That makes perfect sense! I was going to try it out for a conference I'm going to. It should neatly fit both the Daycation striped large pouch I bought on the recent online sale (which should hold my generic "stuff" - card case, keys, comb, lipstick) and my 7" tablet. None of my crossbodies can do that. I have a couple of nice totes - a
Prada Nylon, a slouchy patchwork Luck Brand and a Longchamp leather briefcase - but they are not a truly hands free carry. I was going to buy a Le Pliage backpack, but hadn't located one in a store to check out yet, and altbough it wasn't terribly expensive it was alot for something I might not use again! Finding this KS one for $5 in a thrift store felt very fortunate. It is (IMO) nicer than the LePliage, I can try it out, use it for the conference and if I haven't fallen in love with it then give it away.
I love thrifting and giving my finds to my kiddos (I teach middle school and high school technology to predominantly low income kids) Most of my kids are in difficult financial straits, but working hard to make a better life for themselves and their families. Hey, I'm sending a lovely pair of Tod's driving mocs to Harvard this year (on the feet of a lovely young woman I taught for several years...)
