I ordered late Friday afternoon, around 4pm. In my mail today was my first, official, expensive, designer handbag. I feel like a grown-up! I bought the City in Ink. I own about 95% black handbags and absolutely agree that the ink is beautiful. The leather is very soft almost delicate. Does anyone use their bag every day? I want everyone to see it and am a little afraid if it will hold up. It will grow cobwebs if I only use it for good occasions. Should I treat it with a leather protecter or not? I heard that I should get Apple guard. The woman, who is the buyer for the New York store was very nice. The bag came very nicely packaged. I would definitely recommend them. Jacquee
