I came home from vacation last night to find this little treasure waiting for me! OMG, the leather is so squishy soft and flexible! I am very pleased with the shade of brown, in some pics I had seen it looked a little washed out and I was happy to see that in person this is not the case. It's a rich reddish brown, absolutely gorgeous! It does have a few scuff marks on the front, though they are light and not very noticeable, I didn't know what to expect from the sample sale but this is not a problem for the price I paid. I got it for $114 after using the luckybreaks code and the $15 discount. The size is perfect and it fits just right by my side, very comfortable to carry! I love this bag so much I wouldn't mind having it in several colors, I hope LP will keep it going in new colors for each season.

I'm trying to get a close up of the scuffs here, you can barely see them and I'd say they are slightly more noticeable in real life -

And here is my daughter modeling for me, she's about 5'7" and will be volunteering for the Special Olympics today so no fancy outfit to model this time. It is not as dark as it shows in this pic, the pictures above are a better representation.

I think I have found a new brand obsession!

The tote looks like it can be worn all year long, I really like it.

Lovely! What a great shape ! And very versatile color, too!

It's gorgeous Linda, I love it very much!!! The camel looks darker than what I traditionally think of as camel-- it looks more of a brandy colour to me, but nevertheless it is indeed a perfect brown! Congrats!

Agreed, it's not what I would think of as camel either but it's lovely none the less! A traditional camel would have been too light for me I think so this worked out nicely. It matches the shade pretty well to their stock pic and that's what I was hoping for.

Yes, I'd say this is a brown that can be worn year round! It's so soft and comfortable, it just snuggles up to my side. I'm currently marinating it in some Wilson's TLC.

OMG!!!! GORGEOUS!!!! I LOVE IT!!! i know what you mean about getting hook on these incredibly smooshy leather bags,,,, theyre the most incredible leather ive ever felt!!! so natural too!!!

LindaP · Apr 24th, 2009, 05:49 PM

I carried it today and it was so comfy! It's so nice and slim it just tucks under my arm with a comfy squishy feel. It fit all my stuff and didn't look bulky, the outside zippered pockets I used for my cell phone and keys. The top zipper does stick a little but I'm hoping it will work in over time.

super gorgeous bag!!!

now, im wayyyy excited to get mine cause of those pics. i really hope lp ships my order soon

LindaP · Apr 25th, 2009, 09:55 PM

Well I think my first LP has spoiled me for all other bags! It's just so darn comfortable to carry, even the handles are so soft and flexible. I had my daughter walk around with it and even talked the hubby into it briefly so I could show them how comfortable this bag is to carry.

I've already purchased another one off Ebay and find myself eager to see what they have in line for Fall, the Dylan line has me totally hooked.
