So I posted yesterday about a bag I passed over because it wasn't practical. Well, to h*ll with practical! That bag was just GORGEOUS! I have zero self-control, and I knew I'd be crushed if that bag was gone next time I went to that store. When I went back, they actually had one in black, too, which would normally be more appealing to me. But this one just looked richer in brown, and it almost passes for black with a black coat. The textures of the lacing and the braids just shows much better in the brown.

Oh, and I also had picked up a Lattington Satchel before the new year that I've been using about a week.

Here is the Lattington. This is the first satchel bag I've ever bought (well, except my Speedy), although it does fit on my shoulder.

And here is the Kenton Criss-Cross Medium Hobo. Yes, it only snaps at the top in closure, but I will live dangerously for the sake of this bag. It is just SO beautiful. And the leather is TDF soft. The workmanship and detail are amazing. I just cannot say enough about this bag! And poor Lattington. I thought she was the best just a week ago, and I still love her, but I am just infatuated with Kenton.

I will try to get modeling shots tomorrow, but I am notoriously bad about posting modeling shots. I just cannot EVER get the timer on my camera to work.
 
You are freaking hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!! But hey - if a bag is calling to you that bad, I think you need to have it. Don't even get me started on hunting down bags on ebay that I thought I could live without and then became obsessed with finding.

Having said that, I can totally see why you were infatuated!! The Kenton is freaking STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never even seen that one in Canada - man am I going to be in trouble when we go to Orlando next month.

The lacing is just beautiful, and the top doesn't look so bad - I have bags way more open than that, I think you'll be just fine. She is a total stunner!!!!!!

Your Lattington is so pretty too, they are both gorgeous bags and I'm so happy for you!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo:
 
Well now I can see and understand why you kept thinking about this beauty! The Kenton is a Stunning Bag, I love the details of the bag and the leather looks so soft. This is truly a classic bag and you will treasure her forever. I can't stop looking at your pictures. I like the Lattington but love your Kenton Hobo. Did this bag come in any other colors? A color I would like in this bag for myself would be a Camel color or Tan. Let me know if you saw it in these colors.
Congrats on getting her :D
 
I only saw it in the dark brown that I bought and black, although I am pretty sure it originally came in camel as well. There was a camel-colored suede bag with a zipper at the top, short handles and a detachable shoulder strap with studding down the middle seam at my Marshall's, though. It seems that the Marshall's/TJ Maxx stores here (in WI) just recently received shipments of MK bags because my store had more today that they did not have yesterday. They also had a Lattington in a royal blue color.
 
Thanks! I saw the camel colored suede with the studs down the middle it was called the MK Astor. I like this bag but put it back because I was worried about the suede getting dirty. I prefer leather.

Anyway, Enjoy your new bags they are really Beautiful!
 
I love both bags, but the Lattington is my favorite just because it's more practical for someone like me. I can completely see myself driving down the road with a bag like Kenton, and getting p***ed when it tips over somehow and stuff starts going everywhere lol.

I do love the details on Kenton though, and it's a decent sized bag too.

I saw one of the royal blue Lattington bags on eBay, and it's a beatiful color. Thinking I might just like to have one of those!
