oh thank you Luv All, so many of us are curious about it IRL. please let us know what you load it up with too. one concern was the suede, gathering lint and fibers. a description of the seude would be helpful too. is it smooth, rough? or is it more like a nubuck? thanks!!

I almost got the Francis in the past but I thought it actually had too many pockets - lol. I am pretty picky I guess!! The reason I haven't sprung for the Kate is because of the pocketing. I don't need so many tiny pockets - I really need bigger outside pockets like the Belle and Jane. =)
So far I am liking the Belle and it is definitely growing on me!
Ruby Mayfair arrived!! It is gorgeous. Ruby is a dark red and is similar to the oxblood color that was out the year before last. The suede and dark leather details make it special. Inside is dark brown.
It is shaped like the Tess - it is a Speedy satchel shape. Not flat. The outside pockets are huge.
Someone mentioned naked zippers on one of the new bags. This zipper is naked too - no tabs or tassels. I prefer the clean look for this bag. It works.
The outside pockets are huge, which I love. Easy to get a hand in and out.
In short, the color is stunning and perfect if you like dark reds. It is not rust-like at all. It is a dark red with brown undertone, but not rusty or orangey.

It is pretty standard suede, like you would find on a shoe. It is medium - not rough but not super fine. I am a suede fan, so I love it, especially in a dark color.
Wow this is a great review and a beautiful bag. Thanks for sharing such detail. Love this color too!
Oh Thank you so much Luv all, these are fabulous pics, I think we all had the impression this was flat, now we know the real thing. I am so happy you love it, congrats and wear her in good health. please do post loaded up and modeling shots. great news about the pockets. are the snaps easy to use? thanks again. best pics!!
one more question Luv all, in the shot showing the end of the bag, are the seams bedford or is it trimmed with leather? not sure what I am viewing. thanks
I know the size is close to the Baby Jane, do you have a BJ for a comparison pic? I can't wait for it to come out in the other colors since I don't really do red. Also hope Nordstrom eventually gets it on their site. It's very beautiful, congrats.
Hi all,
Will try to answer all questions here...
Revised height is 10"...The 11" height is for the suede flaps, but they stick up higher than the usable space of the bag. The usable space is 10" high.
Suestua, this bag is MUCH larger than Baby Jane. It is a very large satchel, more sized like the Tess. I am 99% sure this is the Tess with some modifications. I will try to get some comparison shots later with other size bags and show it loaded up.
It is much too Fall/Winterish for me to carry in July, but I will likely give her a whirl tomorrow and then store away for September.
Sorry, I don't do mod shots. Will try to post some comparison pics.
Raven, the piping on the edges is leather. The snaps seem easy to open/snap closed.
One other note...the hardware has changed. It is lighter in weight. No idea if this means change in quality or if they are just trying to lighten the bag weight. We shall see.
Re: color, in the sunlight, it looks like a true burgundy. Reminds me of a good glass of wine. The camera flash brings out rusty tones, but they are not apparent to the naked eye. This is a color that I would have called Bordeaux, so I wonder what the Bordeaux color will be like.

Shaka, It seems larger than Britt. Will try to get some compare pics. One thing that I prefer over Britt: easier to get into on the top. Much wider opening.
Same formal satchel style as Britt.
