That's a good point.. I would feel weird using the Hamptons Tote in November or something ush:
Heck - it's MAY and I still haven't used my hamptons tote yet! Strickly a june/july/august bag to me!
IMO - you can't go wrong with the signature stripe in chocolate...classy bag, good for year-round use, and easy to find (ie - you don't have to order it from JAX or scour ebay for it).
