Noticed those who bought black bonnies either sold or returned them

[user082008]

Just wondering why? Was it the color/quality of leather or size? I'm contemplating exchanging the blonde one that's on it's way for a black bonnie instead. I don't think I'll like the handles darkening on the blonde bonnie too much after use.

I really like this bag, however some may not like it because of the size - it can look too small on you if you're not petite and skinny. I have it in black and I use it a lot when I only need to carry a few things (long wallet, small make up case, hand sanitizer, cell phone - I can also fit a water bottle too).

[user082008]

What color do you have it in? I'm considering black now. If you can point me in the direction of pictures that have people modeling them I would greatly appreciate it as I'm having a hard time deciding on how it would look I'm 5'5" 115 pounds. Or if you could take a few pics that would be SO MUCH help!

noticed the black bonnie on bloomingdales.com looks like this like it has two straps

and the one on kooba.com looks like it has one strap?????

The Bonnie on Bloomingdales.com looks like it has one strap to me. This eBay listing is the only photo I could find that shows the bag in relation to someone with a slim build. I'm 5'2" 95 pounds and this is sort of how it looks on me. I have it black, and I'm glad that I chose this color because the handle does rub against your arm every time you take it off or put it on your shoulder.

[user082008]

perfect thank you!! A couple more questions about the leather since you have it in black. Does it look dull or faded at all? And did you us1e a conditioner/protectant? If so what one? And how's it holding up? Thanks again!

[user082008]

Let me rephrase. The black one on the bloomingdales site looks like one handle but it looks split in the middle like a loop like thing?? Where on the kooba site it looks like the brown one on the bloomingdales site(no split loop just a strap)

see how the black ones handle is looped at ends and brown isn't? I kind of like the one on the left more now than on the kooba site because it has looped handles. But I don't want to pay taxes and shipping if I end up receiving the same thing on the kooba site which looks like the brown one on the right.

[user082008]

In anyones opinion which do you think would look better the one strap with no loops or the double loop strap one(shown in black) The bags look different to me now in the bloomingdales pics not only the strap but dimensions.

The color of mine looks pretty much like this one : http://cgi.ebay.com/Kooba-Bonnie-Bla...QQcmdZViewItem

I didn't spray it with a protectant and it still looks the same as when I first bought it (about 3 months ago) - it's not faded or dull. The handle on mine also looks like the handle on the brown one on bloomgdales' site. I don't think I would want loop handles because it looks sleeker without the big loops.

[user082008]

I was thinking the same thing about the sleekness and how the other handles might make it look clunky in that area or how it might sit with those handles. Thanks for your help and the links to the pics.

I know that Kooba did put out two different Devin bags (larger Bonnie's) in black. The earlier season had one strap and the later season had two.
