Ombre Green Chain Hopewell

I'm starting to think maybe the Hopewell isn't a shoulder bag after all. The strap drop is 6.5". So I know the drop on the Esquivel was 6" and it was an armpit bag....so I doubt half an inch would make a big difference. Darn, I might not get it now.

I would like the see the "Noe" in person (forgot the real name of it). I think it might be cute if you replace the drawstring with a nice scarf but I've never carried that style of bag before. I think it's comparable to those Dooney & Bourke drawstring bags so I might go try one on at Macy's just to give myself an idea.
 
You know seeing the green chain bags online and then in person is a totally different experience. They really do look black and green online, and then in person they are 'POW' , blue and green. For myself though honestly i think i would rather have it black and green... It's still a really pretty bag i just would have liked it to be black instead.
 
Hey lambiepie - that is a helpful description!

I've been lusting after the green chain bags online - and at the last minute before clicking BUY went back to my original Checkerboard 'plan'. I love the green chain bags, love 'em - but was definitely thinking it was more of a black/green color combo.

I'm going to do a Nordies field trip in hopes of seeing what the colors look like up close and personal. The blue isn't a deal breaker by any means, but absolutely a good thing to know, if I had purchased, I would have been surprised to see blue when I was thinking black!

The drawstring bag is gigantic, it doesn't look that big in the pictures but it's huge!
 
Well, that's good to know. I'm not a fan of big bags....hopefully the Hopewell will fit nicely on my shoulder cause it looks so wonderful in the pictures!
 
I know it's wishful thinking but I REALLY REALLY want the Green Ombre Chain stuff to go on sale on the 21st. I know my chances are pretty much non-existent...but I WANT THAT BAG SO BADLY!!!!!! :hysteric:
