I really adore mine, too! I've had it for almost one month in menthe 30 Negonda all leather and I don't know if I'm just coping with not having a B30 and the reality that it might not be the best use of my time and money to stalk a store for the SA Loyalty Journey... but I can say I feel fulfilled by this simple and beautiful little tote I was able to get. I love that you get so much sumptuous high quality saturated Hermes leather for the price. It reminds me of the Picotin in that way, a great amount of luscious leather for the bucks, but in a more "classic" silhouette, and more "finished" with its lining and inner zip pocket, and button closure. I love that I can bring it to work, it looks adorable all small and plain in the bright color I have, or I can make it dressy (or zany) with a Twilly and bag charms. Garden Party is definitely Not Like the Other Tote bags lol. does not come with all the padlocks and clochettes "bells and whistles" of B K or even Picotin or Herbag, but its minimal hardware doesn't detract from its specialness. It's such a thing of simple beauty and I can see it being a workhorse like most sturdy high quality totes.
Here is a pic of when I bought her last month, and then more recently gone ham with a new rodeo pegase addition. less is more, I was just having fun considering a "stable" and ways of tying Twilly bows lol
