As tad knows, several weeks ago I REALLY wanted a Memphis bag and debated between the boutique Robert Katy versus finding a sale Jennifer, going back and forth, back and forth (bet you all can relate). Then we found out the Memphis line wasn't supposed to go on sale (but I guess that's changed, huh? BTW, MJ is included in Saks f&f next week), so I decided to go ahead and pay full price for the Katy.
But before I ordered it, the Bloomies Private Sale appeared and I actually was able to get a super deal on the Jennifer via an excellent Nordstrom's pricematch. So I figured it was all settled (but is it ever??).
THEN tad inadvertently showed a modeling pic of the Katy in her thread today (another one is below) and I fell in love all over again. I just love the crossbody style--it's more laid back than the Jennifer. And the exquisite Memphis leather in a small pouch that still holds a wallet, to me is perfect.
If the Katy came in beige, I'd have no dilemma and I'd get both. But the Katy only comes in Black, Brown, and White. I only like the black, but the Jennifer I got is also black.
I think I am going to order the Katy after all, and wait until they are side by side to compare and make up my mind (if such a thing is possible). Either I keep both (but they are the same color and sort of similar in size), or return the Jennifer (but it was such a great deal!!), or return the Katy for store credit.
Anyone else as crazily indecisive as I am? What would you do? Would it be really redundant to have both? The shapes are pretty different.
Other considerations: I didn't see a crossbody pouch like the Katy in the fall collection (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but there are some new bigger Memphis bags that could replace the Jennifer for me. However, no one knows at this point how much the Fall Memphis bags will be and which ones will be only at the boutique (and hence won't go on sale). I wouldn't pay full price for a Jennifer and am unlikely to get such a good price again.
