Thanks, guys, for all of your honest, great advice.
I've decided on the old ball. I know, nobody really recommended that one (either the new ball or the med. campana which was hugely popular) but for some reason that one I've been wanting for a while. I guess I started this thread to have someone sway my mind and although I did not take your advice, perhaps it means I was that certain about it to myself...
In any event, I ordered it with my SA from Saks for the EGC event. He said that if Bottega participates in the F&F event on 10/24 (he says vendors have a tendency to pull in/out last minute, day of or day before) then he will credit back my card 20% that day. So I get the best of both - the bag early (coming on Saturday, yay) and the discount if it happens on the 24th! I will surely post pics.
P.S. I also need to post pics of my most recent purchase, the accordion satchel in noce which I got from the Columbus Day outlet sale... Thanks guys for all of your support. You are seriously the best.
