I was cautiously optimistic when I ordered the Aubree but I LOVE it! I was looking for something very specific because I wanted a crossbody bag that wasn't as big as a messenger bag (like the Little Minka) or too tiny/thin. I can fit a ton of stuff in the Aubree without feeling like it's crammed in there, and it's slightly structured (not slouchy) so it's easy for me to find things quickly. I really appreciate that it's wide at the bottom so that I can fit my digital camera without struggling to make it fit.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the ID pocket and the stitching on the back of the purse. I think the large rectangle of stitching looks kind of tacky and I would never put an ID or anything in that outer pocket so it's totally useless to me.
I had a little bit of color transfer because I was wearing dark rinse jeans a lot, but it came off easily with Apple Leather Care.
I loved the Aubree so much that I got another one in black! The pink one is ridiculously on sale on the KS website, so I say go for it! Get it!
I had been eyeing the Little Curtis for a while. I try it on every time I see it at the store. I like that it can be carried on the shoulder or as a crossbody, just like the Little Minka, but in the end I'm glad I ended up with the Aubree because I love the Rio Pink color. I get compliments on it all the time.
Harley77, the Rio Pink is really bright in person. Like REALLY bright. I like it though. And it's not as eye searingly neon as Gulabi, which was just too much for me. On my computer screen, the color in the first picture is a little more purple/magenta than it is in real life. In person, I think it's more of a pink. I have a lot of pink KS items and I always have a hard time getting the colors to photograph correctly. The photos on the KS website aren't always accurate either in terms of the color either, so I try to go to the store to check out the colors in person whenever possible.
