Do you think it's because of the distressed look? Maybe they don't know it's supposed to be this way? :shrugs:

What I think is weird is that it got the lowest rating, but the price is pretty steep!

I asked the seller out of curiosity and got this response when I said I was confused about it being rated so low yet described as excellent:
Hi there,

Sorry for the confusion. This bag has a distressed/worn "look" to it but overall it's in excellent condition. No tears, stains, odors or anything.

I think they're just not familiar with SP...or their own rating system?

So I was the happy owner of an Almond Siouxsie for about 5 minutes, but wasn't able to keep it :cry:
I've always been drawn to the almond color - even after I scored the black hobo - and this was the perfect opportunity to check out the color to see once & for all if I made the right choice sticking w/the black rather than trading it for the almond (which was the original "plan"). Now I know - I made the right choice!

I love the almond color, but not as much as the black. It's a very pretty color, but the leather's not quite as soft as the black & there's something about the silver hardware - esp combined w/black leather! - that makes my heart go pitter-patter! That's not to say I wouldn't turn down the chance to own an almond hobo (or another siouxsie!) in addition to the black, but if I could only have one, I'm very happy that the one I have is black.

As for the Siouxsie - I dipped into my Camile fund to buy the bag thinking I still had a little bit of time to replenish it. 2 days before it got here, I got a phone call that my bag's come in!! While I really LIKE the Siouxsie a lot, I LOVE the Camile, and since the stores are only getting ONE each, it's not really a bag I can sit on and wait for and get later on. So sadly for me, Siouxsie & I parted ways (for now!), but it's on it's way to merry PFer who I think is rather excited to be joining The Sweet Punk Club!!

One thing I will mention, I found the Siouxsie to be VERY heavy - it's way heavier than the Hobo. The strap wasn't awkward however, as I've previously read - it's actually a pretty comfortable shoulder strap which I think helps absorb some of the bag's weight. I hope that some day down the road, I'll have the chance once again to buy this bag -- if it had been any other time of the year, the bag would have been staying with me for the immediate future!!

here's a pic I snapped of it - I'll let it's new owner do a full on reveal w/LOTS more pics!;)

thanks for the review jj! I was curious about what you thought about the souixsie.... i totally understand why you had to part ways with it because of the Camille. Hopefully one day the almond will make its way back to you. I think it's a lovely color and goes well with the gold hardware but you're right, nothing beats the black sp with the silver studs.

:wtf: Looks like someone's trying to cash in on the recent Sweet Punk craze!! Considering the last one sold for <$100 (and that was the larger size, if I remember correctly!), I think this seller is living in a fantasy world!

I'm not certain, but I don't think this bag even retailed for $675 (according the reference section, the larger size retailed for $695 - the smaller (medium) HAD to be more than $20 less!)
