sherrisuzzanne - Since you have all of them, can you tell me if the leather on the Expresso Lizard is thick as the black? The leather on the black is substantial and beautiful - it will last way past my lifetime. The reason I ask is that on air it looks like it is more flexible (the snake does also) than the black. I don't mean that it looks like it isn't as well made, just wondering if it will scrunch (for lack of a better word) more so that it has the appearance of looking a little bit less bulky
Debating whether I should order the Expresso to see which one I like best.

Yes it is as thick but it is much more scrunchable than say, the black or the blush, it is pre-softened, but not soft enough to puddle into a non-shape, it holds it's triangular shape well . I also purchased a chameleon organizer, the extra large and it fits down perfectly into the Gili bags with room to spare for using the rest of the purse, while still holding that size of an organizer cozy to the bag. The chameleon organizer is the lightest thing ever, so it doesn't add more weight to the bag either. But what you are saying is right, it is definitely more flexible than the black. I have all my bags lined up in a guest bedroom and my eye goes to the lizard every single time............it says EXPENSIVE, this girl who's carrying it is ELEGANT. To me, in my opinion alone, this is the bag that says Money........and it's the color of Expresso!

sherrisuzanne - the Expresso Lizard was the bag that first caught my eye. I bought the black because I thought it would be more universal. But your wonderful review of the lizard stuck in my mind - so I have ordered it. Once I get it I will decide which one I will keep. It's an incredible bag for less than $200. Thanks for the review.

I was wondering the same thing. I tell myself that I will return one - but I know myself too well. So I will probably argue with myself for awhile - it will be interesting to see who wins.
