Thank you for the lovely comments and I am already on the mend so your well wishes are working! Attaching some photos taken after work today when I got home. Unfortunately it gets dark about 5pm these days so I didn't have much to work with lighting-wise. Happy to post a photo of the bag in decent lighting to show yet another facet of the colour if anyone is contemplating getting it but I'm conscious that not everyone wants to see 10 photos of the bag! At work it looked grey-mauve under the lights at my desk- too funny! Again for reference, I'm just over 5'9.
I love your style loubou7!
