What do you ladies think about this Furla? I have a couple of woven leather BV's but this has a certain less sophisticated look I am liking. Any thoughts? Anybody seen IRL?

I referenced this bag too as I love the look and style. Not liking the price tag however. Maybe if it were on sale but not sure if I would spend that kind of $ on a Furla bag.

I'm stalking it online. I'll be ready to pounce when/should it ever be discounted.
 
A couple of reasons I decided to get it now - this was the last one in the lighter color on Zappos, no tax, free shipping & free returns (if I don't like it in person which I can't imagine). The Furla site was sold out but their price is $100 more plus I would have to pay tax & possibly shipping to buy from them. Macy's has only the darker color so if I did get a coupon or sale price I still wanted the lighter color. I normally only buy sale items but I had two bags that I wasn't as crazy about that I returned so out of pocket was not the full price. If I find a sale before I use the bag, I can still return to Zappos. This is how I justify things in my mind when I WANT a bag, my husband would never listen all the way through that justification. Good luck on a good/great deal!

I understand your justification. My DH wouldn't understand either. Promise me this...POST PICS please!! I'm dying to see what this bag looks like irl and what your overall consensus is on this bag. I am eyeing the darker colored version.

My only Made In Italy Furla was so cheap b/c I waited for a discount and then donated a bag in order to receive a further discount. It was well worth the time and effort. It smells just as intoxicating as my Pradas.
 
Furla doesn't tend to be so cheap. Its pretty pricey in italy, and super pricey in asia. Where are Furlas sold in america? That woven bag is amazing! I've seen cloth bags from furla in that same style. Congrats on the purchase! hope you like it!
 
OK that's just my opinion at this very moment. The pictures do not do justice to this bag.

Zappos shipped overnight, so I got my package today.

Here's some pictures - I'm not really sure what to say only this is an amazing bag. The first thing that struck me was the smell - which is intoxicating! The weaving has real interest and character. I love the color and size is just right. I would love just to stare at this bag every minute of every day! I'm attaching another post with closeup pictures of weaving which is incredible!

Maybe someone knows the answer to one thing I'm wondering about. The nameplate inside appears to have a plastic coating but I can't find an edge to peel off, so it looks scratched definitely not shiny like the rest of the hardware. Is this right?

WHOA!!!!!!!!! I darn near fainted. That is one AMAZING bag! Your closeup shots make me want to jump right into the pic.

Congrats! On the nameplate...upon inspecting your pic, it appears that it's supposed to look that way. ? My only bag does not have a nameplate like that, different model, etc.

How does it feel on the shoulder? Does one strap want to fall off? I would so love to have this bag. The woven leather looks like it has the perfect amount of structure and slouch to make this the everyday "go-to" bag no matter what the season.

It also looks like it can be dressed up or down.
