I'm happy to report that the square Albion from Saks came before Valentine's Day.
The bag is not perfect.There is some tiny scratches on the back of the strap but I dont want to go through the return process and wait another week or two.
The bag is very structured, almost makes plastic like sound, just like some Mansur Gavriel bucket bags. But since it's a small bag (23cm x 23cm), I like how structures it is. The color is very light so I can see myself being careful when carrying it. The tag attached to the bag recommends spraying leather pretection before using it.

I decide to keep it. Just used once so far.
Beautiful bag! If you are able, show us some modeling pics. And small scratches on the strap will never be noticed.
 
It's lovely. Enjoy. ^^^^^^

Very nice!!

Thanks guys!

I was really concerned about the light color but still decide to use it as a small daily bag to prevent myself carrying too many stuff. :p

I quickly asked my boyfriend to take a picture... His shooting skill is so poor so I don't think the picture does justice. FYI, I am 5''5.

Maybe I should just wear whatever Kate Hudson was wearing...:D:D
The bag seems to be a little bigger than what Kate was carrying, probably due to the light color. But they should be the same size.

Love the bag on you!!
 
Out of interest, for those that have had their bags a while, how is the leather on the Albion totes holding up?
I just bought a black albion tote that is a smooth leather but I worry about how it ages and wears. I saw a review on one done a while back and there was a couple of scratches that looked almost white on a black bag. I won't keep it if it shows wear really badly/obviously.

I've only had mine a month, but I conditioned it and am not easy on my bags and don't have any scratches yet. That being said, the wear is part of the character of this type of leather. I really like mine, but if that's not the aesthetic you're going for, you may want to go for something else.
 
I do not mind a bit of wear (I own several Mansur Gavriel bags and that is their main feature that they scratch and wear) but the images I had seen was that the scratches revealed a white colour underneath. If the scratches stay the colour of the bag (I got black) and blend to create a worn look, I'm fine with that. I just don't want a black bag that is riddled with stand out white scratches as time goes on is all.
