I have the Jasmin and my sisters dont really understand why i got that bag of all others, but they just dont get it. I love the red epi in that particular style. I dont think it looks fake and honestly, i dont care what they think. I've gotten compliments from men (gay) and women. You mention that it was was roomy enough for all your things and that you like the way it looks. It's worth keeping, because it's a great bag and you'll find some use for it!!
