I do love that leather - am going to wait on it in favor of the lamb for my Hera. Always another wishlist bag, right?!
Thanks for posting! I was out/on my phone when I heard back. All the options are gorgeous, to be sure. If I didn't already have a blue hobo style bag I would be all over that cobalt blue!
My decision sounds so middle of the road, but I think it's going to be a stunning bag: Black lamb with dark gunmetal HW and dark grey lining. I am embracing the idea of fall-winter. In my message back to Marco I mentioned that my mom had a black lamb bag many years ago and I just loved it - she loved it too so I never got that one on loan!
Thinking about your example with a spreadsheet (I am not quite that diligent although I do have a list) I did a bag inventory cross-check to be sure I wasn't doubling up on anything. Unbelievably I do not have a black shoulder bag other than an All Saints one that has a lovely feel to it but terrible skinny straps so it's been in the back of the closet. Putting that one on the for-sale/gift list now. So one in/one out = not too bad for managing the bag museum, er, wardrobe!
