I hate to hear that. I am really wanting a gray bag for the fall, and this bag is just calling my name darn it! Does anyone have pics of the large and medium next to each other?

Is it in stock anywhere?

not sure right now but it will be again soon as it is a classic and so far the most popular colourway.

you are awesome! That bag looks great on you! Did you see the gray suede in person? Did they have any colors beside the khaki and purple?

krisalyn · Aug 1st, 2009, 02:04 AM

here's another pic comparison vs my lilac bal city. the khaki in this picture is more true since the previous pic were taken with my cell phone and this one w/ my camera.

impasto, i did see the suede in gray. you could see it in the background of my 2nd picture. It's a pretty dark gray vs the gray leather one.

the only other color in leather they have were khaki, purple, white, black. I was told that the khaki on display was the last one they have at the store and they only have 2 more purples, but a few blacks.

Can you fit a small laptob into a Medium? Like a 13-inch?

caroulemapoulen · Aug 1st, 2009, 12:08 PM

Advo: My 13'' MacBook Air only just fits into my large, when it's in it's cover. So I sure medium is too small for a 13''.

caroulemapoulen · Aug 1st, 2009, 12:08 PM

Krisalyn: Congratulations! It looks wonderful!

I personally think the dark grey is a bit blue'ish?

Oh la la... You have a MacBook Air as well? Now I'm really envious!

Just kidding, although, it is on my wishlist just above the PS1 in Smoke.

The large PS1 looks great on you, krisalyn! I wish the strap were just a bit longer - I'm 5'8" and it hangs a little higher on me when I wear it cross-body. It looks like it's the right length on you, though! And the khaki is such a lovely color.

I think I've gone insane and now I want a smoke one if I can find it. I'll probably have to sell a couple of my other bags to fund it, though. The PS1 is addictive!

I think these are great messenger bags. They are so functional and practical. The leather is so soft.

KittyKat65 · Aug 2nd, 2009, 09:40 AM

Beautiful green!! Thanks for the photos!

caroulemapoulen · Aug 2nd, 2009, 01:30 PM

Advo: Yes I do

I love it, it's so light and easy to transport, and it's my first Mac, and I will never go back.
