Hi Liz, which bag do you mean, the black one at the store or to take the whiskey at the outlet? There is quite a difference in price to get the preferred black for winter at $398.00. I had returned the whiskey shoulder slim flap...much too heavy and the hippie is similar but crossbody and a bit smaller. I regretted having to take it back...but really wanted a black leather bag...for I wear lots of black and white as well as jeans and brown and blues, pinks..and colors..Brown goes well with everything..and black, to me is winter...colors... have lots of brown...the price at the outlet is excellent but, yes, it might be too heavy...I knew I was headed for that outlet on the way to JAX tomorrow, but I saw that thread about the hippie from Texas Mama..(thanks TM) and called the outlet and just missed the black. If I get it, I can always get something lighter in the outlet in Hiltonhead SC or Savanna on the way back. There is an early tropical sub storm brewing there right now, early in the season...so hopefully, it will pass. I tried the Ergo crossbody and it was indeed light but I still love a bargain and legacy is one thing I have trouble turning down...I want what is not good for me....now who else does that? LOL
