Deep breath - my first full-price, retail bag purchase (and the most I've spent on a bag!) is the Blade in pebbled gray leather (first picture). I love the gray/gold combo, that it can look cool and relaxed crossbody (second picture - it falls a bit lower on me), but also ladylike when the strap is shortened (third picture), and that the pebbled leather is durable.
Honest opinions please. I've never paid this much for a bag before, but absolutely fell in love with this bag and then pulled the trigger when I learned that the Blade is being discontinued (the horror!) and that the pebbled leather version is quite rare. But if it falls flat for other people (or a better casual/chic alternative springs to mind), I want to know while I still have time to return it. Of course, if you love it I'd like to hear that too!
TIA!
