Botkier Lita Hobo & Satchel

Evening · Aug 13th, 2008, 09:38 PM

I need advice! I'm looking into purchasing a Botkier Lita Hobo or Satchel. I really like the shape of the Lita, buuut I just realized there's a zipper on the side of it, which I think looks kinda weird.

Is it just me? Should I opt for the Satchel instead, which doesn't have a zipper? Although, I've heard that the satchel is a bit hard to get into..

What should I do? Go for the shape I like better and ignore the zipper, go for the satchel due to its lack of a zipper, or just search for another bag?

Try em both on for size and it neither one fits...find something that does.

I agree. Never settle. I mean that. Good luck!

ETA: If you think the zipper looks weird, don't talk yourself into it. I tend to find I always make a mistake when I talk myself into purses, clothes and shoes.

^^ i agree. if you're unsure about the zipper you always will be. keep looking.

That's true ^, but I've seen the bag and it doesn't look weird at all. Now, I have not seen the black one, and maybe it's more noticeable on that one, but I personally don't think that it's odd-looking IRL.

Thanks - I've decided to look for another black hobo. Which really sucks cause I absolutely love the design from the front. :( Maybe Botkier will come out with something similar in a later season!

I still really don't like the zipper, personal preference. :P

I love the side zippers (you can make your bag thinner or fatter easily depending on what you're carrying that day which might come in handy) personally but definitely don't settle!
