Is the hardware silver? I kind of expected it to be gunmetal for some reason. I actually still think I will love it regardless of the leather . I kind of like the idea that it starts off a bit stiff to maintain the shape and so it doesn't fall over when put down. In time the leather will likely soften. I did think it would be the same leather as my fringed saddle bag though. That leather is so soft!

That is a good point - maybe they did it stiff on purpose. I like slouchy and soft [emoji4]

Cool bag! I really like the details on the handle. I'm sorry to hear it's not love, but maybe you can find something you love even more!

I kind of already did [emoji4] I bought the chalk Rouge a couple of weeks ago and it is true love. This makes me feel a little better about that.

Already did. It just wasn't for me, as much as I wanted it to be.

So glad you did this post! I was thinking of getting this bag but now hearing that the leather is not the same as the other Nomads I've lost my some of my interest in the bag. I like the fringe look online from the other bags. However, everytime I carry the bags in my store it looks like hay straw.

This bag's style number is 37717 DK NAV which indicates Antique Nickel Hardware and Navy color.

I was trying to figure out the hardware codes recently because I purchased a Brass metallic two tone leather Rhyder at the outlet and I thought that the hardware was gunmetal but it wasn't. It was coded as QB which stands for Black Antique Nickel. The code for gunmetal is GUN.

You can see the difference at the link below:

I think that antique nickel (DK) is not as dark as gunmetal but not as shiny as silver.
