Wow- both are stunning! I'm your twin/soul sister. This is my favorite bbag ever made and I have some back ups as well, including some that are brand new / never used. (I know) but it's nice to know that when my first borns wear down I'll always have the pristine ones for special occasions.Yes, it was the one from VC... a little too expensive for sure, but I got a little too tired of waiting for a palatable price tbh.
Here's a closer comparison of the leather:

The Second is super dreamy -- the leather is sooo soft.
The Third is rougher and tougher, like I wouldn't be as scared to snag it on something.
For the last 5 years I've almost only used canvas tote bags as my handbag, so it's fun to use a "real" handbag on a daily basis again!
