Thanks for the compliments. The bag is full at the moment because I am traveling tomorrow.

Will take photos of the inside and post here and in the Plume clubhouse once I unpack tomorrow night. FYI - the interior is made of Swift and only has two small pockets.

So some you may recall my essay a year ago about why the Cityback "sucks" and I wasn't going to buy it. And then a few months ago I bought the Berluti Allesandro instead. But man—the Cityback had still haunted my dreams. And then last month I went to NYC meatpacking there was an special one that I couldn't get out of my head. I mulled it over for a month, and finally bought it:

The Hermes Cityback 27 "Cosmos" edition (Togo Leather):

It's Togo leather, with what I'm assuming is a dark blue base and shades of yellow, orange & red presumably painted on. Each bag has a different pattern (and to be honest, my favorite version was bought while I was mulling it over).

Unfortunately, it's the old style Cityback with the useless faux side-pocket. But I do like the side look with the double zipper co-joined with the various colors.

I don't think the design/pattern is for everyone, but it's definitely for me.

Gentlemen...K40 or B40? I currently have a HAC40 and have used it only a handful of times as I find it too cumbersome for everyday. I live in the suburbs and commute into NYC everyday for work (bus, subway). Would a K40 be more everyday since it has a strap? Do you find the K40 to be too dainty and feminine?

Does anyone have modeling shots of both, or side by sides? I'm worried that even in the 40, the K will seem too small. I'm only 5'8" but don't want it to look too small on me.

Thanks!

Do you put a lot
Do you need a bag or tote
You cannot compare birkin and Kelly in this manner
One is a tote other is a bag
