Funny you posted this comment, Restricter....
I heard the same negativity regarding the Mirage before it came out....how it was too expensive for just a speedy, etc, etc...but when it actually came out, and people saw it IRL, they changed their minds.....I like the Rubis, I think once the patina sets in, like a deep honey color, it will look fabulous against the red !!!! I am looking for a tote similar to the now d/c'd Cabas Alto, and this is similar.....so I'm reserving all judgement until I see it in person. Not too crazy about the price, but we'll see.......
