My Getting Warmer is here!

marnay · Sep 29th, 2008, 03:38 PM

Oh I couldn't take the pressure of doing a slow reveal. I had to rip the box open!

I am in love......

The blueberry color is just perfect, deep and dark and delicious. This is a bag I can see getting in more than one color, and it never do that! It is soft and squishy right out of the box, none of my other crunch bags have been like that. It is roomy but not huge and it hugs the body. I adore the shoulder strap! Wide and comfy yet soft and pliable. Perfect.

The only thing I would have changed about this bag is to make the zipper open from the other direction. Right now when it is on my right shoulder, the zipper pull is closest to my back, facing away. So the tail of the zipper is closer to the front. That just seems backward to me.... are they all like that?

So here are some pictures, I am by myself so I have the bad in the bathroom lighting shots... sorry.

Just beautiful marnay! I have a raspberry but have been thinking about this bag in blueberry or pomegranate. I said the exact same thing about the zipper to my husband when I took this bag on a vacation. It is opposite of what would be most convenient to the majority of people. Congratulations on a beautiful bag!

So, do most of you wear your bags on your right shoulder? I seem to wear mine on the left. I'm right-handed, so I like to leave that hand/arm as free as possible. Just wondering...

It's beautiful! I have to ask this: does the turnlock rattle?

kings_20 · Sep 29th, 2008, 04:22 PM

I also wear my bags on my right shoulder and find most zips are backwards too. I just adapt to it. I am right handed and I have tried wearing bags on my left shoulder but it doesn't feel right.

Not that I can tell. I gave it a good shake and I can hear it a bit but just walking around no.

kmh1190 · Sep 29th, 2008, 04:46 PM

^^Sounds good (rattling turnlocks are one of my purse pet peeves!).

knasarae · Sep 29th, 2008, 05:03 PM

It's gorgeous!! It looks great on you! I tend to carry my bags on the right-shoulder to keep my left free (I'm a lefty).

I have to wear my bags on my left shoulder....that's where the groove is!

[Maybe reason for a poll?]

MamaToJakers · Sep 29th, 2008, 05:51 PM

I'm a lefty and wear my bag on my right shoulder. I'm not sure why? I've just always done it that way and cannot wear it on my left shoulder.

Love it - it is gorgeous!!!

Me too.

And what is this "groove" Sybaryte? I've just checked both shoulders and I couldn't find mine!
