^ i LOVE the tahoe!!! in midnight moonlight ombre.
so, Emily Ironi herself of AH wrote me back! she basically said that certain colors of bags which are dyed with vegetable dyes are meant to be enjoyed "naked" (i.e., without protective glazing). this is reasonable, and it just means that you have to be more careful with your bags in terms of moisture, color transfer, etc... so i think i personally will steer clear of the Teal and Vanilla colors because i don't take as good care of my bags as i should.
it was very nice to know that the owners are so involved in their product still.
i can't wait until the sale!
