Warning, a bit pic heavy! I tried to include as many of the kinds of shots I know people are interested in.
I have never been much of a purse person, but was given a Coach certificate for my graduation and went a little crazy researching bags on TPF. I never thought I'd be the type to order a bag 2 months before it comes out or learn how to use drilldown until I saw epat 2007's gorgeous champagne Alexandra. So thanks to all of you.
Here's the front and back, it is a decent size purse.(11x11x5 according to JAx) I have taken it to the library with all my school notebooks, coffee mug (no leak style!), checkbook wallet, several books and it was still not full. My small laptop would not fit, but I'm sure a netbook would.
My favorite thing about this purse is that it can be worn three ways. As a satchel:
with a long strap/crossbody:
The long strap can be strapped along the bottom like a Sabrina.
and as a hobo!
Not sure if it is clear in that pic, but there is a small leather loop to facilitate hobo-wear:
Review: This bag is extremely comfortable in every way I have worn it. The cross body is useful for when it is loaded up, but the other two ways are also comfy. It fits magazines without rolling or folding. The color is gorgeous and somewhat unique; I have never seen a leather bag in quite this shade. The small pocket in the back is great for small things you don't want to root around for in the bag like keys. Downsides: Wearing as a hobo puts an unsightly bend in the long strap. Also, specific to this color, the SAs warned me about color transfer. All in all I love the bag! When I ordered mine from the store, the SA told me there were only 417 in this color left and would probably not go to stores.
Hope this is helpful to those who are interested!
