After your guys' very helpful intel, I find myself possibly being able to get a Sunset or an Eclipse! A Sunset is being delivered to my home store next week, and I'm waiting for an SA in another city to call me back to order their Eclipse. I'm debating whether I should stick with the Sunset and not even bother with the Eclipse but I've always been a fan of that mono (and don't own a piece in it yet!). Still, the Sunset keeps beckoning me... (And I don't own any of Virgil's designs yet...)

Thinking about versatility but also as a bag collector, which one should I go with??

I have the xs sunset and the only reason I don't have the eclipse yet is because I want to make sure I want another xs or if I should go with the city keepall. While I know I will enjoy the eclipse, the sunset really makes me smile every time I look at it. The colors are so beautiful!!! If you like bright colors, then I would go with the sunset. The eclipse will be available longer it seems.

I agree with everything @DrTr said. Good luck deciding and keep us posted.

I have both, and love both, but that sunset bag is really a stunning small piece! If you are only buying one, I would absolutely buy the sunset. It will be long gone soon, has a leather strap, and you can likely get the eclipse in the future. I like the sunset so much as I love colored bags and slg’s and that little cutie goes with everything, and the colors just make me happy. Although I wear and love the eclipse too. Good luck deciding:flowers: and I always say if you can, buy both!!:P:drinks:

Thank you! You two are terrible enablers :biggrin: - I've now got both on the way to me next week! If I really feel I should only keep one, I think I'll go with the Sunset. Can't wait to get them. Thanks for your help. This is going to be a terribly addictive club! :drinks:

My two XSes have arrived! Picked up the Sunset in boutique yesterday and the Eclipse just arrived via UPS today. Will post a pic in a bit but quick Q - have any of you had trouble adjusting the strap length? I'm trying to pull the notch out of the hole for the Eclipse's strap and it's totally stuck in there. Is there another way that I just don't know or a trick, or should I keep pulling it until it gives?

Congrats!! Especially wow, the Sunset at boutique- that's like finding gold!!! I haven't had much trouble with my leather strap but I've never owned canvas so not sure

Canvas strap is harder to be pulled out, you could try to ‘twist’ it from one side, pull the strap across one side of the round button first. Make sure you move the leather loop away first so that you would not damage the loop .

Yes, it was hard to adjust the strap for me too. I ended up pushing and wiggling it until I could finally push it through to move the metal piece to another hole. Once you get it adjusted it holds! Felt like I was causing damage, but it didn’t. Hope you’ve already gotten it adjusted.

My weak upper body strength made me eventually lose the will to wrestle with it. :lol: Will try again this weekend then since that's really the way to do it. Thanks for the advice!

I got my first XS this weekend. The strap connections squeak like crazy! Does anyone else have this issue?!

Oh wow, mine do not do that. Do you mean the metal connectors squeak or is it the leather or canvas? Sounds annoying and disappointing.

I only laugh because I’ve been there. Maybe you know a brawny handed person that can separate canvas in a single twist! :lol:
