Oh, the Navy you own is equally gorgeous! I was deliberating between navy and carmine but went for carmine instead. Like you, I'm really enjoying this bag as well. It's hardy, but is not rigid. That's very important for me. I still prefer some softness to a leather bag. It's just more comfortable carrying it. Since you have the heritage in the burgundy (I think), you do have the best of both worlds. I wish the original clip that came with this carmine was the matching tassels but instead it was the YES clip which is just too trendy for me. Thank goodness LC sells alternative clips.I guess I can't have everything!
