Agreed! Looks great on you. I also have a HAC-A-DOS and a Sac A Depeches in Barenia. I also like the lived in look you get - scratches can be easily rubbed out with your fingers and the color gets richer over time. I've also found that this leather does well with water. I've been caught in the rain and, while the leather gets very dark when wet, it has always dried out quickly with no visible damage at all. These are the bags I really don't worry about and just take them everywhere as I generally use them in casual situations so don't mind if they have a "Jane Birkin" lived-in look.
