Hello!
I am looking into buying an older Herbag (the 2 in 1 style) and am debating between the backpack or the version with the long shoulder strap.
I was wondering if anyone had the backpack and what they thought? Is it possible to remove the long "backpack" straps and just keep the top handle on the bag?
I am not really a backpack person and am only considering it because I will be traveling in a year or so and thought the backpack straps might be useful. Otherwise, I don't think I would be using them like a traditional backpack.
The other possibility is which size? I do not like to use very large bags and I know for everyday carrying, I would want the PM size. But, the MM size calls to me because I don't really have a nice weekend bag and maybe this could be used as one?
My current lifestyle: stay at home mom of 5 yr old twins. I don't need diaper bags or really carry much other than cell phone, keys, small wallet and a hankie. I don't like heavy bags and my current 'bag" is a wristlet that I just love because I can slip it on my wrist and forget about it while I shop or hold the boys' hands when crossing the street.
I don't travel much (hence the reason for not having a nice weekend bag) and my current handbags include a Dalvy and bolide "style" bags. I also have 3 Loro Piana Globe bags (two large and one small). I like the look of these bags but they are HEAVY and I hate carrying the large ones. I only carry the large ones when the family is going out to a football/soccer game and I need room to carry light jackets, mittens, etc. for the boys. Otherwise, they stay at home and collect dust.
My current fashion style: ladylike, feminine -- skirts, mary janes, pintucks, ruffles...you get the idea.
And finally, any recommendations on color? My wardrobe foundations are charcoal/black for winter and navy/aqua for spring/summer (but my favorite colors are green and purple). I would LOVE the old navy and the vibrato (sp) that came in purple and blues...but I highly doubt I will find one. So, I am thinking maybe the black and the cream as opposed to the light tan leather. I am worried that the black will look to heavy in the summertime -- and I am supposing this is a spring/summer bag due to the canvas. And, since this is a summertime bag (?) my wardrobe isn't really based on black in the summer....so maybe I should get the tan?
I am sorry that I agonize over every decision. I just want to make sure that I know exactly what I want before I part with a penny.
Thanks!
