Jesse Small Speedy - Cognac - Reveal

[BAGWANNABE]

Here are some pictures of my new Jesse Small Speedy. I really bought this bag to use in the fall. As I was taking pictures of it with my summer clothes on, I wasn't sure if it was fitting the bill. So, you'll notice the last picture I took, I'm wearing my black leather jacket. I have black leather boots that go with the jacket and I wanted something to make me look not so. . . dark. I think I like it with the black jacket - what do you think?

Positives - the leather is FABULOUS! The handles feel sooooo good! I like the color.

Questions - not sure I like how the shoulder/crossbody strap is connected to the bag - its a little awkward.

I was really longing for a simple bag with no hardware - is this too simple?

Yay! Thanks for the reveal! First time I've seen this bag being modelled.

I've been waiting for your reveal! It looks very classy!

May I ask how tall you are?

I am 5' 1". She shoulder strap is adjustable. The handles do not seem like they are made to wear on the shoulder. I think the large speedy has much larger handles. I wish these were a little longer.

I like it, but I don't LOVE it...

I don't like it with the shoulder strap. It looks much better without it. I loooooove, the leather. Isn't it so thick?

The leather is great. I have to keep the shoulder strap on it, though, because the handles are too short to put it on my shoulder.

It's growing on me. . . I feel like it could become like an old leather jacket.

Oh I think the leather is gonna be fab. I think the long strap connection placement is ...odd. And I just don't know how I feel about it with black, maybe?

Maybe I want it to work too badly. Do you wear your Scotch bag with black?

Ok, this is a weird post, I know. What do you think of these outfits? Does anybody wear cognac and black together?

Yes I do actually, on the rare occasion I actually wear black. But I wear it with all ranges of gray too. I consider this tan to be the ultimate neutral, just like navy.

Is it as dark in person as it is in the pics? Maybe that's the issue...that it's darker than you expected? If you don't love it don't keep it. It's a really great bag, but it doesn't seem like this color in particular works for you, or something about it isn't making your heart sing. I totally d ig the handles though they need to be longer, imo.

Cognac and black is fine!

I like the tans and black together. The color of the LP bag did not appeal to me. I went with the russett on a different bag. The cognac just seemed like a an off color, can't really eplain it.
