^I am the opposite...hardware is my dealbreaker, but the lining not so much. I can't do siggy HW or the blue/cream bengaline lining. That said, I would be willing to overlook the blue/cream bengaline if it were inside something like, a say, tomato Beloved!!
Me too!
HW is definitely a dealbreaker for me. The only HW I can't deal with is the new bright gold mixed HW and I am not a huge fan of the old brass, but it looks fab on my wine nikki; I can't imagine that bag with any other HW~ it's so perfect as it is.
I am also weird about certain linings.....
