I'm waiting for my possible fake one --double 
You gotta take your bag out for a spin. I'm guessing you're saving it for a more special occasion? I do that sometimes too with new and expensive bags, but do take it out! You must!!!!!!!! And let me know how that baby drives *chuckle* This bag keeps on dancing around in my brain................................................
I got my putty Stam from the MJ boutique a couple of weeks ago. I was told I was too far down the list to get black, so I went with the putty. Now the other MJ store I'm wait-listed at says I will for sure get a black. Here are pics of the putty--now I have to decide whether to keep this gorgeous bag or keep the black which I'm sure will be spectacular too. Sadly, I can only afford to keep one. I'm leaning toward black but this bag is so pretty--I'm going nuts trying to decide...

I prefer the putty to the original taupe Stam because I like the smooth calf better than the icy leather. Of course, I don't have a taupe Stam and probably would never be able to find one as they are long gone. The new putty color is what I consider a true taupe--it's very neutral and goes well with most colors.
At this moment I'm leaning toward keeping the black because it will be easier to maintain and I will be able to carry it without worrying about where I set it, etc. I hate to part with a bag I really love, but I simply don't have the $$$$$ to keep both. Too many other expenses are getting in the way of my bag obsession!
I'll try soon ..heheh...can you tell me the measurement of the bag?teddys3bears said:
I was surprised and pleased to see that a fellow purseblogger bought my Stam. I was so sad listing it and packing it up. Somehow, it makes me feel better knowing it's going to a home where it will be truly appreciated. Most people don't understand how the purse-obsessed feel when parting with a beautiful bag.
And speaking of people not understanding...When I shipped the bag I had to declare the value to get insurance. When I said I needed insurance for $1400, the postal employee (a man) asked what was in the box. I was embarrassed, but truthful. When I told him it was a handbag he practically shouted, "Who buys a $1400 handbag?"
Of course, he was loud enough that everyone in the post office turned to look at me, just in time to see my cheeks turn a vivid red. Obviously, nobody in line could relate. The guy went on and on asking where you find a $1400 bag, what makes it so special (does it have diamonds?), etc. Definitely embarrassing!
After that, I'm so glad I can turn to the purse forum to connect with people who understand what's special about a $1400 bag!
