Would this bother you for a first Bbag?

I think this is the only bbag I've seen so far with such contrasting colours. That makes it unique. I'll say if you're really in love with the brown, get it! The contrasting handles is really uncommon on bbags! Gives it character!

But but but.. you HAVE to be comfortable.

Wow, that blue is fantastic....not to throw a wrench into things.....

Honestly, I have had two 05 choco bags (City and Twiggy), and I don't remember the contrast being that stark IRL. I personally don't think you can top 05 leather, but, you have to be the one happy with it. I do think 2010 leather is nice, and you may be happiest with a new bag.

I totally agree. The Choco bags I have had have not had such dramatic contrast on the handles....maybe the stiching was replaced?
I have a Choco Day I just checked, and the sticking is a tad bit lighter, but not as much as the one you are looking at.
Could it be the flash, or color distortion from the photo??

It looks llike the handles have darkened a bit and this might emphasise the contrast as the stitching generally won't darken unless very dirty.
