Strange how this happens...but a couple of new bags followed me home from my errands today.
The first was a Calvin Klein python hobo in black. I haven't a camera but here's a link to the same bag...

I got mine at Nordstrom Rack for $49.00.
The second was the Kempton Harness Tote from Banana Republic...

The leather is really nice. In fact, I had forgotten my coupon (10% off...every little bit helps) so ran home and got it while they put the bag aside for me. But..when I returned, the SA had swapped the bag I'd picked off the shelf with a "fresh" one from the back. But I didn't like the texture as much on that one, which resulted in comparing several bags side by side for texture. One SA "got it", the other...not so much.
I welcome opinions. I'm itching for a new bag but - as you can see - can't afford to pop into Chanel or Gucci for something in that league. I usually carry a black bag and I carry LOTS of stuff. (I need to stop doing that!!)
Thanks in advance! You guys are the best!
