Yay!!! Just got my large goatskin black pandora with silver hardware!
Ordered it from lindelepalais.com (thank you buonobi for helping me find this exact bag online!) on Sunday afternoon, it shipped Wednesday, and got to me in NY today (Thursday).
My credit card was rejected a couple times at first but a call to my cc company asking them to approve it cleared it up right away (while they were still on the phone).
The leather is so soft and supple already right out of the box. The quality looks and feels great so far. The black isn't a true black, it's a lighter black. I agree this bag looks best when flat and not too stuffed. I plan on using this bag often for work, travel, and when I'm out with the kids. I just wanted a nice, large, leather bag that is practical and on the stylish side. I contemplated the pepe with gold hw too (which I love!) but thought I should go for something a little more classic. Maybe I'll get a medium in a fun color for my next bag hehehe...
Here are a few okay pictures. I'll post more tomorrow during the day with some natural light!
