I finally scored the CH Hyde Park Messenger in the Olive shade at the outlet. I went yesterday and they already had 50% off for Black Friday. It came up to $214 but I had the Outlet Green Card for $50 off a purchase over $250 so I also got a pewter leather wristlet to bump it up to $250, so in the end I got both items for $200!
I was also going back and forth between the Woodbury Tan and the Aubergine too because they are also gorgeous colours but settled on the olive because I don't have any bags in that colour. The leather is so buttery and very well made. The braided handle is substantial and comfortable to hold so I will be wearing the bag as both messenger and hand-held. I give a big thumbs up for this bag.
