Hi there ~ I'm sorry I'm just noticing this thread now.
I have a black julianne that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE.
I will never never never never think of getting rid of her.
She's a total keeper. I have to tell you though...I definitely prefer
to wear this bag without the chain. The chain is the same sized chain
for stams (which are larger). In my opinion - it's a little too long for this bag.
It's just one of those classic, beautifully quilted MJ bags.
I was thinking of buying it in the Ivory color but decided against it.
If you can get one in the $550-$600 range then that is pretty much they were marked down to as the final price.
I highly recommend this bag. It actually worked out for me b/c I needed a black chain for another bag that I have.
