I like the Pierce bag. I contemplated getting one, but I like smaller bags though, and AFAIK, it is only available in crossbody for the small size. I think this bag looks much better as a shoulder bag. And Pierce bag sizes that are shoulder bags are larger then I would typically carry.
While I like the Pierce bag, I HATE HATE HATE the normal JWAnderson logo (the metal JW anchor thingie on the front of the bags). I will never buy a bag with that on the front of it....doesn't matter how nice the bag is. That logo overwhelms everything about the bag. It's way too showy for me (and it is not one of the more nicely designed logos IMO). I could see the logo being a huge turn off to many people.
