Agree with u. Bedford wears so much better for me. No fray thread popping beneath the quilting or slippery metro/Sutton double strap. I get why Oxford is popular - light weight and quilted look, I can even like some of the Bedford air bag ... But why go zero bedford pleats

Exactly keep the diversity. A little something for everyone. I would still like a micro Sutton or something similar in a summer color. The bag I ordered today was instead of the backpack I had ordered before the new year. Do you keep a list of your bags and their usage? I do so I know what is being used and how much. If something sits without being used I usually get rid of it to avoid clutter.
I note down how many times I use the bag, when I bought it and the price I paid.
I love the bag. It looks great on you. I especially like the color and wouldn't mind having one of their bags in currant. It always frustrated me that whenever they had a color that I particularly liked it would only be in stock for a fairly short period of time. I bought a bag that didn't work out for me in a beautiful slate blue color. I would have loved to have a different bag in that color but the color was discontinued before I knew it.
I've considered buying a mini Soho but it is similar to the black small Chelsea I already own...somewhat smaller though. I would prefer it in dawn which they don't currently have in stock. Also had some concerns about how wide it is across the bottom. I'm sure it would hold a lot because of the width but fear it would stick out from my body too much and look odd. Would you report back on what you think of it once you get it and try it out.
Oh good, I have thought of a Mini Soho many times. My one concern, and you can let me know..., will it be slouchy? And, in those nifty hidden pockets..does it show the outline of what you put in there through to the surface of the bag?
I do have a list now.. I don’t keep track of how often I use each. I just know that I love them all. Every so often I think I might sell a few.., I go through and realize...nah. I have a few years ago sold off a few..., some I am good with, some I really regret. Now that they are not making new Bedford styles, and consistently tempting me, I don’t feel the need to sell.
Bedford bags to me are nice handbags. They are made of such beautiful materials, drape so nicely, look so feminine. The Oxford bags are more just tote-like bags to me. They are fun. Cute shapes and colors..., not especially well-made.., and a bit over-priced for what they are.
I agree. I just bought my first oxford bag recently--a small Sutton. While I like it and don't regret buying it, I can see a difference in the quality between it and the Bedford line...cheaper lining and stiff clasps that are hard to open wide enough to attach the strap. I also feel like overpaid considering the lower quality.
The lacquer one that came the strap drop was fine and gorgeous but the zipper would not open. I decided to switch to getting the mini soho when the date passed that I wanted to use the backpack for and the new one had not arrived yet.
I will let you know once I load it up the first time . I almost added the extra money to buy the paige but decided I wanted something that had handles too.
I took the wrapping off the bag today. I love the hidden pockets. Tag is still on but I think it might be a keeper. Also I love the red lining. I will let you know more once I use it. We had snow squalls today and expecting more nasty weather. I don’t like to test new bags that have vachetta leather in the handles in bad weather.
I bought small Sutton fog/magnet with the code. The quilt stitch is fog in case if anyone is wondering. Online mzw stock pic the quilt stitching looks like magnet, mod pic looks like fog. It also comes with a small cloud dustbag.
