Sometimes my arm gets tired and I usually carry around quite a bit of stuff :) The shark color is a beautiful gray. Just what you'd think of a shark - not too light or whitish at all - and very versatile. The bag I currently own was one of the ones that had a problem at the tannery and the color faded. I contacted Modalu (who let me know about the tannery issue) and they are replacing the bag. I had received many compliments on the original color, and like it against many colors of clothing - black, navy, pinks, white, orange... so I am absolutely thrilled with their customer services. I don't know if you've seen it, but I also did a vlog on this bag which is posted here on my blog, and have some other pictures of the bag with outfits. I took it to Denmark & Italy this summer and it was the bag I used most days. Hope this helps!sparrowsandsparkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178796147098115616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613015546783980758.post-32125971336154448632011-10-07T09:18:51.315-07:002011-10-07T09:18:51.315-07:00Hi, I have been researching for a review on this b...Hi, I have been researching for a review on this bag and I'd like to ask if this is a versatile color for you, like you could use it in any color of your clothes. .Or you just carry this during the summer time ? Also, How are you liking the strap, do you use it or not ?And lastly, is this shark color very near to gray or white ? Many thanks and I hope to hear from you.luckymiraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643513930185517065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613015546783980758.post-12827626465091786582011-08-09T16:51:49.002-07:002011-08-09T16:51:49.002-07:00Oh ok thanks for replying to my post.

Did yours come by US post once it hit the states or was it via UPS or some other shipping company? Sending an email out to Modalu to inquire as well!

I live in the USA, too, and I notice that Modalu charges £15 ($25)for "International world wide delivery," but in my pre-order form, the shipping charge under my subtotal says "FREE." I'm wondering if they'll charge me later, or if it really is free. You said that they charged you, so in your order form, was shipping also listed as "FREE"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613015546783980758.post-13079491247898896962011-05-28T18:43:17.758-07:002011-05-28T18:43:17.758-07:00Sasa, I would love to see some pictures when you g...Sasa, I would love to see some pictures when you get it! My Coach bag has similar sizing to the medium Pippa, so I might end up with that one. I'm still debating, though, so I love looking at different photos to compare the two sizes.

I'm only 5'3", so I debating between getting the small or the medium (if and when it becomes available in again) Pippa. I saw a photo of someone (5'2") wearing the small Pippa and thought it was a perfect size, but then I saw your model photos and now am thinking the medium might not be too bad for my height after all! Decisions, decisions... :P<br /><br />I'm waiting just like you, Sasa.

Unfortunately you can no longer preorder the medium size Pippa but the small pippa IS available! Wondering if I should just get the small Pippa, the medium might be too big for my height? Looks like they might also come out with a red one for fall so might hold out for that.....interesting just went on their site and they no longer have the pictures up (employees were carrying various bags).
