Just a note: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Elderberry (Purple) color in this bag. However, I was very surprised when I went to Nordies and had a chance to see and feel this bag. The color was stunning but the leather was significantly different from all previous seasons of the Faridah (or any of the MBMJ turnlock bags) Its much thinner and lighter. Now that may or may not be a good/bad thing...Im not sure, but all in all, its definitely a surprise and a departure from previous season's leather.

Afterthought: I guess if you are wanting a lighter bag, the new season's Faridah is def the way to go. If you are lusting after the thick, chewy leathers that comprised the MBMJ turnlock styles (including the Faridah) from past seasons, then this is not the best option.

Just my 2.9 shillings!
