Well I appreciate the input so far, girls! I like several of the classic and original bags (field, patricia, basic...) - wonder if the patricia and basic bags are big enough and if the flap gets in the way of accessing contents in the patricia. Also - what do you think about getting one of these or one of the Marc Jacobs bags (Classic Q Natasha, House of Marc Natasha, etc.)?? Sure wish I could see some of these but don't live in a place where that's possible so I'm depending on y'all! Oh these decisions
