...but do I need one??? It would be my safe oak for rainy days bag too, since I still struggle with taking out oak bags if it threatens to rain...
I think my cravings escalated after trying a gorgeous medium Mitzy hobo on yesterday (perfect graining and shade), when also trying on the gingerbread Hayden hobo and tote (loved especially the tote). The strap and length on the Mitzy strap suits me far better than the broader and longer on Hayden.. loved the look of medium Mitzy, and I've been liking the messenger for a while. The only messenger I truly feel comfortable with.. yet.. due to it's round shape I think. Not really thinking of my OS Alexa as a messenger..
Yesterday the SA told me they will not continue with the med Mitzy - not sure about the messenger, didn't ask specifically about that, but in the AW 2010 collection there is a slightly wider Mitzy (compared to the messenger and med hobo) with both shoulder strap and long strap (however prob shorter than messenger strap...) would be perfect withe the two straps as I really want both.., but not sure if I liked the wider look of the bag in the pic. They always look better irl though and the SA said it was gorgeous..
My need for a messenger is especially when travelling and being afraid of taking an oak darwin or NVT bag with me and wanting to be handsfree of course. And will also be very handy when walking my dog around in the city parks etc and want to be a little chic My alternative is to buy an reg Alexa later on (next autumn or so). I love the Alexa and the buffalo leather is also good in the rain..
Will Alexa serve the same purpose as Mitzy? Which would you recommend? Come on all your Mitzy and Alexa lovers, give me your opinions! (I'm going to a store now in my lunch break to hopefully try one or both bags on...)
Sorry for the long post..
