Good for you! I'm quite excited about this tote because it retails for $225 and is Outlet Only, but IMHO the leather quality is as good as any FP style. Frankly, I feel that it's even more "upscale" (I'm using that term loosely, haha), than the FP line of totes, like the Market Tote or Taxi Tote. Of course it doesn't have the fancy, decorative hardware, like partial chain handles or kisslock closures, etc., -- perfect example of "Less is More".
BTW, my purchase of the Keith Haring Tote was my intro to this Hudson Tote...they're the same bag (minus the KH illustration on the front, of course)
Wait till you get a whiff of that pure unlined leather scent -- just call me a Fresh Leather Perv!!
It's not clear to me if the Outlets have all the colors in stock -- I got mine from the FOS...not sure if SEWDimples went into her Outlet, but her SA had to order it for her.
