I usually shop at the Aurora, IL outlet but I made the longer trip up to Pleasant Prairie, WI today to pick up the camel Ginger that I had on charge hold. I loved the look of the bag in pictures (see attached) but things didn't work out for Ginger and me in real life. We both tried hard to make it happen, but it just wasnt meant to be. 
They had Gingers in black and camel and it's an absolutely gorgeous bag. The detailing is unbelievable and it's a fantastic bag at the incredible price of $276 (MSRP $800).
I think Ginger works well as a handbag but she's not a good shoulder bag - at least not on me and I like shoulder bags. The strap was too long and non-adjustable and the bag kept tilting sideways when I tried to wear her on my shoulder. On top of that, the strap kept slipping off my shoulder and that drives me crazy.
Ginger worked well on me as a crossbody bag but I don't find it convenient to exclusively wear bags crossbody style. I even took the stuffing out and transferred my stuff into her and walked around for awhile but it wasn't great; especially since my Ergo hobo was sitting quietly on my other shoulder the whole time and she felt perfect as always.
I thought about taking Ginger home to see if we could work it out; but I decided that it was too much money for a bag I didn't love and so I regretfully left her in Wisconsin!
I am sure that Ginger is the perfect bag for somebody else so go get her!
