Thank you for the modelling pix.
The two satchels are beautiful.
The plum will be great for fall / winter, and your reveal has made me interested in it too! So I look forward to seeing the plum satchel and tote and the rest of the Kristin line when they come to the store.

You mentioned being undecided about the fawn, and I wanted to say that the color of the fawn really suits you. It looks very natural on you in the mod pix. You have to go with what feels right, though, so good luck on your decision.

Wow, that is so kind of you to say. I do love the color of the fawn and the leather look. I'm just stuck on the price of it for what they used materials-wise. But I am def. going to consider, too, what you've said here. Thank you, so much!

This reveal is amazing! I love both bags, but the plum is definitely the more fun and interesting (to me) of the two. If you're not in love with the Fawn, it should go back and make room for something that you are actually in love with, PCE price or not. Congrats!!

I'm not a leather expert, but the fawn bag looks like snakeskin to me and the plum bag looks like ostrich!

To me, the fawn Kristin looks like lizard, and the plum like embossed ostrich. I do not think it is real lizard, cause that kind of exotic leather would make the purse worth much more than 1k.

I think the ostrich flap on the plum is embossed and yes, that would be the "dot spots" where the feathers were pulled, if indeed this were real ostrich leather. And I think the fawn is as another poster was astute to point out, from the LEG of the ostrich and hence, the different appearance....Does this help?


Thanks for the clarification, Prof. And for those mod shots, too. Both bags look lovely on you, so I know the decision will be difficult!

Gorgeous bags! The fawn is a beautiful, timeless bag. The plum is stunning and I can't believe it's only $458! I kept seeing pics of this in the fall thread and just assumed it was way out of my league. Now, maybe not :graucho:. I love the color and all the different textures. Amazing!! Thank you for sharing and I can't believe everything you went through to share these lovlies with us. Enjoy!

Oooh my goodness, what GORGEOUS bags! My my, but you've been busy for a girl who's been on vacation. ;) I LOVE them-- the gorgeously structured shapes, the rich colors and textures of the leather, the nuanced details. They're BEAUTIFUL! Oooh this fall line, it's like one huge temptation. What delectable choices you've made! Congrats! I know you'll wear them well. :worthy:
