I like the Sarah in damier or mono. In the zippy, I love vernis. I have the framboise zippy and it's gorgeous. My daughter has the mono zippy and it's gorgeous too. If I had to pick, I'm partial to the zippy. I don't love the newer style of the Sarah with the slots on the outside flap because I've seen older ones where the flap has started to curl a bit and doesn't lie perfectly flat with cards right underneath it. Love the zippy.
