I think there is room for both show pieces and classic pieces. But I hear what you are saying. Overall, I wasn't a huge fan of the animal print at first, but they have grown on me.

I particularly like the small steamer bag. I would like that piece with or without the print honestly.
There is no bag that calls my name this fall except for the Sac Plat in cuir Nomade. Although it is gorgeous, I don't think it's large enough for my needs. The other bag that I love is the Christopher PM in Épi... but I already have one in Mono Macassar. It wouldn't be wise to double up!
I look forward to seeing new releases over the next few months!
