This is for all the ladies who have Hamptons Carryalls...do you use them as everyday bags or do you use them mostly for work/going out?

I've always wondered about this. With slouch bags being so big for so long, I sometimes still want a nice structured bag so I can find all my stuff. I have the large leather hamptons carryall but it's mostly used for work or dressing up. I suppose I could also wear it with jeans but I dress pretty casually most days.

Would love to hear from you. Also, if anyone has the white/saddle tan leather hamptons carryall, how is it wearing? I love this bag but haven't been brave enough to buy it yet!

I have the Hamptons Stripe bag from last fall and I love it. I use it as an everyday bag. I love that it sits by itself and opens nicely so I can see everything. I have some of the slouchy bags, such as Carly, but I always go back to my Hamptons.

BTW, I LOVE the white/saddle tan bag you are looking at! I too have considered that one but wondered about the white and how it would hold up.

It's so gorgeous IRL, and I had a chance to buy it at the outlet (it was a store return) and I left it there (like an idiot) because I told myself it wasn't practical...hmph...

I have yet to own a white bag but I might break my ban for that one because I have it in mahogany and it is gorgeous!

I'm so glad to hear that you ladies are using them as everyday bags. I'm pretty casual and worried about that--I really love the ease of my slouchy bags but sometimes I tire of fishing around my endless pit looking for stuff KWIM?

Anyone else wish to chime in? And include Pics? Would LOVE to see pics of your hamptons!

I have a large carryall and use it every day. It doubles as my diaper bag. I'm strictly a jeans and t-shirt girl too so it's never dressed up.

Is that your bag in your avatar? Is it white? You must really put it through the paces since it doubles as a diaper bag (awesome). How is it holding up? I've always worried that I couldn't take care of a white bag but yours looks really gorgeous.:love:

I have the carryall in red/coral and I use it as an everyday bag. I like the saddle/white but for me I thought the red coral ( its more burgandy then "red") is one I could wear with more things, I can wear it with black shoes or brown shoes, where as with saddle/white- I would not use it w/ black shoes. And I wear a lot of black.

Do you have the medium or the large? Are you finding it comfortable to carry over your shoulder or is it a handcarry bag for you. BTW, the red is amazing, but I have a couple of red bags already so I wouldn't allow myself to get another one. I bet it dresses up anything amazingly and looks equally classy with jeans....

I was planning to buy this bag in turquoise but I wasn't sure how good it is as a shoulder bag- does anyone know if it would hurt?

Also, what do you think of the turquoise? I generally dress very plain, so I like to carry bags with a classic shape in a color that pops.

The turquoise is pretty, I just personally don't think I'd get that much use out of it (for the money) even though I wear a lot of turquoise jewlery. As for the shoulder hang, well my Hamptons carryall will fit on my shoulder and if I need to be hands free for a moment I can hold her on my shoulder. BUT these bags are meant to be carried in hand, and I would not carry it on my shoulder except to get it out of my way for a minute or two, too long would not be comfortable.

Do you have an outlet nearby? I saw a few of these--medium and large--at our local outlet--maybe store transfers? The color is gorgeous IRL, and coach's turquoise is the ultimate color neutral--it can be worn with just about anything. I don't know about the shoulder thing, though. Maybe someone else can chime in?

I have the medium # 11330. The large would be way to big for me, I have plenty of room in the medium with room to spare. I carry a Bleecker clutch wallet, a small planner, eye glass case, brush, keys, cell phone, a lipstick and powder compact .
I carry it mainly as a hand carry, but like I said I can put it on my shoulder and carry for a short time if need be, it just would not be comfortable to carry it on shoulder as the main way of carrying it.

Yeah I work at the outlet near me, and we have several of them- its the color that got me! I usually don't go for structured styles, so thats whats holding me up- but its just such a gorgeous color that I keep lusting after it!
