When your first choice is green, why don't you wait until it's available? Don't settle in a colour which is your 2nd choice.
I wouldn’t get this bag instore anymore…. The quality has gone down. Firs of all it doesn’t have a drawstring anymore 2. The bottom of the bag is not leather anymore, its just canvas 3. The bottom of the flap is unfinished leather now. I got mine last week and i’m thinking about returning it.
Where did you purchase this? Unless they redesigned it without the last month, it looks like a fake…
Here is my mini alpin black/black combo purchased from the London boutique at the end of July and it is both finished leather on the inside of the flap, as well as the base.
I got it instore in San Francisco. I actually went to return it for store credit on Saturday and I told them the reason I didn’t want it anymore and they told me that this was how the Alpin Mini will look like from now on. They had a couple of old versions instore but none of them in the color I wanted.
Wow, do they often change the styles so drastically? I agree, the old style seems much nicer.
What color are you interested in? I have a Bergdorfs contact that may be able to do a distance sale. As of late July, they had maroon and grey.
I’m not sure if they change the styles often but I thought it was funny how when i brought up the change, they made it seem like it was for the better and customers were complaining about the bottom of the bag being leather and scratching easily which i think is unlikely. They probably just wanted to cut on cost. I wanted the exact same color I got but in the old version. 
hopefully they have that.
hopefully they have that.
I got mine 2 weeks ago from the store directly and it is full leather on the bottom…
