I just carried my Ergo for the first time and it has alerted me to the advantages of larger bags (see my reply to @Morgan_Bellini above). I'm afraid this question has been asked a thousand times before, but between the Patricia and the Lecagy Zip, which one do you like more and why? They both appeal to me aesthetics-wise.
I get the feeling that I'd like the Patricia's compartment situation more, but the Legacy Zip looks more body-hugging and comfortable to carry, based on photos alone. I fear the Patti might stick out weird when full.
Also, did either of these come with nickel hardware in colors besides black and red?

I'll let others weigh in. I am hugely biased toward the Patti. I do not have a Legacy Zip for comparison.

First salon appointment in 3 months today. I had to call from my car, it wound up taking a few minutes and then I walked up. It is hot out today and they immediately shoved a thermometer right at my forehead and freaked because I registered at 41C which is 105.8F which I think would have me in convulsions or dead not standing there prepared to be really ticked off which was not helping my body heat. So we waited a minute and it came down and then the third time I was fine. Next time I am blasting the car A/C on my face first. Better registering as having hypothermia than a fever.

I had a dental cleaning recently. I had my AC ramped up the whole 20 minute ride. They took my temp and was 87* F :lol:

True...but it's camel! Poor camel seems to be universally disliked. I'm not sure what it is, maybe the not-quite-yellow-not-quite-brown factor, but I too dislike camel.

Same...I had a Ramblers Legacy that turned out really well after rehab but it never grew on me as a colour. Theres a Camel court on sale a the moment but it has pen marks on the flap and I keep looking at it for a project but knowing I dont actually like the colour.

I don't mind it in the spectator version. I think it looks better with brass hardware.

The Patti is heavy when you have it full, the Legacy Zip can be used crossbody and is my go to bag.
Dont know about hardware as yet...mine are both brass.View attachment 4777386

Here is a photo of a Patricia, a Legacy Zip and a Stewardess for comparison. They each have pros and cons, like the outside pocket is very convenient on the Legacy Zip but you will have to deal with a zipper. The strap is shorter on the Stewardess so it isn't good crossbody, etc. In conclusion, you probably need to buy one of each to try them all out! And don't forget about the Taft if you like larger vintage bags!

I love my taft but dont use it as much as I would like. I want to get it in a different colour. Big Black bags I find hard to see in.

Haha, best conclusion ever! Thanks for the insight.
I like my crossbodies really short, so the Stewardess would probably work, but what I see on Ebay is always too expensive for the condition. They all seem to break in the same spot too, where the flap piping meets the body. Based on your pic it looks like the Legacy Zip is the most comfortable. A stuffed-to-the-brim Patti probably feels like a heavy messenger bag that sticks out weird. Or maybe not, so you're right and I have to stop paying rent and get one of each instead.

Agree..I like that...wonder what it is as a straight colour makes us all have negative reactions to iy.

Let the record reflect I do :yes: like camel, acorn, saddle, chamois, toffee, butterscotch, whatever Coach called it, with brass. I just had two camel Bleeker bags (93xx with the white top stitching) with weat and they did not age/rehab well! My chamois Light Tote (any one remember "shiny" tote?) came out great though. Thank goodness.
