I bought the Blake in black for $348 from Bloomingdales.com and am returning it Friday so there's a deal to be had next week.

ANyone know if the caramel and camel are similar? I have a Parker in Camel coming and I was wondering how similar it is to the caramel. Thanks!

Hello, the camel color, imo, is not similar to the caramel color. Even when you remove the glossy patent finish, the caramel is still a bit on the orange side and the camel is like a light tan.

I love love LOVE the side pockets that stick out. I'm a water bottle addict, and I find that the pockets are PERFECT for that - which also makes me think it would be a great baby bag.

I wondered about this. I've been contemplating the Blake for a while but wasn't sure about the extra space that was left between the main compartment and the sides and top corners of the tote. I've always thought that if the extra space/pockets were big enough for a water bottle or diet coke bottle then this might be my perfect bag. So thanks for your review! I think I need a Blake!

love this bag but still have not worn it
think i will set it up for adoption and get another style instead
hate to let it go ..so pretty but too many koobas have to do it

Any tips on where I might find a Blake in Amethyst on sale? I passed up a black one during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I sort of wish I would've scooped it up. Neiman Marcus has the amethyst at full price but wondering if I might be able to get a deal elsewhere. Thanks!

I am officially obsessed with the caramel Blake, but I can't find it anywhere! Anyone know where I can get my claws on one?

Thanks KoobaMe!

To gals who own this, how is the leather? Is it a stiff bag? Does the patent leather crinkle a lot after a while? TIA!

I have been wanting an Amethyst Blake for a while but haven't been able to find one for less than retail.

I just bought this bag (in this color) TODAY at Saks. They are having a Friends and Family event this weekend and I got the bag for $484 - or 25% off! BEAUTIFUL bag!
