I know. I think the sale Marlena got ordered for my birthday so I hope Ruby isn't too tempting because then I'd really need to weed out some bags. I don't know if I need another plan red bag. I might be more able to justify things if they had that floral pattern again or something interesting like that.

Ruby, then Bourdeux with Silver...2 more reds to fear! Espresso with Silver sounds tempting to me too...

Definitely. It's so hard to resist. Whenever they have sales I always start to consider bags that I wouldn't normally even buy.



I was just thinking today I should sell a few bags before the Frankie comes out in August.

That is how I ended up with the black quilted Britt and because it turned out really great, I'm open to all sorts of possibilities now which just makes decisions harder!!

It is tempting...but, I make myself think it through and can usually get a grip...I do love to change my bag once or twice a week...but, in order to buy..it better make sense...sold all my infrequent used bags, only have my favorites now...and it feels good to use and enjoy them...and no extra clutter!

Bravo! An inspiration, you and a couple others here. Clutter is practically my middle name. I REALLY love variety but it's helpful to keep in mind what is truly useful. For example, this huge storm rolling into the east coast means it's time to get Gunmetal Bianca back out cause it is seriously waterproof and really great with the long strap, freeing the hands for an umbrella or two! :D

Yep, sale goggles! I have gotten much better about this, but I have been really bad this week.

And now the Kingsport Gray City Tote seems to be calling my name. Argh. I know people have posted about the City Tote but I can't go down the rabbit hole of searching for previous posts, so for those who have it, do you love it? Why or why not? And are those thin straps comfortable even when you have a lot in the bag? How much does the bag weigh empty? Thanks! :D

I loved the look of the city tote but functionally, it just didn't suit up to my needs.
I wanted to use it as a work bag with laptop and some files. It all fit but the leather straps weren't comfortable but mind you there was a laptop in it. I have since switched over to Jane and she is more comfortable and lighter. The side outside pockets were hard to get in and out of too. I rarely zipped the bag because it wasn't easy to do. I say if you are using this for like a gym bag or for lighter items, this could work.
So really not a fan of the city tote but I love the intention of it.

That is exactly what I am using for the same reason. I just love this bag. :graucho:

I feel the same way! I have been eyeing that moss Frida that is now like 50% off! It is SO tempting....but then I try to think when and where I would use it as I am one not to switch purses....like never....lol... I have my cherry Hayley that gets used every day. And I have a Lizzy for a smaller bag to take into NYC.

For those of you that have a Frida...do you love it? And how do you use it?

Oh...and I SO want something in the butterfly print. Will the metro totes come out in that printt? That's what I want,...a large metro in butterfly print.

So how fo I justify the Frida now? Except it just looks so cool......sigh.....

They are planning to release the medium Metro in the butterfly print.

I have Frida and I did not think I would like or use her but I got one in the beautiful black diamond quilted with the blue contrast leather. she is vey sharp looking. I don't carry even my iPad usually, but I have a katherine wallet, a small savvy, a flat pouch, sunnies, readers, keys, cell and a 9oz water bottle, still lots of room. very organized, like the straps.

my feeling is it is better to try a bag you are unsure of when it is on sale and then if you don't find it to your liking, sell it right away. Moss is a deep rich brown green color and is a good all year round neutral.
go for it!

Right now I keep thinking about the neon Katherine wallet because I wish my Lexi had more card slots. I also keep looking at the Lizzy since everyone raves about it.

I do have City Tote in Kingsport. Love color. I use as purse when I need something larger than my usual smaller bags (Lizzy)....maybe when I want to take Ipad, or a few shopping returns in bag...works great for that and is comfortable and still light. I like side pockets which have magnets...items feel secure, and water bottles don't show so doesn't look messy. I do have to say though...if you carry a ton..like I did on the way home from our last trip...those thin straps aren't the best..I did put thicker leather Lizzy strap on front of bag instead of thin crossbody strap they give as extra..which I found pretty useless..the thicker Lizzy leather strap worked out (same color) when bag was super heavy...which I carried crook of arm style...love look of bag..and find it useful when traveling as tote but if you weigh it down a lot, maybe another bag would be better.

Renza, the top of City Tote has both zipper and mag closure...I really like security of the two, didn't find an issue with zipper...but it does also give you the option of one or the other...

I love variety too. Love to change bag often for that reason. I have color variety in my most used smaller bags..size variety Bianca medium, City Tote/Britt large...now need (ok, want) a small-medium non-crossbody bag for slightly dressier option....maybe a Baby Jane...then I should be done! Problem is, I will probably come up with another want/need category....what should the magic number be? My husband would say 1....😏

Thanks for the info. It is tempting to go for the Frida. And you are right...getting it on a great sale is the best way to try it.
