That is one scrumptious bag KB! But I do kind of agree with you that it is a lot like your card counter. I think there are enough differences that you could justify keeping it, but i also know that you're obsessed with Tumbleweed and probably a bunch of other bags too (who isnt?) so maybe there is something else that will give you GISN and be different. The bella leather looks soo smooshy

I know what you mean... it's the practical me saying do I really need 2 brown messanger type bags? I know need doesn't usually factor in and saddle is gorgeous!

Ohhh! I thought you meant color. But if it's about having two brown crossbody's, you're probably right!

KittyBag · Sep 2nd, 2009, 09:19 PM

^ I think if the color was more orangy.. then I could say... well I need a brown and orangy-brown messenger

I like the color....but I don't get the bows on the sides.

TygerKitty · Sep 2nd, 2009, 09:47 PM

I love the bows!

LisaMM · Sep 2nd, 2009, 09:51 PM

I did the GISN over the leather... GAH!!! I can't decide on a style though!! Great reveal, it's a beautiful bag!

Odebdo · Sep 2nd, 2009, 10:01 PM

OMG!!! Kitty...I love the color!!!

But I am in agreement that the Tano keep test is the GISN...so if this one is not it...find one that meets that test!!! Isn't bella AWESOME though???

I love the color, but I too thought it was a bit more orangy as well. If you don't love it, than return it and get something else.

I love the color but maybe it would look better in a different style bag-personally I'm dying to see this color in the Lady Raga. Thanks for showing close ups of the leather because it's been hard for me to tell the true texture until I saw your up close photo's. Good luck with your decision, whatever you decide!!! :)

TejasMama · Sep 2nd, 2009, 11:06 PM

I think this bag is fantastic. Love the style and the color, but it has to work for you. Thank you for the photos!

Celts20 · Sep 2nd, 2009, 11:24 PM

Great reveal!! If you decide to return it, something else will come along that you absolutely love with no reservations... which is the beauty of Tano bags

So true! Takes a bit of learning to realize that but now I feel SO much better if I am not crazy about something because I know I will be absolutely blown away by something later! Not all brands do this for me though! Some are a total snoozefest lol!

I love the bows on the Sexbomb....but these bows don't seem integrated into the style at all and the "tails" are too short. What is it that you love about them?

TygerKitty · Sep 3rd, 2009, 01:50 AM

^^ To me they are whimsical and draw attention to the other zipper pulls. They do tie a bit strange though...
