My mom surprised me with this gorgeous Birkin! I love the color--it is thick and rich with taupe-ish coffee color. I sadly read the "worst color" thread and almost cried when I learned that this deep lovely color-- that is perfect with my "drab" wardrobe of black, brown, olive, navy and white-- is disliked by many. If I weren't a newbie, I probably wouldn't be hurt. Big Baby! Puff the hedgie loved it!
