I pretty much buy black and brown/tan bags. I just received the saddle from Belk today. I think the saddle is a classic brown and with the silver - WOW! It is a hard combination to find. Even though I really prefer silver hardware/jewelry - I personally like gold with black a bit better. It stands out. Good luck deciding!
I'm similar many brown/tan bags with finally a new black after a hiatus.. Saddle with SHW is unusual, and i def like black with GHW overall.
