I am stalking this bag in the mint color as well! I have it down for my b-day present!! I think if I get it I might spray it with some protective leather spray....and baby it!

I am stalking the mint too and yesterday I saw some inexpensive mint heels with a slightly rounded toe that fit like a glove so now . . . .
I don't think keeping it clean would be too bad, just maybe spray it if you can and as you said, be a bit careful.

Turn of event. I had just went to check it out in store. The sample looks wrinkled and dirty. Don't know if it is my local store's problem or a general issue. Not to be a wet blanket, and you should probably still go see it for yourself. And I suspect lighting has a lot to do with it. But I am backing out for now... :( Pretty sad. I had high hopes for this one.

I've seen these in a Kate Spade store and in a bunch of department stores and they have never looked wrinkled or dirty! I think you must have seen a bust/lemon. They look beautiful when I see them--so structured and lovely.

Was just going to post the same thing!! I saw this at Nordies and really love the mint one which is not like me. I think after this N.E. winter I am tired of just black. Then I saw an awesome pair of the same color mint heels, rounded toe and fell in love. What do you think? Will I tire of this color or go for it? I have a lot of larger bags and would like some smaller ones and I thought the shape of the Pippa was just fabulous!

Mint is definitely having a moment right now, but if it is wearable with other things in your wardrobe, then it will probably serve you for a long time.

Agreed. Several brands now have mint colored bags (e.g. Coach). I think the color is just precious! Mint sweaters are also cute, as I observed on co-workers. Not sure how long this color will last, but I think it probably will have a longer life than other bizarre and loud colors. However, it does have a cooler tone, so probably won't jibe well with your warm colored clothing. Pairing/Co-ordinating is one of my concerns, as my skin tone works better with warm colors...

I bet what I saw was a lemon. It looked beautiful online, and I find KS's online pictures very consistent with their actual looks. I do, however, want to hear about people's opinions on them after trying them out for a while...

I wish it eventually goes on sale! Or maybe on a F&F sale...Last year there was a F&F around April, hopefully I can wait until then...

I too really liked this bag so I went to check it out. The one problem I have is the CB strap is way too long to leave on the bag. I don't know why they don't make them truly adjustable like Tory Burch does for all different heights and uses???

I like the shape of that bag, but do the handles fold down when using the shoulder strap? I HATE IT when the handles won't fold down.

I've been eyeing this bag since it came out and I'm finally gonna make the move this weekend. I wanted the mint from the start but my fear is that when is the last time mint was in so it would be a "here today gone next year" type of thing. As for the question about the handles, yes they lay very nicely against the bag which is a true necessity IMO!
As for the taller gal, the strap is mega long, some of my problem being only 5'3". But I played and if I clip one end on one size and one end on the other and use the smallest hole, I think I can do it. That was the only thing stopping me - because I like the longer strap. So, with all that said, no color is all that remains.

Should I go with the mint or the dark chino which is very classy as well - more so in person. what do you gals think? :D

Thanku for letting me know about the strap. I really love the mint color. I don't think it will go out of style anytime soon for spring n summer. Def not a winter color tho of course.
