Thanks debpie, Sley16, LindaP, TaraPep!

LindaP I also love the leather on it, it's very textured and I'm normally not that into super glossy leather but it really makes the bag IMO. I also love the the chameleon color too.

I know this pic isn't the greatest I took it while shopping and got lazy holding everything while waiting on someone trying clothes. I just wanted to show the slouch on the bag after a week of use. I'm very impressed with the quality of the leather on this bag. It's very smooshy and still looks amazing the only wear it shows is that it's broken in, not a scuff mark or scratch in sight.

Received the bag today (the last one left at MOB). Unfortunately, the color was way off - instead of a nice, soft gray it was more of a murky, rotgut brown (horrible color). I've seen other bags in cement at department stores but this one did not remotely resemble that color. Wish it had resembled the rich gray shown in kkiimm's photos. So I ended up sending it back. Barb told me that the color is supposed to be a brownish-gray, but I guess the gray part was incognito. So disappointed.

Sorry Ambereyes, that it didn't work out for you. I thought mine was too grey when I first received it as I was expecting the taupey brown, but the color grew on me. KKIIMM captured the color pretty well, a dark grey with interesting variations. It didn't hurt that I found a pair of Born shoes that complement it. Hope you find another Cupid.

Awww that's a bummer! It makes me smile though because when I got my cement Mac I wanted it to be more brown. :D

Sorry to hear it didn't live up to your expectations Ambereyes. Did you otherwise like the bag? Will you continue to search for a Cupid? I'm still waiting for mine and am hoping it's more grey than brown.

Amber, so sorry it didn't work out! As far as the style, weight, handles... What was your opinion of the bag?

Thanks everyone. Actually, I found this bag a bit heavy (lately I've been carrying my MZ Wallace bags and they are the lightest I've ever used, so in comparison, the cupid was heavy). Although I love the shape, I don't think I'll consider getting this bag again unless they can lighten it up. I am attaching photos of the bag - the color shown is actually nicer than IRL. If you are looking for a cement that is more brown than gray, this one could be an option.

Ohhhh I love that it's more brown toned!! This is a cement that would end up as a keeper for me, as far as I can tell.

Aw, I wish it was what you were looking for. As soon as I got the tissue off mine, I knew I had to keep it. It reminds me of the youth distressed grey that was once in the sample sales (though I never got a bag in that color). I love how it looks different in different lights (ie under office lighting or outside). I definitely think it's more warm than cool toned.
