I have the eva and I don't use it that often but I LOVE having it. It is such a staple. It's good to know I have the option of using her when I only need a few things with me!! I would def recommend it!!
I would buy it and then tell your DH that you would like him to take you out for lots of special dinners. That way you will get lots of use out of the purse and spend some quality time with your husband!
Spinky, many of my smaller bags only get used about 10 times a year. I think that is normal.
