So I am annoyed on two fronts...both are on me, but I'm still annoyed. I bought a Greta and could have waited until today and gotten one for free. AND even worse, I ordered a Small Chelsea last night...LAST NIGHT. Ugh. Smh...need to remember to save orders for weekends during Summer Special time.

Ah, I really wants to purchase yesterday but through a combination of my normal procrastination and baby distraction, I got to see this weekend's summer special! I count that as luck.... Otherwise I would be in the same boat :)

New here, but I've been trying the same thing with the medium Sutton this past week. I'm thinking that it's not going to be an every day bag for me, but it will be a great "daypack". Since I'm not a big backpack fan, but I love CB's, I love it for that idea. I haven't tried the small Sutton yet, but I think it will be too small for the daypack idea since I'll be out with three kids every time I use it that way.

Someone who was posting with a new baby a couple months ago I think tried a large sutton or medium and reported being happy initially, with a photo of a full bag. With bags I usually need more space than I initially think. I do wonder if it ended up too small for her or continued to rock!

I've been using my large sutton as a daily commute bag for a while and love just having available space. But adored small sutton when I used it! Until I needed more space due to crutches (easier to carry lunch). I like them all I guess :)
 
Congrats!!! I have 2 year old toddler twins and used to be a leather bag snob (still am honestly) but see the value in lighter bags because babies = STUFF!! And it all has to be schlepped by Mom!!

I have found great use in my small Sutton for zoo outings etc. the pouch I keep diapers in and I have room for my stuff and pacifiers and what not and throw it on cross body and two hands free to hold kids hands! I am looking into Roxy Crossbody as I love the blue cameo and I also like how I Have the option for shoulder carry for days I am at work or doing my own thing and Crossbody for my Mom duties as with two I have to have both hands free!

I echo what everyone has said...ENJOY this time! It goes by so quickly...seems like yesterday I was severely sleep deprived and now I am registering kids for Intro to Preschool! It goes by so quickly!!

I am incredibly impressed the small sutton is enough for you. I did also see a YouTubed video review of smutton for parent with diaper needs. She made it look workable too. You give me great hope, thank you!

Blue camo is really gorgeous and with recommendations here for Roxy, definitely considering it. The outer side pockets look fantastic. I usually make great use of pockets like that when they exist.
 
Yes, Bettie (I think I spelled it incorrectly before) is about the size of Greta but with more rounded corners and some classic pleating.

Do you love Petey and spare Petey? Isn't it such an easy little thing to use? And, yes, obviously you now need Amethyst Greta.

Yes yes and yes! :) Petey is almost the wallet version of suttons, ha. I really like the leather too; it's same as trim on Nikki's and Charlis. I don't have any MZW all leather bags yet, but look forward to enjoying it when I do get one.

Oh no! I did think to myself earlier this week that I should pump the brakes and not jump and order..., the Summer Specials sometimes surprise you with discounts, double points, or even a bag that I might like better... I have got a few things this Summer..., so only 1 Fall item!! Going to take my time.
 
The Abbey bags definitely seem to have a place for everything. I LOVE the cross-body and am curious about the small and medium tote.

Despite my lusting after amethyst, I'm trying to narrow down options there which is slowing down decision making big time. But I am definitely purchasing Quartz Abbey Crossbody! This is a surprise to me. But the style can replace my leather clutch that I've been throwing into large sutton (as it holds minimum essentials like wallet keys sunglasses) plus extra pouch with the walking drugstore items. And to what you said about black, that quartz looks so good to me in this style, almost dressy, and because it's smaller it's not too much pink.

My Roxy side pockets..phone in one...caseless sunglasses in the other. Easy grab and go; pop in and out - when in and out of stores etc....[emoji173]️
 
I like that black sutton has black hardware and black leather. In other colors, I think matching hardware would look toyish almost tacky, maybe, maybe not. I sometimes find that the natural leather takes away from them...maybe...

If you really want the free item-- return and reorder with the promo since you have free returns.
 
If you arent set on amethyst, return greta. Apparently if you bought online CS is making you repurchase and return the prior order. If you really want a Greta/Lara for free, I would do that.

Yes, that's their standard M.O. I completely understand their position. I prefer the saffiano leather on the amethyst version. It will wear better. I already have a Lara, so I'm going to let it go. Just because it's free doesn't mean I need it!

Well....it wouldn't be enough in ALL situations for sure...but at 2 i really just need diapers and wipes...change of clothes and more diapers and wipes in the van....when they were babies and bottles and bibs and all that no way!
