It is in the 60s today and feels very spring like outside. I decided in honor of the beautiful day I would bring out my teal Kristin satchel and take her for a spin. I loaded my stuff in and cut the tags.
After carrying her around for awhile I'm not sure I like her and it makes me sad because she is so pretty.
I find when I put my stuff in her she is very heavy to carry around. On the shoulder it doesn't look as good as it does when it is empty either. The way it falls under my arm it kinda puffs out and doesn't seem to hang right if that makes sense. When she is empty she sits a little flatter and my arm isn't as pushed out.
The zipper issue. Half way through the pull she hangs up and I have to tug. It isn't a big deal unless you are trying to zip while it is on your arm and you can't set her down. If I have a spot to sit her on and zip it seems to work better but that isn't always an option.
I am so torn as to whether or not I should exchange her. When I look at her I love her to death but when I use it I am not happy. I could try putting less stuff in her but then that means not bringing things I need. I have been using my Tribeca and it isn't heavy at all with even more stuffed in it. For fun I took out my Sabrina which is comparable in size and shape to my Kristen and filled her with everything I had in my Kristin she isn't as heavy and sits on my shoulder better.
Guess I answered my own question maybe I will return her and look for something else. sigh... she is so pretty.
