Twins on this! I have one and I've never worn it; it's time to dig it out. They are lovely aren't they? Make a good weapon too if the need ever arose.

I have the red one, it is the same colour as the one you just showed. It's pretty versatile with the way the strap is made. I wear it on Canada Day! I would love a Sonoma Satchel in red, it's my HG. Was the colour called Tomato?

I thought it was called Tomato. I was expecting more of a red-orange rather than the true red I got. I wonder if there was more than one red color?

My hangtag has split and I only got one floppy half. :sad:

Both my red bags are exactly the same shade but if I had to describe the undertone I would characterize them as warm red with an orange undertone instead of cool red which would have a purple undertone. According to eBay's Sonoma guide the only red color was Tomato. I would love the Tomato satchel, I have three, one in Wheat, one I just bought which I am assuming is Chocolate, and one that looks like BT but there is no BT in Sonoma's so its either Saddle, Pumpkin or maybe Camel.

Thank you! It's a nice medium size. It's about 11 inches wide, 9 inches tall, and 4 inches deep, but a lot of room is taken up by the sections. The center section floats so you can overfill on one side or the other. It's fine for me because I don't carry a lot, but the medium (small) Bleecker is fine for me, and I remember you saying it was too small.

Hmm. I like the zip pocket on the outside but I think the inside compartments would be too narrow for my sunglasses case. Pity, but it's not like I really do need another purse!

You could make the other half from a scrap of leather and glue it together, or even just paint the ither sude red with acrylic paint, which would stiffen it a little. Or switch it for a brass one. That and one of your many gorgeous fobs will look lovely.

Thanks! I didn't think about just painting it. If it doesn't work, I can always find a scrap to glue to it. I have lots of fobs that would look beautiful with the red; not many have brass hardware but I might not let that bother me.
