich as in swift and other textured leathers. I think she hit the jackpot
Oy vei, aren't you happy that you went? It is beautiful and I just love the size for the color. I myself went from 35's to 30 and can't get enough of my 30 lately! Simply gorgeous, Congratulations!
