I bought the small reversible stripe tote in crimson a while ago because I love the crimson colour and because it was the last one and I knew it was being discontinued. But I got it home and realized that it's kind of a really dumb design. I HATE the lack of pockets. The one zippered pocket is too small to really hold anythin. The dogleash closure is completely pointless. I've never understood the point of that on bags. I mean, it doesn't protect anything inside the bag...someone could still reach in and steal a wallet really easily. So why bother having it? Plus, I HATE where it's positioned on the stripe tote. It's right smack in the middle of the zipper on the pocket, so that it gets in the way if you want to zip or unzip the pocket. The only way around it is to just leave the pocket unzippered, which totally defeats the purpose of having a zippered pocket. Also, I would never bother to reverse the bag because a) I think it looks kind of weird, especially since the seams bulge out and b) then the zippered pocket would be on the outside and would look really bulky if there was anything in it.
Yeah, so that's my long-winded way of saying that I really wanted to love the bag because of the colour but I'm going to return it. I've got the sig stripe wristlet and large beauty case in crimson so at least I don't feel like I missed out on the colour totally.
