I have been in lust with the Borough collection but so far I have the mini and have returned two of the mediums for different reasons. While I love the look of the bag, I just find three zippers a bit too structured for me. So when the soft Borough came along I was so excited and ordered it in Earth. It arrived and while the size is a little bigger than the medium, the leather scrumptious, and the structure and compartments just perfect, something was still mega uneventful for the price. So I'm still searching for the perfect summer bag. Today I was looking and came acrid the Bleecker Pinnacle Studio Tote 30513 in white embossed Croc. The measurements are the same as the woven studio tote in medium but that only comes in blue/black in the US for some crazy reason and the gorgeous woven in Asia but not here so the next best thing is the croc. While pricey, can I get some honest opinions about this bag??? I prefer gold hardware but I'm thinking I might be able to live with the silver in the perfect bag. I don't want to go any bigger in size because I am petite. I do love the inside of this even more than the soft Borough as it's more usable for me. Help please ladies?

I do agree wit you abt the zippers on the B. Way to narrow for me. I would get the soft B.

What do you think of 30513, can I ask. The Soft Boroughs wet just too blah for me. I loved the Napanil, but no hardware and just looked like a bag I might have gotten at a department store.

hmmm should not matter where someone thinks a bag comes from - all that should matter if YOU love it - If you think soft B is blah - it is not love - I love the soft B way better then the B with all them darn narrow zipppers

Partly on topic, though I like the look of my mini Borough, I still wish they wouldn't have made it so tight. I can deal with the 3 zippers because I leave them open, and they help separate items in that tight bag, but now that I have the mini Preston, I appreciate being able to fit everything nicer.

I am trying to sell my mini Borough so I can justify buying a second Preston. So far no luck, oh well, it is a pretty bag in the meantime.

I like the Bleecker better than the Boroughs too, at least from the pictures. Have you actually seen it in person? I cannot decide about the woven versus the croc. I checked the China site for the woven since you mentioned it, and it loks like the crc comes in colors other than white too.

Can they order it for you if the woven is really what you want. Are you using a PCE?

It's a lot to spend IMO if you are settling for second choice.

No, only the Asian market can get the woven. I am a huge croc fan and it's really a gorgeous bag - just a bit of money. I'm actually getting a good discount but it's still a bit. I've wanted a white bag ever since I parted with my last Coach one but simply cannot get the regular Borough to do it for me. I know I will be much happier with the Fall line as the softer leathers are coming back. I just love the look of the semi structured but without the weight and constraints 3 zippers give you. It's like I love to look at it but know it won't work on a daily basis. Just wanted to hear what others thought of the Bleecker Pinacle Embossed Croc Town Tote. I know the size and the layout are perfect - only issues I had are silver hardware but I can live with that, the handles don't turn down which I can learn to live with because they have a little longer drop than the Borough handles making it easier to hold on the arm and they are softer, and lastly the construction is exactly what I know I'll use every day. I can't see getting a Borough and not using the compartments as they take up valuable space you might want to use and are heavy. I'm going to sleep on it but was hoping someone on here might have seen the Town Tote in white and could tell me what they thought. I am actually going to post pics if I can figure it out.
