I just do not want to spoil crystal-d's surprise or reveal. She is very excited about the bag!! Also, my pics are not very good....or if I'm honest, they are REALLY bad. 
My friend gave me a new camera for my b-day, and he got a Canon, which is great, but I take even crappier pics than I did with my other one, lol! I never read the instructions on anything, and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong ATM. So we should definitely wait for Crystal's GOOD pics!! 
We found some pics of the new signature hippie earlier: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/wh...-the-upcoming-line-528210-3.html#post13155557 (post 34) but none of a new leather one yet... not sure if there is more info about a leather version...
Awwww Thank hun!!!!!....I cant wail for tomorrow!!!!!! I really want the color to br right, like HOT...lol^^Thanks, sweetie!!
sorry i was late seeing this!!!I got it...FINALLY....Fedex was very late today!!! The color is close to the stock photo which is good, but is perhaps a more reddish pink IRL (tad darker) than I see on my monitors here. My photos are a bit washed out no matter what I do.
Honestly, my feeling is this type of leather works better in the black. It is largely a patterned suede, and the "glazed dot" pattern creates the sparkle on the bag. I think a bit of this is lost with this color as opposed to black. Generally, I don't like black leather that much at all, but as with all styles, I think there are some colors which look better than others...even though I may not like the idea as much.
My main concern is that this SA had my bag gift wrapped. I NEVER do that, but just get it straight from JAX with the original packing because I love the tags intact, and I like having the extra packing paper rather than the boxes since I have a pile of them! Problem is when I get these bags gift wrapped, they seem to ALWAYS get them dirty at JAX!!It's like they drag the bag across a dirty table back and forth....the corners of this bag have a little wear and dirt. Therefore, for my money, I will at least be exchanging this bag for a new one that is left in its original packing. The worst experience I ever had with JAX was with my sunflower Bridgit...the entire back was dirty!!
That said, I have a MAJOR concern with this delicate patterned soft suede-like material. With a light color, this is probably going to be transfer disaster central! I would say a diluted suede/nubuck cleaner will work, but you have to worry about the "glazed dots" from the pattern...you don't want to remove that. The bag is largely this material, so overall, the black is FAR more practical IMO. But since I have enough bags to rotate around, it's not as much of a concern to me. I'll have to carry it on the shoulder, though, away from jeans or dark clothing. That's the downside. You know, something like my peony croc I can just wipe off or use conditioner to remove any transfer....it's more like a patent. This is an extremely porous suede material.
^^Thanks, sweetie!!
, oh i totally understand no biggie, i can't wait for her reveal, and don't say that you always give us such great pics Awwww Thank hun!!!!!....I cant wail for tomorrow!!!!!! I really want the color to br right, like HOT...lol
sooooo.....do you love the color???? or should i just wait for tomorrow?
I compared to my magenta Madison shoulder bag, which is a tiny tad lighter than my magenta Julianne, and the Audrey is almost the same color as the shoulder bag. The suede material comes off as a bit lighter or less saturated than the leather, but if you look at the leather, it's almost identical to the magenta Madison lighter pieces...of course the Madison line has some variances in color and texture! So that gives you a good idea. I think it's a gorgeous color! I prefer this color to the peony, but I'm not sure I'm as sold on it as the black for this style...if that makes sense.
Thanks! I wonder if JAX has the codes since they already told us the colors it comes in... I wonder if they would just give me the color code combination if I asked. Maybe I'll check later to see if they have it. Though, if there aren't assigned codes yet, then there probably aren't pictures yet, which would explain the lack of DD pics.there are no backorder dates for the floral embroidered audrey yet :x so there is no color code even..i'm guessing we would have to wait awhile until the date gets closer and its placed into the system.
just thought i'd update
JAX said svvi (silver/violet) but there's not pic in their database yet because it comes out mid Feb. I'm hoping they get a pic SOON!
You know, I've been sending some pics off the forum, lol!
