RTT and Escapade???

Zacorey, try a search for RTT and you may turn up both. A while back someone posted an Escapade, thinking at first it might be an RTT, and that's the only picture I can remember seeing. I think the measurements were given in the discussion that followed. It is the bag that is taller than a WE by a few inches, maybe a little less wide and a bit deeper. It looks more purse-ish. All three new styles, the Escapade, the Step and the RTT, share something of that same shape and are moving away from the plain rectangle.

The RTT is smaller than the Escapade, and looks like a great big Step with GH. I will go measure and get back to you. It is big, though, more in the realm of a Work, but larger. Here's a pic.

Thank you soooo much roller!!! You are so awesome for helping me understand about these styles!!! Is that your RTT??? It is GORGEOUS!!!!:love:

I think the RTT sounds just perfect for me.
 
^^^that was incredibly helpful!!! Thank you for the info!!! I love that the handles are more roomy too!!! That is the size of my Chanel XL Cabas!!!

One more question~ does the RTT only come w/GH?
 
Nope, it comes with either gold or silver, but you just have to find it! I had been too bad already at the time I got my notice, but I know AR got them only in silver in several colors. NM had this Sienna or Ocean with silver.

Welcome!
 
I'll try to drag them all out and compare, but it may be later! They are similar. The Step is a rh only bag, about the size of a city. The RTT is GH only. The Brief is in between and is a flatter bag with a different top opening that a lot of people didn't like so much.

Thanks! I think I'm craving black with silver. Are you only using this bag for travel or would you use it as an everyday bag?
 
The RTT is also referred to as the DAY OFF. The Escapade is a much bigger bag (same rectangular shape as the Weekender but bigger). Both bags ONLY come with Giant Hardware

Although the Brief and the RTT may look very similar in the photos below, they actually are quite different. The RTT/ Day off, has a bottom which gives the bag a better dimension (unlike the Brief)....plus the handles are longer and the opening is MUCH wider.

RTT next to a Weekender (hopefully that helps you imagine how the Escapade compares)...

Hope that helps, Zacorey!
 
Hello, ICB!

The Brief doesn't have a separate bottom panel with little feet like the RTT and the Step. It is just the 2 pieces of leather for front and back sewn together. Brief measurements: 12" W at top, about 17.5"W at bottom, 15" H and 3" D.
