actually the 2nd pic was taken by kim SA in balnyc. the 1st one was the one that i got last thursday. so do you think the first one is more vintagey look? sorry for the word...hahaha
how soft is the one you own now?
if it's soft i'd keep it. it's hard to tell from a photo which one is "better", because i've had dry-not-so-desirable bbags photography really well - so it's not always the best way to judge.
kim @ balny definitely picks out AMAZZZING bags!
