Your wish is my command... As you can see, it's a bit slouchier than Cristobal leather.

lol! you follow me on instagram huh?
I'm just here for a bit to see if someone bought the basketball Cityback, and if more people bought Citybacks in general. I still don't have money to buy one so I'm just vicariously enjoying other's purchases.
[emoji445][emoji444]one day my H will come...[emoji445][emoji445][emoji6] Whatever the reasons and circumstances, I always enjoy your contributions... and I’m sure I’m not the only one!
I got my first Cityback in Cristobal almost exactly two years ago, and it has held up very nicely with barely any slouching at all. The Maurice leather is much, much slouchier.
It's quite slouchy indeed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. You're sweet.

Does this mean you’re going to vanish again like Brigadoon? [emoji352][emoji352][emoji352]
I won't be posting as much as before but I'll check daily
. I'm an OG after all.Thank you for the description of the leather. I'm very curious about Maurice now and I can't wait to see the Steve Light in Maurice and Togo. Will be a hard choice I'm sure. Good to know that the Cityback is available in Maurice. I declined two Citybacks in Cristobal because the veining was just too noticeable in such a smooth surface. I don't mind light veining for Togo, Clemence and Negonda but I guess when I see very smooth leather, I want it to be flawless.
Here are a few more photos of the SaD Light. Sorry that they are relatively quick photos. As you can see from the first two photos and last three photos, the lighting makes a big difference and the colour brightens up quite a bit when the light is at certain angles. It's even brighter in direct sunlight. Maybe if the sun ever returns, I'll get some sunlight photos.
An interesting detail is shown in the photo of the briefcase's bottom where there is a seam for a two piece construction for the front/bottom/back/flap.

I just saw these boots on the UK website. I tried them last Saturday. Unfortunately I have to post the online photos because of the photo policy at my local shop. They are absolutely gorgeous and fit like a glove. The construction is immaculate, the leather is as smooth as a baby's bottom and the pair I tried were flawless. If you like harness styled boots with interesting hardware, then you'll love these.
Sadly I found the toe shape/alignment a bit weird on the size 39 boots so I passed on them. Damn small feet. The larger sized boots didn't exhibit the weird alignment.

Absolutely beautiful! It’s hard to tell from the shots, but is there an internal pocket, or just the single compartment?
I really like this as a modernisation of the SAD and it’s well and truly on my list in Togo. Do you have any idea on other available colours? I’ve seen noir on the website.
There is a flat slip pocket on the inside back. It's large enough to fit a magazine or perhaps a file folder but not a very long and/or thick one. It's not terribly convenient like the external back slip pocket on the standard SaD models. However, having an external back pocket would make it too much like the other SaD models as well as add bulk/weight to the briefcase. I forgot to weigh the briefcase. I'll do that tonight and report back.
My local shop received three models/colours: Bleu Nuit Togo, Black Epsom (relatively shiny unlike their more matte SLGs) and Burgundy Epsom (which I didn't look at because it wasn't a colour I was interested in). The SaD Light that was on the UK website is different (it seems to be gone now). It was Black Epsom, had brushed palladium hardware and an Epsom leather insert on the clasp. The Black Epsom one I saw in person has standard shiny palladium hardware. So far I haven't seen the briefcase on other websites (Japan, Australia, US).
After stalking this forum for a long time (and drooling over your gorgeous bags), I finally gave in yesterday and got my first orange box. Thanks for letting me share guys!
