Hey gang.....
Just got my Pollux today and she's a definite keeper!!
I posted a new thread......I'll copy below.
Thanks again for your awesome input!


Hey there!
I FINALLY found MY TOTE!
I've learned so much from being on this Forum for over a year and have looked high/low for a basic tote with outstanding leather in the size/shape that would fit my petite frame.
You would think this to be a simple request...HA!
So, without further ado.......I NEED TO SHARE!

Now....why do I love this tote so much?

#1) Hand made in NYC....yup AND I love the simplicity. The hand stitching, the dye process, especially with the handles....the color varies and I like this artisnal quality. Just fantastic leather.
Giving 'em a plug here!!

#2) The shape, dimensions and the shoulder strap drop (10") makes it just perfect for me. The profile is slim....it's not overwhelming for me.
Lighweight, easy to carry.....

Here are pics....thanks for letting me SHARE!!!!

yup, nice leather....oiled leather at that.....have never owned a bag like this and have always wanted to...maybe the hippie thing is finally surfacing.

LOL, you know, I just have to have those POCKETS!!

I've been very, very good since the last HH sale. I have so many new bags to wear that when I went on vaycay last month, I packed all of my bags and shoes in a plastic tote instead of a suitcase. :shame:

Hey dcblam...I agree there are amazing suggestions here! I kind of have the same taste in bags and think you should also consider Vanessa Bruno's "Lune" bag. Here is a link to a thread with pics of mine (though like I did, you might have to hunt for it here in the states- Shopbop used to carry it). http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags-and-purses/vanessa-bruno-bags-235250.html
Attached is a pic and another link, but if you search/google you might have better luck? http://parcelfromparis.com/window-shopping/vanessa-bruno-new-lune-bag-for-fall-08/
Also, have you considered 49 Square Miles? I just got the "Big Mouth Hobo" and the leather is great! Good luck :smile:
