I am very close to pulling the trigger on the Bleecker Backpack. I was wondering if anyone has used it, seen it IRL, etc. I want it to be a medium sized bag. Is it easy to get into, comfy? I know it is gorgeous, but am nervous to buy without seeing it IRL. TIA!

I'm expecting mine to be delivered today. I report soon!

dmc60 · Mar 24th, 2009, 08:10 AM

The Bleecker came! Smaller than I expected, but still a nice, medium size. (I took photos and left them in the camera - tonight I will post them!)

I just transferred everything from my Bedford messenger and it fit, np. Room to spare. The only thing I thought was odd is the zippers on the 2 front pockets - (they don't go both ways) - the zipper on the left-side pocket zip from left to right and the zipper on the right-side pocket zips from right to left. So when the pockets are zipped closed, the zippers meet. KWIM? http://haydenharnett.com/index.cgi?a...rch%3Dbleecker
Maybe it's just me big fingers, but I had to fumble around a bit to unzip them!

I got one in black and I think I would REALLY like one in violet.

Ok, here's the photos - not too good at this...
Plus, it was REALLY hard to try and shoot my back!

Thanks for the pics! i wonder if this would make a good diaper bag!

dmc60 · Mar 24th, 2009, 09:04 PM

This would not have worked well for me in the early months, diaper bag-wise. I carried too much stuff. After about 5 months, I carried an old leather backpack about this size and it worked well. I was breastfeeding tho, and I the Bleecker doesn't have any specific pockets that will hold a bottle.

I just bought the Bleeker in blue with the $50 off. Looks like something I'll use..hopefully for a gym bag!

hildie · Oct 2nd, 2009, 04:49 PM

I ended up getting the olive one and love it. I could not have used it when the kids were young but it works really well now.

duranie70 · Oct 4th, 2009, 09:38 PM

My Bleeker is not being shipped til Nov 16th!!

enga4 · Oct 4th, 2009, 09:58 PM

OMFG! That's redonkulous! They've been backordered since Spring!

duranie70 · Nov 12th, 2009, 06:56 PM

It is now Nov 12th... who thinks my smoke blue bleecker will be sent on the 16th?

duranie70 · Nov 13th, 2009, 06:36 PM

I got an email from Selena that all of the new nylon is in and the nylon bags (including my Bleecker) will be sent out at the end of November.
