It’s easy to be patient, westvillage, when my latest Botkier should arrive as early as Tuesday! :giggle:

I have a wee one coming as well. I could NOT believe the sale price, which got even lower before checkout.

Currently visiting son number 3 in Philly ‘til Wednesday night. Maybe I’ll have a box awaiting my arrival home.

Happy Monday, fellow Islanders! :beach:

Playing with my LC Red Cuir this morning. :rolleyes:

Instead of wearing it as intended…. :speedy:

Going for a more casual vibe... :jammin:

With so many beautiful bags, Fim, I think it must be very frustrating to select the one you are going to carry before leaving home in the morning…
I know it depends on your outfit and the place you are going to but still….
All three are great, it would have taken me a whole day to make a decision…:sad::sad:

Actually I find it more fun than frustrating, Mariapia. But then again, I’m a complete and utter egoist when it comes to my bags. ;)

As for today, I decided to test my proof of concept with my LC Red Cuir by taking it to town with me this morning. :speedy:

Wearing the bag as intended, I had to drop the front strap to open the flap which left the bag gaping as I took out my wallet. And though our County isn’t what you would call a hotbed for crime, anyone standing nearby in line could’ve easily reached in front of me to gain access to my bag’s other contents. :panic:

Conversely, wearing the bag backwards made the whole process easier and far more secure. Both straps stayed on my shoulder and anyone in line who might’ve attempted to gain access to my bag’s other contents would’ve immediately been punished for trying to grope an old lady. :police:

Oh dear! I have just realized bag #2 and bag #3 were the same bag.
Shame on me…:-s
But then….I wasn’t that wrong…;)
Your LC can be worn on both sides and not only does it remain pretty , it also becomes more practical if you have to open it in a crowded place.:ps:

I would’ve thought the same thing at first glance, Mariapia. :yes:

It’s one bag, but with two distinct looks depending on how it’s worn. :idea:

Here’s a staple in my bag herd, one I invariably bring on travels because it’s small, light, roomy for its size, and with its metallic sheen it goes from day to dinner. It’s my go- to for this tourist-y visit to my son’s “new” life here.

Excellent choice, westvillage! :ps:

With its subdued metallic sheen it’s everything you said and more! :drool:
