I completely agree. I think it is a bit of a fancier bag, definitely not an everyday bag. And that is exactly why I am going to get it in red. Black and white are basic everyday colors. And granted the bag is beautiful in both colors. But the red is a little more special, just like the style of bag. I have been dying to get the perfect red bag and (hopefully) the red patent ergo is the one. I still need to see a picture of it first and perferably a tPF picture vs. a stock photo. (Because our pictures are always better!)
