So I was beyond excited to get this bag! I thought it would be the perfect new Tano to add to my growing collection. I even went home over lunch to wait for the UPS man....
It arrived in a rather small box - smaller, at least, than the labeled Tano boxes I've seen in other reveals... I hastily opened it and found that the bag was wrapped in old plastic. I examined the bag, and it looked okay - a little dry, but okay. And no dust cover. (I'm a little shocked by this, coming from such a reputable store as That's Our Bag.)
I'm very sad to report, however, that I wasn't immediately impressed by the color.
I loved the shape of the Boogie, loved the hardware on the side, loved the strap and how it fit on my body (though it is surprisingly smaller than my Anti-Chic!)...but the color...I just didn't know. I tried it on with a few outfits, even, to see if that helped...
Before I go on, here are the pics....
Pic 1 - straight out of the box - still rather stiff, with flash.
Pic 2 - with flash and stuff in it. i just noticed those scratches on the bottom when i uploaded this pic, which the flash really picks up! i'm sure a little lotion could fix it, but grrr...
Pic 3 - no flash, different outfit. closest to actual color, i think. there's a very peachy undertone to it (which is exactly what i THOUGHT would like), but still in the orange family.
Pic 4 - no flash
Pic 5 - on floor with stuff in it

) or Pink Raspberry. I might even get both just to compare and contrast colors... I just dunno, though. I think the color I choose needs to stay with blues and wines - cooler undertones. I love the idea of a yellow bag, but after the experience with this watermelon color, I don't know if it would be any better of a color fit. It would tremendously more versatile, I think...
