He is really amazing.

I don't see myself neglecting the other one, I feel "safer" carrying the black. I'm not carrying the pink one to the city for DSs lessons and those sorts of things.

Of course I say that now..... [emoji6][emoji6][emoji6]

Glad to see I have Twillies that work:

Congrats, BBC!
Pink was never on my radar, but yours look so scrumptious, that it'll be a color to consider from now on
Enjoy it!!!

P.S. Hubby is amazing for surprising you with it

Congrats, Israeli_Flava!!
I just got offered one and passed. Ughh! It's to die for!!!! Lesson learned: when offered a color on your wish list, at least try it on!!! I ended up getting an Etoupe Swift, that I was craving since the last time I saw it and I love it!!
Enjoy it!!!

Here is my B25 in Etoupe Swift.
Couldn't stop thinking about it since I got my beloved grande dame B30 Blue Iris Ostrich. Went to the store to get a rose gold Collier de chien belt with a blue strap to match. Couldn't resist asking what they had and when I saw her again, my heart skipped a beat!

You are so lucky! What a stunningly beautiful bag.
This is my absolute dream combo, but in Togo.
You have brought me hope that I may one have my wish granted,
thank you for sharing :smile:

Thank you! When I went in to ask the SAs how it went with him, we were laughing so hard....14 years living here and that is his *second* time in the store! And he is VERY low key. Fortunately one of the SAs remembered him. [emoji177]

Hello Hon Hon and Israeli Flava

That is so interesting that you say you love Etoupe in SWIFT the best.
I am really intrigued as I've never seen Etoupe Swift, just in the Togo bag I had.
Is it really a dramatically different colour?
Now I look again, the swift etoupe leather does seem possibly a little lighter? (which is good in my opinion - more like GT).
I might broaden my hunt then...
I've just always just been worried about scratches and losing shape with Swift (?) hence the togo preference.

Really appreciate your advice, thank you so much!

don't be afraid of scratches and scuffs, they are you! i love swift, its is plush and accommodating. i agree with you, etoupe might come out lighter than togo. etoupe comes strong as "brown" in clemence and togo (too masculine IMO) and in swift it represents the grey-beige tone very well. and just imagine the natural sag and lines as you use it (sounds like me consulting a derma), age gracefully capitals swift etoupe :heart:

Swift in small bag will not sag especially if you take care not to overload and keep up... love this buttery soft smooth amazing leather! V happy to add to my growing collection and not scared ... just do it! This color looks like whipped mousse in swift and the contrast stitching is icing on the mousse... I mean cake...

You ladies are hilarious!
I love the way you're describing this little darling,
with your "whipped mousse" and "aging gracefully" comments, haha! love it... :biggrin:
You've really got me seriously considering Etoupe in Swift now too.
I popped into the Maison yesterday to see if they had anything I could see first hand,
alas none, but I did get to see lots of other little darlings in swift - very luxe and velvety soft.
My chances have increased dramatically now I've got two options to hunt down,
Thank you so so much for your sound advice and wise words of experience,
really appreciate it! :smile:
