My super steal arrived and I am blown away by its color and the glossy and smooth leather. A very rich and dark brown that shifts in different lighting. There may be a slight purplishness to it, if you squint.
Strap is missing, but I already ordered three replacement straps, lol.
Indoors
In the setting sun
Close-up in sunlight. So pretty.
Edit says she's most definitely tinged with purple. My stupid phone is not capable to show it correctly. But yep, purplish brown is lying next to me. Yum.

Thanks! I appreciate the support. I think I just might.I vote to keep it too then, given all the positives you laid out.

Wow, it is glossly. I love that, almost looks like a satin/pearl finish. I've never seen it in this longer size, and like it even more. Congrats!!! It's beyond charming, and perfect with the irreverent Fox.
So glossy it could almost be mistaken for silk to the naked eye. Almost.
I love the shape so much, very hobo-ish. It's like a Pre First-Vélo-Town-Purse
The lining is quite, well, ugly though...lol.
Glad they have been using different and much better materials since. Also, interior is divided into three compartments; front, back and a zippered middle compartment. Never been a fan of that. Oh well, for that price I'll take it, haha.
Interesting interior. Can you post photos for us looky-loos?So glossy it could almost be mistaken for silk to the naked eye. Almost.

Sure

I put my glasses case in the middle thingy. There's still room inside all compartments. But I don't like to overstuff my bags.
Nice. Kinda like the compartments. What color is the CP? Blueberry?Sure

I could do without them, eh whatever.
Yes, it's Blueberry. Every time I take this little guy out, I wish I could find a bag in this color. To me personally it's Bals most beautiful blue. So bright, but not too in your face.
Been a while since I revealed a new purchase, but since I’ve been more active in this forum over the last few weeks & shared that I snatched this up, I wanted to share
Received my 05 F/W grey City today from TRR
Despite their way off rating/description (EXCELLENT with no visible wear –), I’m happy with it
I did reach out to them to raise the issue that this bag is in no means excellent & its obvious wear is VERY visible & they gave me a $50 credit, so it made up for it. Its weird that despite the heavy wear to the exterior, the inside is immaculate (the orig owner must have consistently work it on the shoulder cuz I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shoulder pad as thinned down as this one is!)
This is a color I’ve always wanted — finding my old thread about it while researching this color sealed the deal & convinced me I needed to have it
