I'd love this in black in a textured leather, rather than the box. Do you think it is worth holding out for that or is the box better? I'm also planning on silver hardware. (Yikes, I do need anymore clutches, but this is so cute/edgy, I love it!)
LeeMiller, would you go for an exotic? I saw one in shiny black croc with PH at FSH and it was sensational! Plenty of texture
Lee - JMO but I think this bag lends itself particularly to the smooth leathers. The contrast between the box (or tadelakt) and the angular hardware is part of it's charm. I'd hang out until you've at least seen it in box.
I also think this will be easier to get as evergrain is the only other textured (non-exotic) I can imagine it coming in and that's not offered right now.
