I saw this in person when I was at the store... I originally was really interested in the piece when I saw it on the runway, but when I saw it in store, I found the bag a bit... loud if you know what I mean. In pictures and on the runway, it looks really nice but in person, I just found it really out there and attention grabbing and the rope/knot print mixed with the checkers of the DG print and then the knot/rope print arranged in larger checkers, etc. in person was not the most appealing, IMHO. Like what TAXxSPIN has said, my SA said the same thing, that this line, especially the larger items were not selling as well as anticipated, since this is aimed for the men's market - and I wholly agree with my SAs sentiments. I think since your DH is the one going to be carrying it, I think you should ask for his opinion before going ahead and purchasing it. Good luck though!
