Thanks for posting pics of this gorgeous bag! I've been debating a purchase for it myself; that auction has been on my "watching" list. It looks great! But I understand the concern with the leather. I don't mind lightweight, but am concerned about durability. For instance, my FIG studded MAB is lightweight but durable. But the new DG that came on my Benji's wallet seemed pretty fragile. I'm curious to see how this leather compares....
