^^ Yeah, I hear you..I don't care for the brass on that type of metallic either. Unfortunately, I just saw it on the list and made a small mental note, but don't know if it's the same style number or not... they are supposed to call me when it's available. I'm not sure I'm going to get it given I have a lot of other metallics just like this (Legacy and Legacy Thompson bags), and I just bought the explosion metallic framed hobo. I will probably get the gray patent because it's way different, so that's honestly why I didn't pay more attention to the metallic with nickel hardware. Also...I have to admit I'm assuming the nickel hardware bag will be the same leather as the photo above, but the list just has abbreviated descriptions and prices (so it looks to be the same at this point, but there are no pics), and that's what I was told. Of course as I say that, we all know how the camel Ashley turned out (no embossed python)!! Anyway, I'll ask tomorrow. Many of the Bleecker St. items are not showing up in Tools of the Trade, so I've been working from the store list to find out what BS items I'm interested in and go from there. I'll PM you when the I get the info.
