Hi, I can commiserate. I had my heart set on a black patent Sabrina for fall. Then I found out that they were really hard to come by. So I decided to order one of the OP Art Black Sabrinas from Ebay to carry this fall and hold me over till I can find my Black patent. Op Art came today, and turns out--I hate this bag. I don't know why. I have looked at it from every angle. I don't like the size first off--I bought the small and it looks like a doll baby bag, I should definitely have gone with Large. I don't like the fabric. I don't know, i just don't like it and it has yet to grow on me. (even though it is a genuine bag in brand new condition) I'm thinking of just keeping it and giving it to my niece as a XMAS gift. I really wanted to like this bag. I love my other Sabrinas. Anyway, what's wrong with your Ruby Sabrina? Let's chalk this up to different bags for different folks!
