I love the look of the Blake and have 2, tomatoe and plum, they're not too small for everyday and fit nearly everything I need to carry. Don't think they too heavy either, I've been carrying MJ with rolled straps for years and now have a dent in my shoulder and the rolled straps fit perfectly :) Enjoy your Blake :)

Count me in the Blake Club

I have two, Spearmint and Chalk.......I ADORE them both. I think they hold a lot more then they look like they should too.

I like that you can wear it on your shoulder or on your arm also!

Last winter I wore my bordeaux Blake everyday to work. Love that bag! It's heavy but I don't care. I just switch shoulders if I need to.

I'm not officially part of the Blake club but would like to be!! I was thinking about buying one in black soft calf leather. Are these still available? And is the bag really heavy?? =[

I'll go take some pics right now.

Anyone else want to join me in posting pics?

xi_captain · Jul 31st, 2008, 10:02 PM

^I'll join you! Though I don't have my black Blake with me (it's at my in-laws, where we used my hubby's old room as "storage" while we're away for grad school). Solo pics of the Blakes would have to do for now...

Melly · Jul 31st, 2008, 10:09 PM

I can't wait to see your pics!!
