. . .by the Carter bug!
After all the posts about them, I had to see one IRL, so I went to Saks and saw the jr. and rocker tote in the charcoal.
The leather is amazing--thick yet light. I don't think there was any skimping on this collection! I love the design; it's so sleek and understated.
The jr looks funny to me carried with the shoulder strap, because it has a squat shape and it doesn't balance right, but the tote looked perfect.
However, the tote is too big for a handbag.
So, can anyone (tad?) fill me in on the cubie? Is it the same width as the jr, only taller? Does it balance OK when over the shoulder? Which colors does it come in?
And for everyone else--should I trade in my Daydream hobo for a Carter?
I really didn't want to buy more than one full-priced bag this season.
In a transaction arranged over a month ago, I just got an aubergine Kate from a lovely tpfer and I didn't realize the color/shape would be so similar to the Daydream hobo. (I love the cute little purple Kate--won't give that up because it's very functional and was a great price).
Or I *could* get both a Carter and a Daydream. If I got a grey Carter I think I would forgo my planned grey Spring Street and a wallet on sale, so it equals out, right?
Too many choices!! What should I do?
