REVEAL OF THE YELLOW CUPID FROM EBAGS..... Pix first, then thoughts.

First I must say that I'm absolutely shocked at how much I love the color. Even better IRL. The leather is great, soft yet sturdy and not cheap feeling at all.

2nd, as a non-fan of GHW (even lghw), I'm very impressed at how toned down and neutral this gold is. Still not a fan and would rather it be silver, but not enough of an issue to change my mind on the bag.

3rd. Straps and pockets. I do miss the back pocket, but the front and sides will suffice. If you've never had a Cupid then you're lucky bc you wont miss it, but I love my external pockets. Why'd they remove that one anyway? It's not like it made space for something else. Now the handles. This one has me baffled. Everything else about this Cupid is the same as the pink one I got from the OSS, except that the handles are too short to even consider wearing over my shoulder. See 3rd pic. I put a regular 16.9 oz dasani bottle against the handles for perspective since I don't have a tape measure handy. My pink Cupid handles are at least 3 inches longer, maybe more.

Bottom line, my only issue is handle drop which I'll play around with for a few days but 99.9% sure it's a keeper!

Wow! She's beautiful! The color is so striking. We need an inside shot. I bet the polka dots look killer against the leather! Congrats!

Woa she's cute! Such a nice pop of color. The leather looks distressed? (yum!)

2nd thoughts and daytime pics-- I'm 100% keeping her. Spoke too soon on the handles. Should have never been a doubter. As soon as I put my stuff in, it hung perfectly from my shoulder. I love the dot lining with the yellow. Generally I'm indifferent toward it. The leather is nicely distressed and I'm so glad I got it.

The leather look so wonderfully thick and smooshy. Dang it. Now I gotta go look at Cupids...just when my wish list was mercifully empty at the moment. :p

I love it, I love it, I love it! I really like the leather. It looks like it will break in really nicely. The bright green, pink and orange while all look amazing, look too structured for me. But this one is a :ps:. Congrats on an incredibly beautiful Cupid!
