Ta dah!

Thanks Mo, thanks Elendil, and to everyone for your kind comments. She really is a lovely thing and the quality, as always is just outstanding. The leather feels really sturdy and strong and although I will treat her well, I don't think I will have to baby her too much after a serious dose of Collonil! The camo pattern is really subtle, I know there have been issues with the depth and intensity of some of the Midnight camo pieces, mine is subtle but you can certainly see it. I love the versatility of it and that you can wear it so many ways. All in all, I'm thrilled and now I'm off to nail myself to the sofa!
 
Can I just add, she was bought from the Shepton Mallet Factory shop and the S.A. couldn't have been more helpful. It was a pleasure to shop there, he answered all of my questions and was so helpful and polite. 10/10 all round!
 
Wow! This is a very very nice color for a cara! haven't seen it before!

Could you please add some modelling pics? Am really curious about how it looks when wearing it :smile: I have big problems deciding between a regular or large cara (I know the large ones are discontiuned).
 
Hi ladies, thanks again for your lovely comments. I will post a modelling shot as soon as I can, I haven't got a full length mirror in the house so it'll be a photo of the bag, my body minus head and legs but for your info, I'm 5' 5" and a size 10 ! I will endeavour to get as much body/legs in as possible! I'll have a go later on! Just adding to what Taimi has said, I haven't come across this kind of leather before, Skater has described it in an earlier post. It is amazingly soft and pliable and if I didn't know how durable it was I would be quite worried as I don't intend to 'baby' this bag too much, that's not the reason I bought it, if or were ostrich then yes, that's a whole different story. But everyone's advice was really positive on the goat leather, I'm thrilled with its look and feel, soft yet really durable.

I'm really pleased with the size of the bag. When I first got it out of the box, I had a moment of OMG it's huge but I'm getting used to her now and really feel it's a really practical size. Incidentally, I've got the straps attached to the two D rings at the top of the bag which I assume will be the shoulder strap adaption. I found the bag sort of sagged back, away from my back with the straps attached to the centre ring, if any of that makes any sense, I found its just a 'neater' fit.
