Believe me, I've checked this out. The leaf one is super cute. Very tempting, very, very tempting for a beach bag or what is it this one is supposed to be for, groceries. You'd be one hot mama in Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or just fill in the name of your favorite store, with that baby!
 
Mary Kate Olsen is involved with 49 square mile bags. They do use nice leather. I had a great one called the know it all clutch. It was a big triangular shaped deep oversized clutch with a strap (black). I ended up sending it to my ebay consigner and it recently sold.
 
^actually, from a blurb on the Marissa Collections site, no, Mary Kate Olson is not involved... She and the other just exemplify the San Francisco culture which is the main design influence of 49 Sq. Mi.

49 Square Miles Bigmouth Hobo
by JAY HARTINGTON on SEPTEMBER 8, 2008
The bourgeois bohemian style of Mary Kate Olsen and Talitha Getty is an example of the San Francisco Bay Area culture, the main design influence of 49 Square Miles.

The hand bag collection is made of Italian leathers in sumptuous saturated color with exposed stitching and minimal hardware. 49 Square Miles is a combination of more than 30 years of fashion industry experience with a deep genuine love of the San Francisco Bay Area, giving each bag an artisanal organic quality. Like Olsen, Getty and their like, these bags are perfect blend of nature and glamor. The 49 Square Miles Bigmouth hobo embodies much of this style from their current Fall collection.
 
lulu that hummingbird one is cute! i like that the one for the leaf is not white canvas like the other bags... i would be so afraid to use it around the kids, esp with my DS kicking the bags when I'm holding him on my hips. those Crocs get dirty really fast and leave black marks on my nice khaki pants. :/ another reason i've been wearing jeans more often. less noticeable.
 
mothbeast, I like the idea of a 49 Sq. Mi. (Square Miles) Color/Season reference thread very much, especially as we've gotten a bit more interest in the brand, and items are starting to pop up on the 'Bay.
