Cosmopolitan - what is the difference between the club and the neo, other than the emblem? Sorry if it's obvious and I missed it. TIA

The Pliage Club bags don't have long straps, they have contrasting painted resin and they are constructed of Pliage nylon canvas, not Neo material. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that last point.)

To add to Cosmo's points above, the Club has got a huge internal pocket. The one on the SLH can store my iPad Mini in a case :D The Club can also be folded up like a regular LP

Oh yes! A pic would help...lol. I included a few. This bag is incredibly difficult to photograph true to color. None of these are true, actually. It’s darker than the lightest color and lighter than the middle color. It’s blue with gray undertones.

Congrats on your new Penelope! It's a beautiful colour :D If I didn't have an Indigo Penelope Fantaisie, I would get this! I think your last photo is the truest to the real colour but even then not quite

1st picture is inside the Neo bag from a site & a grey one is my Club bag. I could be wrong but it looks like the the Neo has additional inside lining. For me, it's the choice of design. I really like how the Club looks & its light weight.

I was in NY the last few days and made it in to the Madison and Soho boutiques. Received wonderful and incredibly helpful service in both. There were some great bags on sale, and I was quite tempted by a few. Loved all the rich blues in some of the lines. The turquoise Penelope is particularly stunning if you like such colors. I had no intent to purchase, but in Soho I fell in love with the (Pilot?) blue Penelope. Almost bought the large, but decided on the medium instead, as I already know I love that size. They didn’t have one on display, but the manager hunted around and found one in the cupboard for me. I’ve been looking for the right shade of slate blue forever and this comes pretty close. I also loved the Pilot Blue and Lipstick Roseau Croco totes with the metallic interiors, and the Equestrian print totes. I may have a few more purchases in my near future!

I also got the Mademoiselle line out of my system. They are so so cool but just won’t work for me. Same with Madeline. Love the look but now know I can’t do the styles. Was really glad to be able to inspect them in person.

One funny...while I was at Soho, a little girl, maybe around 5-ish, helped me choose my bag. She was shopping with her mom, and had her own cute little purse. We talked about bags and fireworks! She had great taste! LOL!

This is just gorgeous! I love this bag and this color. Congrats. I've thought about the medium-what do you think as far as weight and carrying it? The handles actually look long in your pics (like you could shoulder carry) but I don't think a medium can fit over the shoulder, right?

Congrats on the Penelope. I think there are at least 7 Pilot Blues across various lines this season and It's inteesting to see this color in different medias and leathers. The Pilot Blue 3D is quite dark to the others.

Thanks! It does get heavy when I load it up. It doesn’t help that I lug my ipad around. Correct - no shoulder carry with the medium. The angle of my pics is deceiving. I looked hard at the tote size, but decided the medium works well for me.

I noticed that! Pilot is pretty different across the lines.
