Thanks for all the opinions girls! Well, I got the Novak this morning and as lovely as it is, I think I'm going to return it. The leather is really smooth and soft and looks as though it would scratch very easily. As a matter of fact, there are already a few scratches by the turnlock and I haven't even used it yet! Since I'm a little rough on my bags, this one is definitely not for me! At least I have my Balenciaga coming!
