I just got these 2 bags - both on sale. The leather on the Kale is beautiful. One of the straps has a tendancy to fall, so it's not going to be an everyday bag, but the straps are adjustable so the handles can be shortened to be hand-held, too. The Kate Spade is a little bigger than I wanted, but I think it's a really classy-looking animal print. (Sorry aboutthe crappy modeling pics - I don't have the time to sit down and figure out how to turn the flash off. Duh.)
